When it comes to pumpkin, we're as basic as it gets. But, to be perfectly honest, with the exception of pumpkin bread, we kinda hate baking with it. The flavor is bomb, obviously, but the texture always gets screwed up! Just a little bit of pumpkin can make cookies and blondies wayyyy cakey. And we want blondies dense and fudgy. Rest assured, this recipe went through A TON of testing until the bars' consistency were as close as possible.
