Thanksgiving Pumpkin Blondies Recipes

PUMPKIN BLONDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• First, line a 13x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray (the caramel can make this very sticky!)
• In a medium size pot, combine brown sugar, butter and pumpkin. Cook over medium heat, stirring until all ingredients have melted and combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• While mixture is cooling, combine flour, baking powder, 1 tsp salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well to combine.
• Once liquid mixture has cooled, add beaten eggs and vanilla and stir well to combine. It's important the mixture is cooled to avoid cooking the eggs when you add them. Next, add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture and stir until well combined, but do not overmix.
• Place caramels and cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook on High for 1 minute, then stir. Cook on 50% power for 30 seconds, then stir again. Repeat at 50% power until thoroughly melted, being careful to avoid scorching.
• Scoop half the blondie batter into the prepared pan. Spread until mixture fully covers the bottom of the pan. Next, drizzle caramel sauce over blondie batter. Finally, scoop remaining blondie batter over the top of caramel, then spread to cover caramel.
• Bake for approximately 33-38 minutes or until top appears fully cooked and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool prior to cutting.
• Serve at room temperature, or heat for 15-20 seconds in microwave to warm. If serving warm, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
• Store tightly wrapped.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil with about 1 inch hanging over the edges for 'handles'. Spray foil with cooking spray.
• Beat brown sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth; beat in 2 eggs until combined. Beat 1 more egg and vanilla extract into brown sugar mixture until combined. Stir flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl; stir into brown sugar mixture until batter is smooth.
• Beat cream cheese in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until smooth; beat in remaining 1 egg until just combined. Beat pumpkin puree into cream cheese mixture; stir in pumpkin pie spice.
• Spread 2/3 the batter into the prepared baking pan. Drop spoonfuls of pumpkin mixture over batter; top with spoonfuls of remaining 1/3 batter and swirl together with a butter knife. Sprinkle cinnamon chips over batter-pumpkin mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until blondies are lightly browned on the edges, about 30 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Steps:

• Prepare crumb topping: In medium bowl, combine topping ingredients with fingers or pastry blender until well blended; continue until a soft dough forms. Cover and set aside.
• Prepare baking pan: Heat oven to 350 degrees farenheit. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with 2 tsp of butter. Dust with 1 Tbsp flour. Tap out excess flour.
• Prepare blondies: With a fork, thoroughly mix together 1 1/4 cups flour, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, and sugars in medium bowl.
• Stir in melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and pumpkin until well blended and smooth.
• Stir in chocolate chips just until blended.
• Spread pumpkin batter evenly in pan.
• Finishing: With your fingers, break off dime-sized pieces of molasses mixture. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the pumpkin batter.
• Bake in center of oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
• Cool thoroughly in the pan on a wire rack for about 1 hour. Cut into 16 equal bars and remove from pan. Enjoy!
