Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies

by

These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies are definitely the solution to any lazy Sunday if you ask me.  Not to mention they are heaven on earth.

I mean, would you just look at that melty goodness?  If only you could grab one through the screen and take a big ole bite….

The good news is they are super quick and easy to prepare, i’m talkin’ only 5-7 minutes of prep time required before popping those deliciously moist chocolatey pumpkin squares into the oven.

I’m currently hanging out at my sister’s with our family watching football and munching on delicious treats, and these blonde babes are definitely #1 in the food lineup if you ask me.  If you’re really lucky, you might happen to have a can of pumpkin puree layin around so you can hop up off the couch and make these things right this second. Let’s embrace every moment of this Lazy Sunday.

Maple Oat Pumpkin Pie Bars

by

Do you ever skip breakfast because you don’t have anything to grab on your way out the door? I know I do, and by mid-morning i’m so so so hangry.  That’s where these Maple Oat Pumpkin Pie Bars come in MAJORLY handy. I should also mention they are super delicious and perfect for Fall.


THIS POST CONTAINS AN AFFILIATE LINK FOR MY VITAMIX BLENDER THAT I SO MUCH ADORE

The base and top layer (“crust”) is a combination of oats, coconut oil, almond butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, baking soda, vanilla, and salt.  To make the crust, combine all ingredients in your Blender, and pulse it out until oats are roughly broken up and mixture is well combined.  The filling is a simple mixture of pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Lastly, baked to golden perfection & topped with melted dark chocolate chips.  All of the flavors of pumpkin pie, but healthier and much more convenient. Adult and kid friendly, too!

They are best if stored in the fridge to help keep their shape, but all you have to do is reach in and grab one, and you’ll be quickly on your way. Oh, Happy Happy Fall.
