Pumpkin Peanut Blondies

INGREDIENTS

• 2 1/3 cups PBfit Peanut Flour Baking Blend
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups dark chocolate chips
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup pecans; roughly chopped
• 1 (15 ounce) can pure pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt

DIRECTIONS

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides—grease with nonstick cooking spray.

2. 2

   In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, and sugars on medium-high speed until smooth; beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in pumpkin puree. If the mixture looks curdled, do not fret.

3. 3

   Add PBfit Peanut Flour Baking Blend, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt and stir to combine. Fold in chocolate chips and pecans.

4. 4

   Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with chocolate chips and pecans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely in the pan. Cut into squares.

5. 5

   Enjoy your Pumpkin Peanut Blondies!
