Gluten-Free Pumpkin Blondies

I love a recipe that proves you don't have to compromise on flavor just because it's gluten-free. These Gluten-Free Pumpkin Blondies are every bit as soft, chewy, and cozy as a traditional blondie, with warm pumpkin spices and pockets of creamy white chocolate throughout.


Fall baking has a way of making everything feel a little cozier, and these blondies are one of those recipes I find myself coming back to year after year. They're easy to make, filled with classic pumpkin spice flavor, and perfect for sharing, whether everyone at the table eats gluten-free or not. (Don't be surprised if no one realizes they're gluten-free until you tell them!)

What Makes These Blondies So Good?

The combination of pumpkin puree and brown sugar creates an incredibly soft, moist blondie, while the pumpkin pie spice fills every bite with those classic fall flavors we all look forward to each year.

Using a quality gluten-free flour blend helps these blondies bake up just like a traditional recipe, and the chunks of white chocolate melt into the batter for little pockets of creamy sweetness. It's one of those desserts that's so delicious, most people won't even realize it's gluten-free.



Tips for Perfect Blondies


Use a Good Gluten-Free Flour Blend

A 1:1 gluten-free baking flour works best for this recipe. I use Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour or King Arthur 1:1 Flour , which helps gives the blondies a soft, chewy texture.

Don't Overmix

Once the flour is added, gently fold the batter until everything is just combined. This helps keep the blondies tender.


Use Pumpkin Purée, Not Pumpkin Pie Filling

They're easy to confuse, but pumpkin pie filling contains added sugar and spices that will change the flavor and texture of the blondies.


Let Them Cool Completely

These blondies continue to set as they cool, making them easier to slice into clean squares.


Storage

Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

You can also freeze individual bars in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Simply thaw at room temperature before serving.
