Pumpkin White Chocolate Blondies!

   

I have always loved the brownie's cousin, the blondie.  Sometimes, I am not sure that I don't like the blondie even better.  This takes the blondie and changes it up with the addition of pumpkin and white chocolate and the result is so moist and delicious.  This is a simple recipe that you can stir together in no time and even those who say they don't like pumpkin will love it.   Here is what you will need:

1  1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup nuts, chopped (walnuts or pecans)
confectioners sugar to sprinkle the top

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a 9 inch square baking pan with foil ( I used the Reynolds nonstick)  and spray with nonstick baking spray.

Mix together the flour and seasonings with the baking powder and salt.

With a wire whisk (not an electric mixer) mix together the pumpkin, eggs, sugars and butter.  Add the vanilla.

Whisk the pumpkin mixture into the four mixture.  Fold in the white chocolate chips and the nuts.  Spread in  the prepared baking pan.  Bake for 30-35 minutes. 

Let cool completely.  I like to sprinkle with some powdered sugar or you can melt some of the white chocolate chips and drizzle over the top for a pretty finish.
