I’ll never stop liking pumpkin spice! As soon as the air starts to chill here in Boston, I just can’t wait to get baking with it. It makes the house smell amazing, and of course, it’s such a versatile warm blend of spices. And it’s just perfect in these autumn-inspired blondies! These gluten-free Pumpkin Spice Blondies are dense, studded with white chocolate and pecans and of course the best fall flavor: pumpkin. Not only are they so delicious and soft in the middle, but they’re simple to make.

All you need is a bowl, a whisk and a spatula to get these going. So what are you waiting for?

Ingredients Needed

Here is an overview of the ingredient list. Keep scrolling for the full recipe.

Substitutions

Flours: We haven’t tried this with any other flours. If you do experiment, let us know how it goes!

Coconut Sugar: This can likely be swapped with maple sugar, or even brown sugar, but we don’t recommend swapping it with honey or maple syrup.

Eggs: We haven’t tried this with an egg substitute.

Coconut Oil: You can use equal parts room temperature melted butter or neutral oil.

White Chocolate Chips: Want to ensure this is dairy-free? Make sure to buy dairy-free white chocolate chips. Or you can omit them, or add in regular or dairy-free chocolate chips.

Making Pumpkin Puree

You can make or buy the pumpkin puree for this recipe. We have a whole post all about How to Roast a Pumpkin to make pumpkin puree you can check out.

Tools We Used

Here are the recommended tools needed to bake these blondies!

How to Make Them

I love how easy this recipe is! Anytime you only need 1 bowl, a few ingredients and about 30 minutes to get a sweet treat on the table, it is a winning recipe to me. To make this recipe:

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare a baking pan! We recommend putting in a parchment sling for easy removal.
  2. Mix together the wet
  3. Add in the dry
  4. Fold in white chocolate chips and pecans (and add a little extra on top before baking too)
  5. Transfer to the baking dish, and bake!

A Note About the Batter

This batter is quite thick! So don’t get concerned that something went wrong. Make sure to mix it together well so all of the flour is fully hydrated.

To get it into the pan, you can use a spatula or even your greased hands to make it as even and smooth as possible.

Storing Gluten-Free Blondies


As with any blondie recipe, these are pretty awesome on the day they are made. But these get even better on day 2 and 3. You can store these at room temperature for up to 3 days, or you can store these in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or the freezer for up to 6 months. Our family loves eating these cold, straight from the freezer, but you can also let it sit at room temperature to warm up for about 20 minutes.

    These were super easy to make but lacked flavor. Needed to have more of a sweetness or something. Maybe sub chocolate chips instead?

  2. 4 stars
    These were yummy, but the pumpkin flavor didn’t come through as strong. Still a yummy dessert & great texture!

  3. 3 stars
    These weren’t our favorite. I loved the ease/single bowl recipe, but we all wanted more flavor in the final product.

  4. 5 stars
    Absolutely fantastic and super easy to make. Whipped these up while carrying my newborn since she can’t be without me right now. So I’m happy to report these are very easy to make and my family absolutely loved them for dessert tonight. Loved that everything is made in one bowl so cleanup is also simple.

    It’s true…this recipe proves it…Gluten Free, Dairy Free and DELICIOUS can all exist together. I substituted dairy free mini dark chocolate chips in place of the white chocolate and it was still amazing! My family gobbled all these up in just one day. Im pretty certain these will make a regular appearance in our house this Fall.
