I made them yesterday afternoon for a church event tonight. My family has already eaten 6 of them…I think they like them. 😉 The blondie is dense, moist, and delicious, and the frosting is creamy, and sweet. Perfect with a cup of tea, and easy to make too.
With Pumpkin Blondies with Pumpkin Frosting , life really is a party.

Oh YUM!!! I’ll have to try this out. I’ll be at BlogPodium this weekend so I’ll be sure to say hellp 🙂
Made these after apple picking today. They smell delicious when cooking and tasted wonderful too. However, mine didn’t rise like yours. I’m not sure what I did wrong. Not having a 16*16 pan I used a 9*13 one and halved the recipe – if my math is correct, I should have had slightly thicker squares than you. Unfortunately that didn’t happen. Thankfully, the family was all in favour of cutting my resulting rectangle in half and using extra frosting to make nine pumpkin blondie sandwiches.
Hi Helen, I just realized I goofed up the pan size, I was thinking double an 8 x 8, but it should have been a 9 x 13, which is what I actually used. So sorry. I’ve fixed the recipe, thanks for letting me know, and glad they were yummy anyway. 😉
They look so dense and fudgy, I can imagine how warmly flavoured they must be. Visiting from Palooza Link Party.
These are delicious! For some reason mine came out more cake-like, really fluffy and moist, which is fine by me. I want to make these again and see of I can get them to be more BLONDIE like. Thanks for the recipe!
Hey there! I’m wondering what size can of pumpkin you used as I attempted these with the can of pumpkin I have (29oz) and after 30minutes it’s still pretty much dough in there. I’m thinking that’s where I may have gone wrong?
Hi Christy, I used one “cup” of pumpkin puree -just a portion of the can. Hope this helps…so sorry they didn’t turn out on your first attempt, but they are definitely worth a re-do. Best of luck.

Can you tell me what icing sugar is?
Hi Melinda,
This is a common name for confectioners sugar, or powdered sugar here in Canada. Sorry for the confusion.
Best,
Dannyelle
