It’s fall, y’all! Bring on the big comfy sweaters, cute boots, cozy scarves, golden leaves, and ALL THINGS PUMPKIN PLEASE. Fall food is truly the best food, and it’s mostly all thanks that tasty little orange vegetable. Err, fruit? Who knows.
It can be sweet or savory, dressed up in a pasta or baked in a muffin, blended into a soup or baked into crunchy granola. It seriously does it all. Here are a few of our favorite pumpkin recipes we’re making this fall – and every fall, TBH.
Favorite Pumpkin Muffins
Totally top-of-the-list worthy. Made with just oats, pumpkin, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and eggs. Chocolate chips 100% necessary.
Instant Pot Pumpkin Walnut Chili
Soup season is in full swing and this is just the epitome of fall. Pumpkin, walnuts, beans, peppers, grains, and more! Also happily vegan.
Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage Butter Sauce
This is as dreamy (and easy!) as it gets. Breathe in that sage, garlic, butter, pumpkin-gnocchi-pillow combo. It’s just so good.
5-Ingredient Pumpkin Alfredo
Creamy, luscious, and so super simple. Ultimate fall comfort food!
Favorite Pumpkin Granola
This granola is everything. Notes of cinnamon, toasty nuts, maple, and caramelized pumpkin, extra salty-sweet and crispy, roasty to the max. YES.
Creamy Pumpkin Spaghetti with Garlic Kale
Sounds so weird but it’s SO GOOD. The most crazy good combination: spicy turkey, creamy pumpkin sauce, and pasta! Can’t go wrong.
Super Moist Pumpkin Bread
Easy, classic, super moist pumpkin bread. *sigh* Made with olive oil, pumpkin, and cinnamon, and topped with crunchy turbinado sugar.
Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Pumpkin Hummus
Another weird one but OMG this stuff is so good. Super quick, healthy, and crazy delicious.

I really do not like goat cheese, what would be a good substitute.
Hi, Sandy! Do you mean the pumpkin risotto with goat cheese? That recipe is from another blogger, but we’re guessing it’d work to just omit the cheese altogether.
Great recipe! I made it according to your recipe and the taste is great! Everyone in the family likes it, it makes me happy. Thank you
Whatever happened to the pumpkin dump cake…that used to be on your blog right????!!!

To those of you who haven’t made them – you best get on that!
Everything sounds yummy! I love pumpkin spice coffee in the fall. I was just thinking of breakfast ideas for the week, the baked steel cut oatmeal sounds yummy.
Curried Pumpkin Soup sounds amazing!
Your pumpkin bread recipe calls for a CAN of pumpkin.
Hope you enjoy them!
Your pumpkin bread recipe calls for a CAN of pumpkin. I use my own so would like to see measurable amounts- cups, for instance. Not everybody cooks out of cans.
Love the ideas! Thank you!

Gimme all the pumpkin!! Loving all these recipe, especially the pumpkin gnocchi and the pumpkin risotto. I’m totally making that pumpkin risotto!!
Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
This list is gold.
But, question on the pumpkin bread: I made this the other day, following the recipe exactly (though I used all vegetable oil and didn’t pause the baking to add sugar on top), and the bread was on the dry side — especially considering it’s titled “moist” I wondered why mine wasn’t?
Hi Kelly! Sorry to hear it. My best guess is that it’s possible that it got just a little over-baked, or the temp was just a little too high (we like to put a thermometer inside our oven to ensure it’s actually the temperature we want!). Hope this helps!
Pumpkin is my all time favorite. When I’m baking for the holidays, I usually light a couple of candles to create more of a cozy ambiance and it really gets me in the holiday baking mood.
that was good…
No delicious creamy pumpkin soup with croutons, (sigh)?
Can’t wait to try some of these 🙂
Enjoy! 🙂
My wife grew pumpkins. My CSA keeps delivering pumpkins. We have pumpkins up to our nose, so this list will be very useful.

Pumpkin bread, risotto, soup, chili, and granola?!?!?! Danggggg, I would eat that whole batch of granola. I’m so obsessed with ANYTHING pumpkin-spiced, to tell the truth!
That granola is SERIOUSLY the best.
