The Ultimate Pumpkin Recipe Roundup

September 7, 2021 by Alex Daynes

PUMPKIN! I love when fall rolls around for many reasons but I mostly get excited to be able to use pumpkin in my kitchen again! I am a pumpkin lover through and through and I hope you are too! Anything with pumpkin added to it is better and these recipes are no exception! Today I’m sharing the ultimate pumpkin recipe roundup, and I mean ultimate! I’ve got everything from breakfast to dessert and all the courses in between. Be sure to scroll all the way to the end for some bonus recipes. 20+ pumpkin recipes! The hardest part is going to be deciding which pumpkin recipe to make first! They are all delicious, let’s get to it!

Pin this Round Up to Pinterest to save it for later!!

Fall Baking= Pumpkin Recipes!

Each year on my Instagram, I host a week of Pumpkin Palooza. It’s one week of recipes that ALL use pumpkin!! It’s seriously so fun! This year’s pumpkin palooza will kick off on Sunday, October 3rd!

Anytime you see pumpkin puree in the store, grab it!! It runs out so quickly and you want to make sure that you have enough on hand to try any of these recipes!

Be sure to grab pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling! Those are two different things and they are not used interchangeably.

You can also make your own pureed pumpkin out of small pumpkins by cooking it if you need to. The Pioneer Women can help you with that process!

Something else that may be handy to keep on hand the next few months is pumpkin pie spice! It’s a seasoning blend of pumpkin pie flavors like cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

I usually buy mine at Trader Joe’s, but you can also find it at lots of other stores too in the seasoning aisle.

Breakfast Pumpkin Recipes

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Brown Butter Glaze!!

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Brown Butter Glaze, say that 5 times fast!

This recipe screams fall! A soft, light cinnamon roll base made with active yeast, seasoned with pumpkin pie seasoning, filled with a cinnamon-spiced filling, and then finished off with the most incredible brown butter glaze!

You are in for a treat with this one! Seriously, these are so yummy!

Pumpkin Pancakes with Sticky Caramel Syrup!!

The most delicious Pumpkin Pancakes with Sticky Caramel Syrup! Seriously, it doesn’t get any better than this! These pumpkin cakes are flavorful, fluffy, and a crowd favorite.

We take them to the next level by topping them with a homemade sticky caramel syrup that tastes oh so sweet.

It’s the perfect Fall breakfast!

Pumpkin Granola

This pumpkin granola has all the flavors of fall! It’s totally delicious and easy to make at home. You only need a handful of ingredients including old-fashioned oats, pumpkin seeds, canned pumpkin, cashews, and a pumpkin pie seasoning blend. 

Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins

Phenomenal pumpkin zucchini muffins made with pure pumpkin, delicious pumpkin spices, chocolate chips, and made extra moist with zucchini. These muffins are also topped with a homemade streusel topping that makes these extra tasty.

Healthy Pumpkin Muffins!!

Pumpkin is such a versatile ingredient! It’s also naturally sweet, so it works very well in healthy recipes.

That’s why I created these Healthy Pumpkin Muffins.

Naturally sweetened, low calorie, topped with a delicious maple oat crumble. This recipe is a keeper!

Pumpkin Meals & Snacks

Pumpkin Chili!!

This Pumpkin Chili Recipe is filled with flavor, texture, and pumpkin. This simple dinner combines easy canned ingredients with seasonal spices! Thanks to the Instant Pot, this dish is a one-pot wonder that will leave you feeling full and warm you up during colder months to come.

Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats

These pumpkin rice Krispie treats take the classic rice Krispies to the next level! We are jazzing up the regular old rice Krispies treats with the delicious flavor of pumpkin. They will please all of your fall pumpkin cravings! The cinnamon chip glaze tops it all off! Your family is in for a treat with this one!

Pumpkin Alfredo

This Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce is so creamy and wonderful, and perfectly flavored pumpkin. It’s made with only 7 ingredients and it’s one your family is sure to love! Pumpkin Alfredo is such a fun dinner idea for the month of October.

Pumpkin Mashed Potatoes

Whether you have a leftover canned pumpkin to use or are looking for an easy side dish, these Cheddar Pumpkin Mashed Potatoes with rosemary are total comfort food. Regular mashed potatoes taste wonderful and comforting on their own with butter and cream, but they are a blank canvas for introducing other flavors.

Spiced Pumpkin Mac & Cheese!!

This year, I am taking Mac & Cheese to the next level! I am making a Spiced Pumpkin Mac & Cheese.

This recipe is flavorful, fun, and perfect for fall!

