Author Notes

I love blondies and decided to just play one day with different combinations. The pumpkin butter in these just adds a sweetness that you can't tell what it is, but if you want a more pumpkin presence, I'd add pumpkin puree instead. —Jacquie Chamberlain

Sorry for not responding to your comments earlier. I can't make up any excuse other than I hadn't been on site signed in in a while and didn't expect the response. I hope you liked these!

I made these, and they are very tasty. My pumpkin butter is very sweet, so next time I'll cut some of the sugar out. Also, I think I'll add pecans. Thanks for the nice twist on the blondie.

Good idea! I used to hate nuts in desserts but in the recent months, I love them.

I LOVE blondies!!!! And I love pumpkin! So I've GOT to make these asap! Is pumpkin butter something I'll find at most grocery stores?

It should be, but if not, maybe you could swap it for some pureed pumpkin and add a little more sugar? I'm not sure but it could be a fun experiment!
