Ingredients
  

1 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon fine salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, allowing for easy lifting and cleanup later.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with pumpkin puree, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk vigorously or stir until the mixture is fully combined and smooth in texture.

      Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then pour in the pure vanilla extract and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

        In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, fine salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. This ensures that the leavening agents and spices are evenly distributed.

          Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure your blondies retain a soft and chewy texture.

            Carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for delightful bursts of chocolate in each bite.

              Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs (avoid any wet batter).

                  Once baked, allow the blondies to cool in the pan for approximately 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Once fully cooled, cut into squares or rectangles, and serve!

                        - Presentation Tips: For an added touch of decadence, sprinkle a handful of extra chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking. Serve warm alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful and cozy dessert experience!
