Vegan Pumpkin Pie Blondies

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup white sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 3 ½ tablespoons canola oil
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan.

Sift flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. Add pumpkin puree, canola oil, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture and stir until a thick batter forms. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and cool completely before cutting into 1 1/2-inch squares.

Tips

Can be made into muffins with the addition of a 1/4 cup water, although cook time will change.
