Pumpkin Blondies with Pumpkin Frosting

Pumpkin Blondies with Pumpkin Frosting -these are chewy, sweet, pumpkin-y, and the perfect fall treat for pumpkin lovers.

I'm a big fan of pumpkin, and these Pumpkin Blondies with Pumpkin Frosting are delicious. This recipe is the perfect way for you to celebrate fall.

These are the best pumpkin blondies. They're dense, moist and chewy like a regular blondie, but also full of pumpkin flavor, and warm spices. These fudgy chewy pumpkin bars are perfect for someone who doesn't love chocolate. They are one of my very favorite pumpkin recipes. As easy to make as your regular brownie recipes, but full of pumpkin goodness instead. They're made with simple ingredients from your pantry, that you usually have on hand, as well as the pumpkin puree, which you may have this time of year. Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree in this recipe and not pumpkin pie filling, as it already has pumpkin pie spice and sugar added, and is not what you want for this recipe.

These pumpkin blondies are usually the first recipe I make when I'm looking for some fall flavor, and they're on repeat all pumpkin season. I made them yesterday afternoon for a church event tonight. My family has already eaten 6 of them...safe to say we love them around here. 😉 This is easily my favorite blondie recipe. The best part about these blondies is that they are a dense, moist, and chewy blondie, with a creamy, and sweet frosting. I love the fudgy texture they have. These make a chewy pumpkin blondie, similar in texture to a fudgey brownie.Perfect with a cup of tea, and these easy pumpkin blondies are quick to make too.

You could also turn these into pumpkin chocolate chip blondies, with the addition of 1 cup of chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks, if you are a real chocolate lover. Or add in white chocolate chips for another chocolate chip pumpkin blondies option. Or try butterscotch chips for a caramel pumpkin blondies option.