Spiced just means that this recipe has a lot of flavors, such as pumpkin and nutmeg, and many other seasonings. It’s so good!

Trust me on this one! You’ll want to try this recipe out this Fall!

Savory Pumpkin Hummus!!

Savory Pumpkin Hummus is perfect for serving at your Halloween or game day parties this Fall.

The sweetness of pumpkin is an amazing addition to the traditional savory hummus!

Delicious served with veggies and pita chips!

Pumpkin Energy Bites!!

If you are a fan of Pumpkin Chocolate Chip, you will love these new Pumpkin Energy Bites!

They are the perfect healthy treat for fall!

Made with canned pumpkin, oats, chocolate chips, and pumpkin seeds! This recipe screams October! 

Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts!!

These Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts are the perfect fall treat!

Soft, chewy baked pumpkin donuts, rolled in a cinnamon pumpkin spice mix.

They are so yummy and great this time of year!

I love making donuts because they are so easy and they turn out so cute each time!

Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes!

These donut holes are so yummy because they are moist, bite-sized, and coated with a delicious sugary coating!

They are so fun to bring to parties and events because people can just pop them!

I also love this recipe because it is made with a cake mix, making it easy to gather all the ingredients!

Pumpkin Cookies!!!

Classic Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies!!

I love fall! I love it for many reasons, but one of the big reasons is that I get to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies again!

These are my favorite cookies, but I only like them when they are homemade.

I love how caky and delicious these cookies are! They just seem to get better and better the longer you store them!

Chewy Cinnamon Chip Pumpkin Cookies!

These are the best pumpkin cookies ever! Want to know why?

Because rather than being fluffy and cake-like, these cook up to taste like actual cookies.

They are the perfect Chewy Cinnamon Chip Pumpkin Cookies!

The real treat is the cinnamon chips! As you can probably tell, I am very excited about this cookie recipe!

Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles!!

A Halloween favorite dessert is these yummy Pumpkin Spice Snicker Doodles!

If you love cinnamon sugar and pumpkin, this dessert is for you! A fun twist on the traditional snickerdoodle!

We love the bright orange, fall color these cookies turn out to be! So fun and bite-sized, they are a great treat to take to your party!

Other Pumpkin Desserts!!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars!

When that craving for a pumpkin dessert hits, it doesn’t get much easier – or more delicious, than these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars!

These bars are the essence of a cake-like pumpkin chocolate chip cookie, in bar form!

That is what you can expect when you make this recipe.

These pumpkin bars are moist and flavorful and the perfect fall treat! Pair these with a mug of hot cocoa and you are in for a real fantastic treat! 

Pumpkin Spice Cake!!

A simply delicious pumpkin spice cake topped with cream cheese glaze!

The pumpkin cake layer is moist and soft and very flavorful thanks to the array of spices!

I then top it with a homemade cream cheese glaze that I just love! This is a recipe you are going to love!

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars!!

These Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars are NO JOKE!

They are made with a thick graham cracker crust, a layer of yummy cheesecake, and topped with a flavorful layer of pumpkin pie.

This dessert is decadent and delicious! It’s the perfect Fall dessert.

Pumpkin Sheet Cake!

The best thing about sheet cakes is that they are easy to make and even easier to frost!

This Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is all sorts of delicious!

The pumpkin cake is moist and fluffy, and the cream cheese layer compliments it beautifully.

Caramel Pumpkin Pie Shake!!

The over-the-top Caramel Pumpkin Pie Shake you didn’t know you needed, until now! This freak shake has all sorts of fun caramel & pumpkin ingredients, all wrapped into one delicious shake!

It really captures all of the flavors of Thanksgiving! This Caramel Pumpkin Pie Shake is made with vanilla ice cream, milk, Torani Puremade Pumpkin Spice Syrup, and an actual pumpkin pie!

It is then topped with melted caramel, crushed graham cracker, caramel corn, whipping cream, and marshmallows.

Tonight was a full circle night for me! I met Karalynne roughly 6-7 years ago at Pinners Conference and she was so genuine and kind. She listened to me and my struggles with eczema and talked through everything I’ve tried. She recommended that I should heal my skin from the inside out using probiotics & improving my gut health. I thanked her for her insight and told her she needed to share her message and products (which were only chapstick at the time) with more people!! 

Fast forward today, she totally cured my eczema & she has a thriving, successful brand & business!! It has been an honor to watch her create products that change lives and encourage everyone to eat cleaner & be more mindful. She is a powerhouse for good and I’m proud to call her a friend🤍 

Today, her incredible new Cozy Collection launched nationwide at Target, and online! And let me tell you, it’s incredible.
