Pumpkin puree offers a convenient and shelf-stable alternative to oven-baked pumpkin.
Three-quarters of an ounce of chopped cacao paste, or one-quarter of an ounce of pieces of dark chocolate, finely chopped (optional).

Whisk together 1/2 cup vegan butter and 3/4 cup white sugar. Add 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree and whisk until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

To prepare fresh pumpkin, bake a halved pumpkin at 390°F for 40-50 minutes or use pre-cut cubes in the oven at the same temperature for 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, steam cubed pumpkin for 10 minutes to achieve the desired consistency. It’s unnecessary to overprocess the pumpkin since it will eventually get blended with other components in a food processor.
Once the pumpkin has reached the desired level of ripeness, combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until a smooth, consistent batter forms. Scrape sides whenever necessary.
Combine three quarters of the chopped dark chocolate or high-quality cocoa paste into the mixture.
Carefully pour the blondie batter into a prepared cake tin, baking pan, or baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring even distribution of the mixture. Form a shape – circular, square, or rectangular – approximately three-quarters of an inch in thickness, then smoothen it with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chopped chocolate evenly over the surface before baking at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes. Let cool before slicing.
