Pumpkin Blondies

To spice it up you can add ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, and ⅛ ground cloves.

Pumpkin seed butter, cashew butter, or peanut butter can be used to sub for almond butter, but they will change the flavor a bit.

Some have noted that their batter is runny. You can start with ¼ cup of pumpkin puree and if the batter is too thick add a bit more, but no more than the ½ cup that the recipe calls for. Another option is to add some coconut flour to the batter to thicken it (see comments).
