When it comes to bars these Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Blondies are the way to go! Pantry staple ingredients, incredible flavor and super easy.

Have you noticed how much I love desserts? I think you already know that, I try to keep a good balance between sweet and savory on my site, but I just can’t hold back on the sweets!

Especially when it comes to fall, I love all the pumpkin desserts! Bars, cakes, pies, cheesecake you name it I’m all there for it.

These Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Blondies are one recipe we are super obsessed with, chocolate and pumpkin go really well together so we had to add the chocolate chips in these.

They are soft and moist with the gooey melted chocolate, they are simply irresistible and you will quickly find that out because once you try them, there is no turning back.

These are one of our most made pumpkin recipes that we have on our site, our kids love them so much and I kinda love them maybe just a little bit more.

They are everything that a blondie recipe should be slightly cakey yet chewy, flavorful, moist and full of flavor, and it happens to be pumpkin in these ones!

Some of our other favorite pumpkin recipes we have on our site include: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, Pumpkin Bread Pudding and Pumpkin Donuts!

Chocolate chips

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP PUMPKIN BLONDIES, STEP BY STEP:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 with foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray, set aside. In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt, set aside.
In the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment cream together the dark brown sugar, butter, and granulated sugar until smooth, 2 minutes.
Add the egg and beat until combined.
Add the pumpkin and vanilla, beat until smooth.
Next, add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined with no dry patches.
Add in the chocolate chips.
Fold into blondie batter..
Press the dough into the prepared baking dish. I find it easier to spread with slightly moistened hands.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely, cut, and serve.

I’M NOT A FAN OF PUMPKIN AND CHOCOLATE, WHAT ELSE CAN I USE?

While we love this combo, we realize that other people may not! So some other mix in ideas include chopped pecans, chopped walnuts, caramel bits, cinnamon chips, butterscotch chips, toffee bits, etc.

Whatever you love that goes well with pumpkin would be a great addition to this recipe! You can even serve them just plain as is or even with a simple icing for a light flavor.

ARE THESE CAKEY OR FUDGY?

These land smack dab in the middle of those two, so you will have slight cakey texture but it is moist so you will also have a nice chewy texture.

So this can satisfy those of you who prefer one over the other, or don’t care. The texture in my opinion is perfect and is what a blondie should really be like.

CAN THIS BE CUT IN HALF?

If you are craving these Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Blondies but don’t need a large pan, you can absolutely cut the recipe in half and bake in either a 8″ or 9″ baking dish depending on how thick you wan’t them.

HOW TO STORE:

If you have any leftovers store them in an airtight container or ziptop bag at room temperature where they will keep for up to 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for about 1 week.

These can also be frozen, to do this make sure that your Pumpkin Blondies have cooled completely. We like to cut them and individually wrap in saran wrap and place in a freeze bag. These will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

To defrost, place on countertop room temperature until thawed. Serve and enjoy!

TIPS AND TRICKS:

If you wan’t a lighter flavor or simply do not have dark brown sugar, you can use light brown, they taste just as good!
You an use any of your favorite chocolate chips, semi-sweet, milk, dark and even white.
If you don’t like pumpkin and chocolate together see my tips above on what else you can add in!
These can be frozen, see my tips above on how to do that.
Make sure you are using pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
