Ingredients
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- ¼ cup coconut oil or butter melted and cooled
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract optional
- 1 2/3 cups almond flour/meal
- 1/3 cup maple sugar or coconut sugar*
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice**
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 8” x 8” square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add the melted butter (or coconut oil) pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl and mix well until completely combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl (almond flour, maple sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and sea salt) and stir well until a thick dough forms.
- Stir in the chocolate chips until well distributed throughout the dough.
- Transfer the blondie dough to the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. If desired, top with more chocolate chips.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden-brown and the center is still somewhat soft.
- Remove the cookie bars from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 30 minutes. Transfer the pumpkin blondies to a cutting board. Cut them into squares, and enjoy!
Notes
*Feel free to replace the maple sugar or coconut sugar with regular granulated cane sugar or brown sugar.
**If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, use 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and ⅛ teaspoon of cloves. Or just stick with cinnamon.
