Fall is here and I love to use cinnamon chips in recipes! These Cinnamon Chip Pumpkin Blondies are perfectly sweet and spiced, an awesome seasonal treat.
Fall has sprung!
It’s chilly, the scarecrows are out, and Halloween candy has hit the shelves. It’s officially fall. And you know what that means? The return of pumpkin!!
While I was home recently, my Mom gave me a bag of cinnamon chips. Though I’ve had a cinnamon chip scone or two from coffee shops, I haven’t baked much with them myself.
I had a recipe for pumpkin chocolate chip bars that I’d been waiting until fall to make. Well who needs chocolate chips when you have cinnamon chips? Pumpkin and cinnamon are a match made in heaven!
These Cinnamon Chip Pumpkin Bars are light and cakey, and filled with cinnamon love. They are perfect as dessert, but also great as a snack or even for breakfast with a cup of coffee!
You’ll want to store these bars in an airtight container. They’re best eaten within a few days, but they freeze really well. Just wrap them individually in plastic wrap before freezing. To defrost, set them on the counter for a couple hours before enjoying.
For the next few months, you’ll be seeing a lot of pumpkin. ‘Tis the season!
