Our Best Pumpkin Recipes

We know we’re not the only ones who get wildly excited when pumpkin season rolls around. (Though truth be told, we enjoy pumpkin all year thanks to canned purée.) After all, what other ingredient has been so embraced that we’ve been able to put it into everything we eat, including snacks for our pups?

Pumpkin recipes run the gamut from sweet to savory, breakfast to dinner to dessert. Its mildly sweet and almost nutty flavor paired with its creamy texture means it's great with virtually everything.

When it comes to baked goods, pumpkin helps keep things moist without adding extra fat. Mixed with the familiar combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, the classic pumpkin-spice combo comes to life.

Pumpkin also works well with savory recipes. You can use fresh pumpkin like butternut squash, or stir puréed pumpkin into soups, creamy rice dishes or even mix with cheese for an unexpected dip. For pumpkin, the possibilities are truly endless!
