Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 350f and grease and line an 8x8 inch square pan.
• 2 place sugar into a large bowl and pour the melted butter over it, mix with a whisk until well combined and smooth. add in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
• 3 add in the pumpkin and mix until well combined and smooth.
• 4 in a medium sized bowl, place the flour, salt, spices and chocolate chips and stir until the chocolate chips are coated in flour.
• 5 add the flour mix into your wet ingredients and stir until combined - don't be tempted to beat or over mix otherwise you'll end up with rubbery blondies.
• 6 tip the mix into your lined pan and smooth until level with a spatula/wooden spoon.
• 7 place in the oven for 25-30 minutes until an inserted skewer into the centre comes out clean. they will still look a little dark/moist in the middle, this is fine.
• 8 leave to cool in the pan for at least and hour before transferring to a wire rack.
• 9 once cool, slice into 9-12 pieces.
• 10 blondies will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature, for 3 days.
