    The Cinnamon Chips in These Pumpkin Blondies Really Take Them to Level of PERFECT

    I’m conflicted on what to call these. Here’s why…

    They are like brownies (because they are gooey-yet-cakey)…

    But really, they are more like blondies (because they have no chocolate or cocoa to give them a darker color)…

    But then, why not “orangies” (because they really show off the orange pumpkin puree color)…

    Brownie – Orangie – Blondie – I don’t really care what you call it, I just want you to make them!! 

    I mean, just look at them…

    Also, please note important step in making them. 

    The pumpkin spice is not over powering – the cinnamon sweetness is the perfect complement to the pumpkin based blondies. 

    When baking with pumpkin, you have to “work against” the density of the pumpkin puree. Most single batches call for a 1/2 cans worth of pumpkin puree. 

    I’ve blended pancake batter to help aerate it and work to make the pumpkin a little fluffier and less dense. 

    I went the same concept for these blondies. 

    Also, tap here for the homemade pumpkin pie spice recipe! 

    Whether you are using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, I would highly recommend using the whisk attachment and/or whisking really well in the first step – the goal is to aerate and “fluff-ify” that dense pumpkin puree.

    The cheapest option I found online is the Hershey's website. Your local grocery store might have them for less!
