The perfect blondie for fall
Get ready for pumpkin overload. My next several posts will be devoted to this lovely squash. I already shared Pumpkin Scones, but have so many recipes I can’t wait for you to see and try.
First up: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies. I created this great blondie base that is super adaptable. (You will be seeing several versions of blondies based on these.) It is rich and flavorful, the perfect treat.
The blondie’s base is filled with silken tofu, but don’t let that scare you. The tofu is flavorless and simply helps bind together the perfect blondie. You will use 6 ounces which is about half a traditional package of tofu.
Mixed with the tofu is a beautiful combination of sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin and oil. These all meld together to create a beautiful blondie.
Although I used chocolate chips, you could leave them out or add another mix in. What do you think you would do?

These look great! I’ve never used tufu in baked goods before, but am willing to give it a try 🙂

You won’t be disappointed, Laura! It’s perfect in blondies, cakes and macaroons.

Megan, I think tofu is a great idea- adds some nutrition and protein to already awesome blondies! I love that you will be sharing more blondies recipes! Thanks!

I am intrigued by the tofu! I really should try that; I bet it makes these so much healthier!
The Emotional Baker says
Thank you for visiting, Dorothy. The tofu is a great egg replacer if you’re looking to cut some calories. It’s best when used in blondies and cakes.

Don’t these look yummy. I love just about anything pumpkin and with chocolate chips you just can’t go wrong. Great recipe!
The Emotional Baker says
Vicki, I agree with you! Pumpkin and chocolate chips is the perfect combo.

I am a huge fan of blondies and I love the idea of adding a bit of pumpkin! And a butter free recipe won’t make me feel as guilty when I sample spoonfuls of the dough 🙂
The Emotional Baker says
Liz, these blondies are great. You won’t miss the butter one bit.

I love blondies. They are so underated so I’m glad you’re highlighting them. Of course they’re perfect this time of year with the added pumpkin. 😉 Love! I never thought to add tofu…cool idea.
The Emotional Baker says
Thanks Tina! Blondies are great because they’re so versatile.
