Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk pumpkin purée, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth.

Notes

  • Don’t overbake: Blondies should be chewy, not cakey.

  • Flavor boost: Add extra cinnamon or pumpkin spice.
  • Frosting: A drizzle of maple glaze or cream cheese frosting pairs beautifully.
