three days into september & i am already busting out the pumpkin recipes! i haven't had a pumpkin spice latte yet though, i am still on the ice coffee train. one of my instagram followers left a comment yesterday that i was the first pumpkin recipe to come up on their feed this year, that made me a little too proud. anyways, todays recipe isn't something you often see, a pumpkin blondie! i wanted to create a simple one bowl recipe that incorporated all the pumpkin pie spices we love. this recipe features farmer's market foods organic pumpkin puree & it is honestly the best canned pumpkin puree you will ever come across. the colour of the pumpkin is as vibrant as freshly steamed pumpkin & makes for the most gorgeous coloured pumpkin desserts. i keep a few jars of this in my pantry all year long because i am a fall enthusiast so you never know when that pumpkin craving will strike! pumpkin bread in june? yes please.
