Chocolate Chip Squash Blondies are grain-free, nut-free, dairy-free dessert bars are a great way to get more vegetables into your diet while still enjoying the occasional treat. Feel free to use any variety of winter squash or substitute canned pumpkin puree or mashed sweet potato if that’s what you’ve got on hand. Winter squash are a great source of vitamin A and they’re high in fiber. Lower in carbs than white potatoes, they keep blood sugars stable so you can stay fuller longer. And they pair wonderfully with savory herbs, garlic and onions and sweet spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger so you can use them at just about any meal (and dessert too!).
And did we mention chocolate?
There’s just something about the combination of sweet squash, spicy cinnamon and chocolate that’s totally irresistible so you may want to make a double batch and freeze some for later. (Trust us on this one!) We like to use mini-chips to they stay evenly distributed throughout the batter rather than sinking to the bottom (but who are we kidding, would that really be a deal breaker?!)
