Paleo Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies
These Paleo Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies are super chewy, fudgy, and so easy to make! Gluten free, dairy free, and naturally sweetened.
Pumpkin and chocolate are such a great match and these bars are a great example. Each bite is packed with pumpkin spice and chocolate chips- so delicious!
In case you’re not familiar, blondies are a lot like brownies, just without the cocoa. So they have that same texture that everyone loves. Dense, soft, melt-in-your-mouth. One thing I never use in my brownies or blondies is baking soda and that’s because I don’t want them to rise and be cakey. The fudgier the better!
I hope you try these and enjoy them! Warm them up to make the chocolate gooey and even better!
