    Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Blondies are an easy treat made with healthy almond flour, coconut flour, and almond butter, and bursting with pumpkin spice! Gluten-free, vegan, refined sugar-free. If you've been around here of late, you may have noticed that apples have taken a starring role in my most recent recipes. Whether it's apple hand pies or applesauce cake, I've got you covered, and I have plans for more.

    But, for today, it's time for a little pumpkin.

    Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Blondies are an easy treat made with healthy almond flour, coconut flour, and almond butter, and bursting with pumpkin spice! Gluten-free, vegan, refined sugar-free. Pumpkin in the form of chocolate chip studded blondies. In my opinion, pumpkin and chocolate are a hard combo to resist, and these pumpkin blondies are no different.

    Made with almond flour, a bit of coconut flour, and almond butter, they are surprisingly full of protein and fiber. And with an added boost of Vitamin A from the pumpkin, we can pretty much agree that these soft, chewy, and slightly gooey bars are healthy-ish!

These chocolate chip pumpkin blondies are part of my friend's (Sara, from Cake Over Steak) annual #virtualpumpkinparty.

      These look awesome! I looked at your grain free honey blondies - those had an egg in the recipe. Wondering why this recipe doesn’t? Just curious ?

        Thanks, Annie! I wanted to have an egg-less blondie, so I replaced the egg with almond butter. It works as the binder here and adds a lovely gooey-ness! :)
