15 Best Pumpkin Recipes

ByVicky Hadley

Pumpkin season is here, and I have gathered 15 of my best pumpkin recipes all in one place. From pumpkin muffins and breads to pumpkin cookies, pies, and breakfast favorites, this collection makes it easy to enjoy pumpkin all season long.

Pumpkin purée is one of the simplest ingredients to bake with. It blends right into batters, keeps baked goods moist, and brings that warm flavor we all love. You can use canned pumpkin for convenience or roast sugar pumpkins if you prefer a homemade touch.

What I love about pumpkin purée:

  • Fast and easy to use: pumpkin purée blends right into batters and doughs without any extra prep. A scoop can transform everything from pancakes and muffins to pies and cookies.
  • Nutritious: pumpkin is low in calories but high in vitamin A, potassium, and fiber, giving your baked goods more than just flavor.
  • Adaptable: whether you stir it into oatmeal, swirl it into cheesecake muffins, or bake it into breads and cookies, pumpkin works beautifully in both breakfast and dessert recipes.
  • Perfect for prep: pumpkin purée keeps well in the refrigerator for about 5 days and freezes in portions for up to 3 months, so you can always have it ready for baking.

Pumpkin Muffins and Breads

Pumpkin muffins and breads are moist, tender, and full of cozy fall flavor. These easy bakes are perfect for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or sharing with friends during the holidays.
