These paleo pumpkin blondies are insanely delicious and the perfect balance of chewy and cakey. Super dense, moist, and loaded with chocolate chips, it’s a pumpkin and chocolate match made in heavy.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and by that I mean pumpkin spice season! While I’m team pumpkin spice in just about everything, my favorite combination in the fall is pumpkin and chocolate. Which is why I absolutely love these paleo pumpkin blondies!
I’m personally of the belief that there is nothing better than brownies and blondies for dessert, so I’m sort of a stickler when it comes to that perfectly chewy and dense texture. Even though these paleo pumpkin blondies are made with coconut and almond flour, they are so wonderfully chewy!
These pumpkin blondies are not only grain-free, dairy-free, and paleo, they’re also incredibly moist and dense, which is what sets these blondies apart from the rest. And because they’re loaded with chocolate chips, they are rich and wonderfully ooey-gooey. Pumpkin blondies can be eaten alone as scrumptious fall treat, or you can top it with coconut milk ice cream and serve it on Thanksgiving!

Tips and Tricks for My Paleo Pumpkin Blondies
- An 8 x 8 baking pan will make fairly thick pumpkin blondies. You can also use a 9 x 13 pan.
- For a smooth texture, whisking the dry ingredients together for 1-2 minutes.
- For the almond butter, a no-stir smooth variety works best. If your almond butter isn’t mixed well and ends up being too oily, the blondies will be too wet.
- Smooth out the batter in the pan before placing it in the oven. I like to add a few extra chocolate chips on top (press them in slightly) before placing the pan in the oven. #instaworthy

I thought these were really tasty and very easy to make! My only issue is that they didn’t dry out when cooking. They were cooked through and I ended up baking them for 45 minutes and they were still kind of wet. I had to cut and dry them out individually. I might have mis-measured something but I thought I made the recipe as written. Anyway, delicious flavor!

Hi Jess! Glad you liked them! Sometimes slight variances can happy with different coconut flour brands and/or ovens. With that said, these are definitely meant to be a little more dense/less cakey. Next time, you can try to add a little more coconut flour if you want them slightly dryer. You can also try putting them in a larger 9 x 13 pan.

Delicious! The texture was perfect! I have an almond allergy so I subbed walnut flour and peanut butter and it still came out amazing!
