Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir it frequently until the butter turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Then, take it off the heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the browned butter and the packed light brown sugar. Then add the egg, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree and mix well.
In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If you like, fold in the white chocolate chips or pecans.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
