How to Make Pumpkin Spice Blondies with White Chocolate Drizzle
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
- Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Stir until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the blondies cool, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. If needed, mix in the vegetable oil to achieve a drizzling consistency.
- Once the blondies are cool, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top using a spoon or piping bag.
- Let the drizzle set for a few minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the blondies tender.
