Cooking methods
Preparation steps
Before starting the cooking process, it's essential to take the following preparation steps:
- Measure and gather all the ingredients to have them ready for use.
- Grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet with oil or butter to ensure the blondies won't stick when baked.
- Preheat your oven to 350° F (180° C) to ensure it's at the right temperature for baking.
- If using a baking pan instead of a cast iron skillet, line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to remove the blondies after baking quickly.
- If you're using chocolate chips in large or bar form, chop them into smaller pieces for even distribution in the batter.
- Prepare a cooling rack or a large plate to cool down the blondies after baking.
Cooking instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: Whisk together the almond flour, granulated erythritol, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a large mixing bowl. This will ensure that all the dry ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
- Mix wet ingredients: Mix the melted unsalted butter, pumpkin puree, large egg, and vanilla extract in a separate medium bowl. Stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient mixture, and stir until everything is thoroughly combined. The batter should be smooth and without any lumps.
- Add chocolate chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Transfer to a skillet: Transfer the pumpkin blondie batter into the greased 8-inch cast iron skillet or lined baking pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly across the skillet or pan.
- Bake: Place the skillet or pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Be cautious not to overbake, which can result in a dry texture.
- Cool and slice: Allow the Blondies to cool completely in the skillet or pan before removing them. Once cooled, lift the blondies from the pan using the parchment paper overhang (if using a baking pan), and place them on a cutting board. Slice into even squares and your fluffy pumpkin blondies are ready!
Chef's pro tip
Be mindful of the baking time and temperature for perfectly moist and chewy Pumpkin Blondies. Since every oven behaves differently, it's crucial to start checking the blondies around the 16-minute mark.
If the edges are browning too quickly while the center is still undercooked, you can loosely cover the skillet or pan with aluminum foil. This will help to prevent the edges from overbaking while allowing the center to cook evenly, resulting in a perfectly balanced blondie texture.

Amber McCann says
I just started making these and forgot I am totally out of coconut flour! I added extra almond flour in hopes it will balance out cause I need to have these tonight. Thank you for the great recipe!
Shannon says
I made this tonight and it is delicious!
Lisa Campbell says
Can I made this recipe into muffins?
Alex Lester says
I wouldn't see why not!
Arden says
Just made this recipe. Couldn’t wait for it to cool so I’m having a small piece warm. Oh emm gee!!! DELICIOUS! thank you ??
Jules says
My cast iron pan is larger so I made a double batch how much longer should I let it cook because 20 min and it was still gooey in the middle.
Alex Lester says
Probably about 35 minutes but I don't know for sure since I haven't tested it this way. It will be a bit gooey like normal blondies but they will firm up as they cool.
Susan says
I just made these! They are amazing! I folded in some chopped pecans and used cocoa nibs because I didn't have Lily's chocolate. I cooked it in an 8x8 pan instead of the cast iron skillet. Love love love them!
Alex Lester says
That sounds great!
amanda says
This looked amazing but calls for 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice.... 2 TABLESPOONS??? There has to be a typo here! Can someone clarify!
Alex Lester says
Not a typo, that's correct! We wanted them to be really flavorful.
Suzanne says
How many servings or what is serving size?
Alex Lester says
It's listed at the top of the recipe.
Chris says
I made this in my #6 cast iron skillet and want to know how is the mixture supposed to look after timer goes off? I am just trying to figure out if I should keep cooking it or not.
Dawn says
These never seemed to really firm up and too sweet will have to experiment with less sweetener and see how to make these more firm.
