Healthy vegan pumpkin cranberry blondies, made with coconut flour and almond butter! They are vegan, grain-free, oil-free and Paleo.
Today I have a holiday treat recipe that I know you will love to make (and eat). Because I am crazy about pumpkin, I couldn’t help but bring these tender, flavor-packed pumpkin blondies to the table.
Talk about easy to make (always a plus during these busy days!). Only one bowl is required, so cleanup is a breeze, too. And while these treats are naturally Paleo, vegan, grain-free and gluten-free, no one will ever guess. They’ll be too busy reaching for a second serving.
Another fine feature of these tender, gently-spiced sweets is that you can add whatever mix-ins your heart desires. I went with dried cranberries, but I am can imagine these with miniature chocolate chips or some toasted pepitas next time. Yum!
I’ve yet to meet a single person who turns down one of these (especially once they know how healthful they are). You can pack them up in cookie boxes and give them to your family, friends and neighbors – they’ll be over the moon for these,
Happy baking!

How much cramberry? Do you think whole fresh pnes could be used? Thanks
Sounds The ingredients list doesn’t include cranberries; what’s the correct quantity? I plan to try this recipe tomorrow.
Thanks for catching my error, Shelley & Barb! I have added the amount. Barb, I don’t think fresh would work well here; it would add too much moisture and I fear they would fall apart.
