Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly oil an 8” x 8” square baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pureed pumpkin, egg, almond butter, and vanilla extract (wet mixture).
In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, allspice, ground ginger, salt, and baking powder (dry mixture).
Add the dry mixture to the bowl with the wet mixture and stir well to combine. Fold the dark chocolate chips into the batter.
Pour the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out.
Sprinkle unsweetened shredded coconut over the blondie batter (optional) and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick tests clean.
Allow blondies to cool at least 20 minutes before slicing into them and serving.
