Pumpkin Spice Blondies

I felt like last year I was SO behind on the pumpkin train. By the time I was ready to make pumpkiny things, it was Thanskgiving and I had like one day to make them all happen.

Needless to say, I missed the boat.

So, in an effort to get a seat on that pumpkin boat… I mean… train, I started early. I’ll admit it. The early bird catches the train. Or worm, whatever. A worm metaphor didn’t seem right in a food post.

These gluten free pumpkin blondies are:

• fluffy yet moist in the middle
• loaded with warm, fall spices
• easy to make in one bowl
• made with good for you ingredients

How to make gluten free pumpkin blondies:

Use an electric mixer to cream together the butter (ghee or coconut oil works too), puréed pumpkin (puréed sweet potato or butternut squash would also work!), coconut sugar, vanilla, and eggs.

Add the almond flour, baking soda, sea salt, pumpkin spice and cinnamon.

Fold in most of the chocolate chunks or chocolate chips, reserving some to sprinkle on top.

Line an 8 x 8 square pan with parchment paper. Smooth the batter into the pan, and sprinkle additional chunks on top. Bake for 20 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then transfer to a cooling rack.

Cut into 9 squares and enjoy!!
