15 of Our Very Best Pumpkin Recipes
Cyd Converse
As much as I love summer, I get incredibly excited for fall as soon as pumpkin spice latte season is upon us each year. I love the change of seasons!
What some people may consider "basic" I consider downright exciting whether it be visiting the pumpkin patch or buying that pumpkin coffee.
One of my favorite recipes from when I first started baking is a chocolate chip pumpkin muffin recipe that I've made for years with rave reviews every time.
If you, like me, are stocking up on the pumpkins and pumpkin puree, these are some of our very best pumpkin recipes perfect for fall and all year long.
1. Creamy Pumpkin Pasta Sauce Recipe
Sweet but not *too* sweet, pumpkin pasta sauce is a favorite in our home because it mixes up a classic comfort food without being too crazy. Red sauce, while delicious, can be acidic and upset stomachs, plus it just gets a little tired after a while. This flavorful, creamy pumpkin sauce is mild, has a great texture, and tastes incredible with spaghetti squash and a sprinkle of cheese.
2. Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies Recipe
These pumpkin cheesecake brownies make the perfect fall treat, and I will neither confirm nor deny if I have already made a few batches this year. Perhaps the most perfect fall dessert, these chewy, fudgy brownies boast creamy pumpkin cheesecake swirls making for one seriously epic brownie recipe. Do yourself a favor and make a double batch.
3. Gluten Free Nutella Swirl Pumpkin Muffins Recipe
Another of our best pumpkin recipes perfect for the gluten free crowd, these gluten free Nutella swirl pumpkin muffins are out of this world.

5. Pumpkin Banana Streusel Muffins Recipe
I am an OG fan of any kind of muffin, but pumpkin muffins are a particular favorite. These pumpkin banana muffins are a real treat! They're moist and flavorful, topped with a delicious streusel of brown sugar, butter, oats and pecans before being drizzled with a simple glaze. These muffins could easily be your favorite part of your next brunch or served for dessert.

This pumpkin chia seed pudding is a healthy combination of Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, almond milk, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, and chia seeds.
