I’m gonna admit, this feels weird.

PUMPKIN?!

But over the last year I feel like I’ve done a better job of accepting the fact that for me, now, holidays start at least a month in advance. Thanksgiving and Christmas?? 2+ months in advance!

But let’s be real, Canadian Thanksgiving is just over a month away, so I’m going to call this perfect holiday planning timing.

American friends, you can just continue thinking that I am really, impressively, on the ball.

It also feels weird because, well, I mostly bake pumpkin treats for the hubs. If I had to pick between pumpkin and apple?? Apple wins every time.

So I went a little milder on the pumpkin in this recipe, and mixed in some great coffee, cinnamon and brown sugar flavors to balance things out. I totally loved them! They are such a great fall treat!

I wanted to go with a variation of the frosting from these Brown Sugar Pecan Cookies that were SUCH a big hit, because it is just fantastic. I also love having a frosting that sets up nice and firm, so that you can stack them and transport them easily. Perfect for holiday potlucks!

So I want to know: if you guys have to choose between apple and pumpkin in the fall, which one are you going for?

    Oh wow, that coffee spice glaze sounds incredible! I’m not sure if I like pumpkin or apple better. I feel like apple is more acceptable throughout the whole year, so when fall comes around I just need to EAT ALL THE PUMPKIN! 😛

  2. Sandra Kuehn says

    I have tried a few of recipes and love them I agree with you I would choose Apples over pumpkins but these could change my mind .

  3. Rachel @the dessert chronicles says

    I love the ideas of these blondies! Pumpkin spice lattes are the best part of Fall. Can’t wait to give these a try!

  4. Medha @ Whisk & Shout says

    These are such perfect little squares of pumpkin goodness! My experience with baking with pumpkin is kinda the opposite- I love it and my family HATES it, so I just end up eating everything I bake. Not the biggest of issues 🙂 Pinning!
