Description

Fudgy, chewy, and rich, these roasted butternut squash and maple blondies are the ultimate fall dessert, combining caramelized squash with pure maple syrup and warm spices.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup roasted butternut squash puree
1/2 cup unsalted butter, browned and cooled
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of your roasted butternut squash and maple blondies.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, whisking constantly until it turns a deep golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat immediately and let it cool.
Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the browned butter, brown sugar, and pure maple syrup until well combined.
Step 4: Add the roasted butternut squash puree, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Whisk until the batter for the roasted butternut squash and maple blondies is smooth.
Step 5: Sift in the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined.
Step 6: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 22-27 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Step 7: Allow the roasted butternut squash and maple blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

For the best results, roast the squash a day in advance so the puree is cold when you start the recipe.
