It’s that time of year again…..pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin everything! These Pumpkin Blondies are hands down my favorite pumpkin dessert!
Now if you look at the ingredients you see there is not a large amount of pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon in these. Feel free to add more, but the brown sugar frosting gives these an amazing flavor and if you add too much spice it will overpower the frosting.
Make these and get a big jug of apple cider and your all set for fall!
