Pumpkin Spice Blondies

All the cozy flavors of fall baked into one delicious (and secretly better-for-you) treat!

These Pumpkin Spice Blondies are not just nutritious and delicious but they're moist, soft, with just a hint of sweet — made with real pumpkin, warm spices, and simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.

They’re perfect with your morning coffee, a post-dinner treat, or to share at your next fall gathering. 🍁

💡 Coach Mindy’s Tip: The right pan makes all the difference! That's why I love this 2-pack Pyrex baking dish set. One size is perfect for your favorite 'treats' like these tasty blondies, the other is just the right size for casseroles and baked pasta dishes. They bake evenly, and clean up in seconds and are a must-have for every midlife kitchen!

Ingredients

• 1, 15oz. can white beans (or garbanzo beans)

• 1/2 C pumpkin puree

• 1/3 C honey

• 1/3 C oats (can use gluten free)

• 3/4 tsp baking powder

• 1/8 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

• 2 tsp vanilla

• 1/4 C natural creamy peanut butter (or nut butter sub)

• 1/2 C chocolate chips (or carob chips)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Place all ingredients except chocolate chips in a food processor or processing blender (I use my Vitamix).

3. Pulse on medium to medium high for 2-3 minutes until creamy and smooth, stirring as needed.

4. Scoop into a medium size mixing bowl and fold in chocolate chips.

5. Pour batter into a lightly coated 8x8 baking dish (coat with olive, coconut or other oil).

6. Bake for 20-30min. (until lightly golden brown and toothpick test shows it can easily be removed from the center)

7. Cool approximately 10 min. before cutting into squares

Eat and Enjoy!
