Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Blot the Pumpkin Puree
You don't want to skip this step! It will prevent the blondies from becoming cakey. Scoop the pumpkin purée into a bowl. Lay a clean paper towel (or two) flat over the surface of the purée. Gently press down so the paper towel absorbs excess liquid. Lift, discard, and repeat with a fresh paper towel until barely any moisture comes out.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add pumpkin purée, eggs, and vanilla, stirring until combined.
Add the Dry Ingredients
Stir in flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until just combined. Don’t overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
