She Says: Peanut Butter Pumpkin Blondies
I’ve been trying to make blondies for awhile now. They’ve been coming sort of more cakey than I would like. Last night, however, I had an idea for these pumpkin and peanut butter blondies so I got to work. They come closer to the dense, chewy blondies I like, but with a little less butter and sugar than other recipes I’ve tried.
Peanut Butter Pumpkin Blondies
Ingredients
- 1 stick of unsalted butter
- 3/4 cups light brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted natural peanut butter (I used Teddie’s Creamy)
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 2 egg whites
- 2 t vanilla
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 t baking powder
- 1 tea pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Directions
- Cream the butter (at room temperature) and brown sugar.
Butter and Brown Sugar
- Combine the pumpkin, peanut butter, egg whites and vanilla.
Peanut Butter + Pumpkin + Egg Whites + Vanilla
- Whisk the flour, baking powder and pumpkin pie spices.
Flour + Baking Powder + Pumpkin Pie Spice
- Add the butter and sugar mix to the pumpkin/peanut butter mix. Stir until combined.
Before mixing.
- Add that to to the flour mix.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips.
Almost mixed together...
- Pour batter into a baking dish that has been sprayed our buttered.
Before going into the oven.
- Bake at 350* for approximately 30-40 minutes.
- Try to contain yourself and cut them after they are completely cool.
Enjoy!

As soon as I saw the title, I knew this would be something I’d like haha Pumpkin + PB = holy deliciousness!
Question about the Dr. Praeger’s from last night…do they taste meaty? I want to try them but I’m tired of trying “burgers” that try to taste like real meat. Sorry if that doesn’t make sense
I hope you don’t mind but I’ve added you to my blogroll. I love your blog and the challenges you and Mark do! Happy Friday!

I LOVE pumpkin and PB. I’ve actually been known to stir them together with a bit of honey and eat the mush with a spoon. It’s awesome and those look awesome too.

I checked my alkaline level kind of on accident. I was just looking for ways to increase my energy level – eating to alkalize was something my parents had been into a long time ago.

Those look incredible!! Thank you so much for the recipe
I’ve recently fallen even more in love with white chocolate chips than ever before, so these are perfect. I might have to make them for Thanksgiving!
November 15th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Mmmmm. I’m salivating!
November 15th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Ohmygoodness those look fantastic! And wait for them to cool? Hah!
I am definitely going to try this. How much is a stick of butter (in terms of cups)?
November 15th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
Hi Sagan, It’s 1/2 cup of butter.
November 16th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
OH MY BLONDIE. All of my favorite things!
January 5th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
i’m relieved to learn i am not the only one who likes pumpkin and peanut butter together — one of my earliest “signature” recipes (as a teenager!) was pumpkin bread with peanut butter chips. sounds strange but tasted delicious. Hmmm….i still have that recipe in an old recipe box somewhere….
