    These Healthy Gluten-Free Pumpkin Blondies use oat flour and cashew butter to create a delicious, chewy blondie that is unbelievably eggless!

    I love baking with oat flour! The flavor and texture are perfect and its a simple way to make gluten-free baked goods without needing to purchase 10 types of flour. I love to make Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Muffins, or Vegan Peanut Butter Blondies. And today, were making another blondie!

    These pumpkin blondies are full of healthy ingredients but taste so decadent.

    These Gluten Free Pumpkin Blondies are so delicious and chewy. They are well-spiced and don't require any specialty gluten-free flour to make! Just rolled oats. While these blondies are healthy, they taste decadent and are one of my favorite pumpkin desserts.

    Ingredients

    Homemade Oat Flour: Its important to use homemade oat flour here. I'll get into why below.

    Cashew Butter: I used homemade cashew butter for these blondies, but you can use store-bought cashew butter or even almond or sunflower seed butter, too!

    Canned Pumpkin: Always be sure to use 100% purée in all pumpkin recipes from Vegan Pumpkin Pancakes to Vegan Pumpkin Scones. The pumpkin acts as an egg replacer in this eggless blondies recipe.

    Non-Dairy Milk: I used oat milk but any non-dairy milk will work.

    Vanilla: For background flavor.

    Pumpkin Pie Spice: If you don't buy pumpkin pie spice, I'll tell you how to make your own.

    Chocolate Chips: Any chocolate chips you prefer will be great, here. I love Enjoy Life Brand.

    Method

    These Healthy Gluten Free Pumpkin Blondies are SO easy to make. Here is how to do it:

    First, combine the cashew butter and brown sugar in a large bowl using a spatula.

    Then, add the pumpkin puree, non-dairy milk and vanilla and mix well.

    Next, add homemade oat flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt and mix until combined.

    Now, fold in a cup of chocolate chips and scrape the batter into a prepared 8x8 inch square pan and spread the batter into the corners.

    Finally, top with some more chocolate and bake!

    My Favorite Canned Pumpkin

    My favorite brands are:

    Libbys

    Farmers Market

    They are both great and easy to find.

    Top Recipe Tip

    It is important to use homemade oat flour for this recipe.

    Store-bought oat flour is really finely milled and will absorb liquid differently than homemade oat flour.

    So if you use store-bought oat flour, these Gluten Free Pumpkin Blondies might be dry.

    Homemade Oat Flour

    Oat flour is my favorite gluten-free flour because you don't need to blend it with anything.

    To make your own oat flour, simply process rolled oats in a food processor or blender until they are finely ground. Thats it!

    I've made oat flour in both my Kitchen Aid food processor and my Vitamix blender. Both do the job nicely.

    Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix

    If you purchase pumpkin pie spice, use it here!

    If not, here is how to make your own:

    Mix together 1 teaspoon each of cinnamon and ginger, and ¼ teaspoon each of nutmeg and allspice.

    My Favorite Square Baking Pan

    My favorite 8-inch square pan is this one by USA pans.

    It is sturdy and bakes really evenly and I love that it has sharp corners.

    Storage

    To store these eggless Gluten-Free Pumpkin Blondies, first, allow them to cool completely.

    Then, slice the blondies and transfer them to an airtight container.

    Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    Or freeze for up to a month.

    No one will ever know they are gluten-free, vegan and pretty healthy, too!

      I love this recipe! I've been trying to avoid gluten as much as possible, but keeping gluten-free flours on hand never works out. I always end up throwing away most of it before I can use it all. I do however always have oats, so I was so glad to see this recipe made with processed oats. The pumpkin flavor was spot-on, and the spice mixture was really good. I did add a little extra nutmeg because I always think a little extra nutmeg is the way to go. Anyway, I'll be adding these to the fall and winter treat rotation. Thanks for such an amazing recipe.
