What’s In The Batter?

The base of these blondies is made from pumpkin purée, gluten-free flours, pasture-raised eggs, and coconut oil for moisture. We also mix in pumpkin spice, maple syrup, and dark chocolate chips to lightly sweeten without refined sugars.

To make these pumpkin spice blondies even better, we sneak in a bit of grass-fed collagen to boost your protein. Because it’s flavorless in taste, you can easily add it into the dough without anyone noticing. Plus, it’s rich in vital nutrients that’ll help benefit your joints, skin, and gut health.

A Quick Note On Pumpkin Purée

Using a store-bought pumpkin purée will save you time on prep, but you’ll need to check the labels to ensure there are no added sugars.

If you want to make your own purée at home (which we highly suggest), it’s easy to do and adds much more depth to the overall taste. All you need to do is place a whole pumpkin into the oven and bake it at 350°F for an hour, or until fork-tender.

When ready, cut the pumpkin in half, remove the seeds, and scoop out the purée!

Helpful Tips For Getting Started:

• Opt for 75% cacao or higher. When shopping for dark chocolate chips, look for a high cacao percentage to ensure you’re getting plenty of heart-healthy antioxidants.
• Save leftovers for later. You can store them in the fridge for up to five days in an airtight container.
