Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg.
  3. In a larger mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter (or coconut oil), pure maple syrup, and brown sugar until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, egg (or flax egg), and vanilla extract and blend until combined.
  4. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just incorporated. Optionally, fold in chopped pecans or dairy-free chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Once baked, allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out and slicing into squares.
