Pumpkin White Chocolate Chunk and Candied Ginger Blondies

These pumpkin blondies might be one of the best pumpkin goodies I have ever had! Not even kidding. The trick is, they need to be chilled. They become kind of chewy and totally fabulous with the little bits of white chocolate and candied ginger throughout.

Guess what? No mixer needed, just grab your favorite bowl and you are good to go. Quick easy, and minimal clean up 🙂

Just got back from BlogHer Food in San Francisco yesterday. I was nuts and stayed up way too late downloading and editing all my pics from the trip. See what our weekend was like at the BlogHer Food Conference and all of my pics HERE.

You’ll melt your butter until nice and hot then add some white chips to melt.

Add sugar, flour….

….baking powder and salt.

…whisk 2 eggs with a little sour cream then add to the bowl!

Mmmm, the pumpkin!

Add your pumpkin 🙂

…don’t forget more white chips!

……and a little cinnamon and grated nutmeg!

Pour into a nice 8×8 inch baking pan lined with foil for easy removal 🙂

Almost ready to bake!

The candied/crystalized ginger makes the recipe, do find some!

Bake 350 degrees F. for 28-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from center.

Chill, drizzle and mmmmmm!

    I tried scrolling through most of the comments to see if you already answered this question and I didn’t see it. I will double check the commissary tomorrow, but what if I can’t find candied Ginger? I am in England on an Air Force base so unfortunately i don’t have the pleasure of American shopping.

    p.s. if you go to target anytime soon, give it a little kiss for me lol

    Thank you,

    Sarah

    These look delicious! I love your photography… you must have been paying attention in the BlogHer session when they said blue is opposite of orange. It looks beautiful!

  12. Sues

    This is a dream to me! If only I had white chocolate chips in my kitchen, I’d be good to go on making these… Must make immediately! 🙂

    Hi Jenny! I’m so glad I met you and got to discover your amazing site from the BlogHer food conference!!
    Seriously! Jenny! I’ve seen so many wonderful blogs, but I’m Utterly inspired by your’s because I really don’t have the foggiest what to do in the kitchen (I Eat desserts, I don’t really Make them!)… and I’m getting married next year! We’re about to do all the registry and I really want to be the wonderful mom to my children that mine was to me (as in, the mom that cooks!). Reading your story about how you taught yourself at such a late stage in the game makes me think that I can do it too. Additionally, you have wonderful photos with step by step instructions. Amazing!!! And finally, you spell your name the same way as I do.. I mean, how can I NOT love your site 😉

    This is now my top site to consult for those daring days that I decide to cook!!!!
