Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients`

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup melted unsalted butter, slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Prep the oven & pan
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch pan or line with parchment paper.
  • Mix wet ingredients
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla, and egg until smooth.
  • Combine dry ingredients
    In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Fold everything together
    Add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Fold gently until almost combined. Stir in the brown sugar and mix just until no streaks of flour remain.
  • Bake
    Spread batter evenly in the pan. Bake 25–28 minutes, or until the edges look set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool & slice
    Allow blondies to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For extra maple flavor, add ½ teaspoon maple extract.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for enhanced sweetness contrast.
  • Allow full cooling for clean, neat slices.
