Let’s check out some of my favorite recipes from past seasons that never fail to keep everyone salivating. Pumpkin spice posse… it’s on! (We need pumpkin spice capes, I’m telling you.)
Pumpkin recipes for fall
Harry Potter-inspired pumpkin pasties (two ways!)

Pumpkin cookie butter pancakes with cream cheese glaze
Pumpkin pancakes alone are fabulous, but pumpkin pancakes drizzled with cream cheese glaze? Dessert-worthy. But let’s eat it for breakfast anyway, shall we?
These also feature Trader Joe’s seasonal pumpkin spice cookie butter, the pumpkin-y derivative of their Speculoos cookie butter that launched a million cookie butter products.

Pumpkin banana bread
What’s a girl to do with a whole bunch of brown bananas in the fall? PUMPKIN BANANA BREAD! We’ve got smooshed up ‘nanners, smooshed up pumpkins, and lots of warm fall spices. Oh yes, we’re taking two fruits… err a fruit and a veggie? A fruit and a squash? Whatever it is, it’s yummy.

Pumpkin butter ricotta spread
This spread is fabulous smoothed onto the pumpkin banana bread above. It’s ricotta, it’s pumpkin butter, it’s amazing.

Pumpkin ginger dream bars
In this fall-themed pumpkin dream bar recipe, I decided to swap a traditional graham cracker crust with a crunched-up ginger snap crust. You can see their dark, molasses-y goodness in that bottom layer up there. Plus there’s a low-sugar option if that’s better for your macros. These will go FAST at a party, so save one for yourself.

Pumpkin curry soup
Pumpkin curry soup
A savory pumpkin recipe, finally! All that sugar was giving me a rush. It’s time for some smooth and creamy pumpkin curry soup. It’s mostly shitake mushrooms, onions, pumpkin puree, and coconut milk. So easy!

All pretty tasty and approved by my hubby. 🙂
