Pumpkin chocolate chip blondies

Soft and chewy, these pumpkin chocolate chip blondies blend rich, melty chocolate with warm pumpkin spice. Made with a simple flax egg instead of dairy or eggs, this plant-based treat is perfect for your next gathering or cozy night in.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 tbsp. ground flaxseed
  • 3 tbsp. water (for flax egg)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 cup vegan butter (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 ½ cups mini vegan chocolate chips

Preparation

 

  1. Preheat and prep: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9×13-inch pan.
  2. Make your flax egg: Combine the ground flaxseed with the water. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  4. Cream the butter and sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened vegan butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Combine the wet ingredients: Add the flax egg and vanilla to the creamed mixture. Mix well, then beat in the pumpkin puree.
  6. Mix and fold: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet, mixing until smooth. Fold in the mini vegan chocolate chips. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake: Bake for 30 minutes or until the edges pull away from the pan and the center is set (a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean).
  8. Cool and serve: Let them cool completely before cutting. These should be fudgy, like brownies!
