These Keto Pumpkin Blondies are perfectly pumpkin-spiced with a touch of chocolate making them the ultimate low-carb dessert all autumn long!
Happy October 1st, Let’s Celebrate with these Keto Pumpkin Blondies! This recipe has been in the works for the last few weeks baking is not my forte. The savory less precision-based recipes are my comfort zone. You can rest assured though, after a few dud batches (which still went great with a bulletproof coffee) these blondies are perfect for fall. I also refuse to post any recipes containing pumpkin spice before it starts feeling like fall.
Warning! Tangent Ahead: Since I’m writing and posting this on October 1st I wanted to take a minute and just say we are 15 months from 2020!! That seems crazy to think about we are closer to the year 2050 than 1985. I thought we’d have flying cars by now (looking at you Elon Musk) and smellevision. In most cases, the latter would probably be nasty, but in the case of these blondies absolutely delightful. Doc Brown and Marty made the future look so cool, but I have yet to visit the ER following a hover-board incident…yet
Will any oven-safe baking dish work?
As always this recipe was baked in a cast-iron skillet. That doesn’t mean you have to bake it that way though. I used an 8-inch skillet so any similar-sized oven-safe piece of cookware will work. You may have to increase the time since cast iron is a rock star in terms of thermal conductivity. Plus, check out this article from Kitchn on why you should be baking with cast iron.
As I alluded to before these keto pumpkin blondies are great with coffee. They are also great for keto newbies or as a post-workout snack because pumpkin is loaded with potassium. Gram for gram pumpkin has more potassium than bananas! Potassium is a major player in balancing your body’s electrolytes. So go ahead and whip up a batch for yourself, or be the hit of the Halloween party with a platter of these bad boys!

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!
I made this tonight and it is delicious!
Can I made this recipe into muffins?
I wouldn’t see why not!
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 ??
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.
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.
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 8×8 pan instead of the cast iron skillet. Love love love them!
That sounds great!
This looked amazing but calls for 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice…. 2 TABLESPOONS??? There has to be a typo here! Can someone clarify!
Not a typo, that’s correct! We wanted them to be really flavorful.
How many servings or what is serving size?
It’s listed at the top of the recipe.
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.
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.
