There are unlimited pumpkin recipes to enjoy in the fall, but we’ve rounded up the best! Cakes, cookies, breads, muffins, breakfast and more! Everyone has something.
Pumpkin season is here!
I don’t know of anything that evokes fall more than pumpkin. You’ll find them embellishing sweaters, strewn on porches, and most importantly, decorating dining tables in the form of tasty treats.
Over the years, we’ve made a variety of pumpkin recipes, from cakes to cookies, bread to chili. If you’re a pumpkin fan, I highly recommend scrolling through this collection. There is something for everyone during the fall season!
But before you do, here are some tips for pumpkin recipes:
- Almost all pumpkin recipes need it Pumpkin Spice (aka Pumpkin Pie Spice) or Pumpkin Puree. We have a great recipe for homemade pumpkin spice, and if you want to make your own pumpkin puree, the instructions are listed below!
- Make sure when a recipe calls for pumpkin puree Don’t accidentally use a tin of pumpkin pie.
Make Your Own Pumpkin Puree:
I like to use canned pumpkin puree from the grocery store. It’s cheap and as easy as opening a can. However, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can make your own puree. Some recipe pages include instructions, but I thought I’d include it here for anyone wondering.
- Choose the Right Pumpkin: Use pie pumpkins or sugar pumpkins, not the kind used to carve jack-o-lanterns.
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Wash and dry the outside.Cut it in half from top to bottom, scoop out the seeds and string
- Place the halves, inside side down, on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes until tender
- Let the squash cool slightly. Scoop out the pumpkin flesh and place in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Put the puree in a strainer or cheesecloth to drain excess liquid.
- A 6-8 inch pumpkin should yield about 3 cups of puree. Store the puree in a freezer safe container for 4-5 months.
What to do with leftover pumpkin puree:
Some recipes may not use an entire jar of puree, but that doesn’t mean the rest needs to be thrown away. Here are some suggestions for you:
- Storage: Place remaining puree in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or 4-5 months in the refrigerator.
- Stir into oatmeal, yogurt, shakes
- Spread over waffles, bagels or ice cream
- Add it to soups and casseroles
