Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Ready Time: 50 mins


• preheat oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil with about 1 inch hanging over the edges for 'handles'. spray foil with cooking spray.
• beat brown sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth; beat in 2 eggs until combined. beat 1 more egg and vanilla extract into brown sugar mixture until combined. stir flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl; stir into brown sugar mixture until batter is smooth.
• beat cream cheese in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until smooth; beat in remaining 1 egg until just combined. beat pumpkin puree into cream cheese mixture; stir in spice.
• spread 2/3 the batter into the prepared baking pan. drop spoonfuls of pumpkin mixture over batter; top with spoonfuls of remaining 1/3 batter and swirl together with a butter knife. sprinkle cinnamon chips over batter-pumpkin mixture.
• bake in the preheated oven until blondies are lightly browned on the edges, about 30 minutes. cool completely before cutting into bars.
