Pumpkin Spice Blondies + Maple Bourbon Cream Sauce
I know it’s after Thanksgiving and ‘pumpkin spice’ season is now in the rear view mirror, but look… I just HAD to share this dessert. These Pumpkin Spice Blondies are AMAZE and the cream sauce is something I think I could bathe in. To be completely honest, you should make this dessert at all times of the year. Fall or other wise. It’s great leading into Thanksgiving, but also great to lead the way out too.
So what’s a blondie anyway? It’s basically a vanilla based brownie. This one is loaded up wit pumpkin and spice and everything nice. Including pecans and bourbon. Yep! I’ve managed to sneak some bourbon into the cream sauce and I’m not sorry about it. Not even for a second.
Mm… oh, yes. Look at this here. It’s just the best dessert. My brother definitely ate three of these last night and I don’t blame him. The blondies themselves are great, but the sauce is definitely what makes them. I used a ‘bourbon barrel’ syrup, but any maple syrup will work for the cream sauce. It’s also important to note that the brown sugar was a brown sugar/stevia blend that measures cup for cup like sugar.
I decided to go with pecans, but walnuts would work too! You can also completely forgo the nuts if you’d like to or have any allergies to them.
