- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, dried (see recipe)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the cinnamon sugar coating
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8 x 8-inch square pan with parchment paper on all sides. Set aside.
- Place the pumpkin puree onto a few layers of paper towels and blot away the excess moisture. Wrap it in a clean paper towel and gently squeeze over the sink to remove as much liquid as possible.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the dried pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk to combine.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Mix until a soft dough forms and no streaks of flour remain. Use a silicone spatula to scrape the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to the edges.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the cinnamon sugar mixture. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar all over the top of the blondies.
- Bake the blondies until they have puffed up and are set on the edges but still slightly gooey in the middle, about 18 to 22 minutes.
- Allow to cool before eating! Enjoy!
