Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup almond butter ((or nut butter of your choice))
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup maple or coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup enjoy life chocolate chips ((optional, but let's be real - pumpkin and chocolate kind of belong together))

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease an 8x8 baking dish with the fat of your choice (I used avocado oil, but coconut oil would be good too).
  • Add all of the ingredients, except the egg baking soda and apple cider vinegar, to a medium sized mixing bowl.
  • Mix with a spoon until creamy.
  • Whisk your egg in a separate bowl and then dump it into your mixing bowl and stir it into the mixture until it's evenly combined.
  • Add your baking soda and apple cider vinegar last...it will be like a science project. The apple cider vinegar will make your baking soda all fizzy. You MUST do this last because it is what will make your blondies rise a little extra!
  • Once the fizzing starts to slow down mix all the contents of your bowl up until everything is combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips if you use them.
  • Pour the mixture into your baking dish.
  • Bake in the oven for about 22-24 minutes. It will seem a little squishy when it is done. Just take it out and let it cool as it will harden as it cools.
  • Enjoy these paleo pumpkin blondies! They're especially fun in the fall, but tasty all year long!
  • Store them in the fridge in an airtight container for about a week.
