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.
