Pumpkin Blondies

Pumpkin Blondies

Yum.  I had to do something with the pumpkin left over from the enchiladas with pumpkin sauce!  So, I used the pumpkin for a healthy entree....and the rest for a decadent dessert.  This seemed a bit more like pumpkin cake than any sort of blondie or brownie to me.

Eleanor was actually the baker on these and she decreased the butter a bit to about 10 tablespoons.  They still were a bit oil heavy, so I wouldn't use the amount called for in the link above.  They were very sweet, so I would decrease the sugar a bit on the next round as well.  I may use 3/4 c each of the chips (white and butterscotch) next time as well.  They weren't as pumpkin-y as I like either.  So....overall....I'm not sure if they will make it to another round...but they weren't bad...
