What You Will Need For This Recipe

FAQ’s
Why are my blondies dry?
Well overbaking them does make them dry. I typically take these out at the 25-26 minute mark, they are still a little jiggly in middle. Remember they continue to bake as they cool so if you want that fudgy texture take them out earlier.
How do I store them?
These keep fresh on the counter in airtight container for 2 days or in the fridge for 5 days. You can also slice them and freeze them for up to 2 months in airtight container or zip lock.
Do I have to add Nutella?
Not at all you can omit the Nutella entirely and it’s just an awesome Pumpkin Spice Blondie or you can add chocolate chips or even white chocolate chips if you prefer.
What’s in Pumpkin Spice?
It does vary by brand but it usually consists of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. To make your own combine 1 tbsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp each of nutmeg, ginger and cloves.
