Ingredients
2 cups gluten-free flour blend (with xanthan gum)
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1.25 cups granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
0.5 cup toasted pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined, then stir in the pumpkin purée.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated.
Fold in the white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and toasted pecans if using.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 24 blondies.
Notes
Ensure you are using pure pumpkin puree, not pre-spiced pumpkin pie filling. For added depth, swap the granulated sugar for packed light brown sugar. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
