Are these Keto Pumpkin Blondies nut-free?

Yes! Not only are these nut-free but also gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free.

Why are these pumpkin bars darker in colour?

These pumpkin bars are a little darker than my other pumpkin recipes since I used a combination of dark flaxseed meal and cinnamon. You can always lighten the blondies by using a golden flaxseed meal.

Can I use whole flax seeds and whole psyllium husk?

No. But if you have whole flax seeds and psyllium husk, simply place the two in a food processor or coffee grinder and pulse/grind until the seeds turn into more of a flour consistency.

What do these keto pumpkin blondies taste like?

These healthy high fiber low carb blondies do have a somewhat "healthy" taste, thanks to the psyllium, oat and flaxseed meal. I actually like "healthy" tasting desserts but if you do not, you can most likely replace half of the "healthy" flour ingredients with almond flour.

What can I top these keto blondies with?

If you do not want to top these blondies with pumpkin seeds, you could use any type of keto crumb topping or a layer or cream cheese frosting.
