If autumn had a signature dessert bar, this would be it. Imagine the cozy nostalgia of pumpkin pie meeting the irresistible chew of a blondie, all anchored by a buttery gluten-free graham cracker crust and laced with toasted pecans and creamy white chocolate chips. These Gluten-Free Pecan Pumpkin Pie Blondies are equal parts comforting and indulgent—a dessert that blurs the line between pie and cookie bar in the best possible way.

This is not your average pumpkin treat. The combination of brown butter, pumpkin spice, white chocolate, and pecans creates layers of flavor that are warm, nutty, and deeply satisfying. Each bite hits you with the chew of a perfectly baked blondie, the crunch of pecans, the silky sweetness of white chocolate, and the crumbly, buttery base that feels just like the best part of a pumpkin pie—only better.

Who loves pumpkin dessert??? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ I LOVE when the Fall season finally comes around and it’s time to feast on pumpkin desserts. This pumpkin lush is the perfect embodiment of Fall - it’s warmly-spiced ginger/cinnamon crust, the tangy cream cheese layer, a luscious pumpkin filling, fluffy whipped topping, and crunchy walnuts make this the ideal autumn dessert. I find that this dessert is a fantastic alternative to traditional pumpkin pie! My family actually prefers it when offered both options - not only is the flavor superior, but the textures are unmatched - it melts in your mouth!

In my opinion, this lush should be replacing pumpkin pie on your Thanksgiving dessert table. If you’re not willing to give up the classic dessert, then make both and see which one gets eaten quicker! I can guarantee that this pumpkin lush will be so greatly enjoyed that you won’t have much left over (if any at all). A good ol’ friendly competition: Classic Pumpkin Pie vs. Pumpkin Lush! Give it a try - you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Everyone will be so impressed not only with the flavors, but with the fancy layering as well. The compliments will be flooding in!
