Pumpkin Recipes to Try This Fall
Fall is upon us, the weather is getting cooler and many of us are daydreaming of the glories of pumpkin spice. While Thanksgiving dinner is around the corner and Christmas cookies will be close behind, now is the time to celebrate fall in all of its splendor. Is there any flavor more evocative of the fall than pumpkin? Whether you prefer sweet, pumpkin-themed treats or savory, delicious side dishes and entrees, pumpkin has something for everyone, and it’s packed with nutrients, too!
Pumpkin is a dietary powerhouse, low in calories and nutrient-dense. It’s packed with anti-oxidants like vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E, and it’s a good source of B vitamins like folates, niacin, vitamin B-6, thiamin, and pantothenic acid. It can help control cholesterol, is full of fiber, and provides minerals like copper, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus. It’s also amazingly versatile, as you can see in these pumpkin recipes.
- Have some pumpkin to start your day. It’s easy to make pumpkin into a healthy breakfast by layering it with Greek yogurt, pumpkin seeds, and a few other ingredients for this Spicy Pumpkin Parfait. If you’re craving something sweet, try some Nutella Stuffed Pumpkin French Toast, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Pancakes, or Pumpkin Ricotta Pancakes.
- Use pumpkin for your main meals, too. Mac and cheese is always a hit, and it gets even better when you add pumpkin for this One Pot Creamy Pumpkin Mac and Cheese. Pumpkin Sage Lasagna Roll Up Pull Aparts and Pork and Pumpkin Stuffed Shells are also delicious main dish options, and if you’re looking for more of an appetizer, try Whipped Ricotta with Roasted Pumpkin.
- Try some fall pumpkin spice to make dessert perfect. Pumpkin Crème Brulé is heavenly, and you can make it even better by adding some pumpkin spice. For a delicious dessert that looks impressive, too, try this Pumpkin Roulade with Ginger Buttercream or if you’d like a comforting handheld snack, go for Pumpkin Cupcakes with Brown Butter Frosting. If you’re looking for easy pumpkin spice recipes, it doesn’t get much easier than Pumpkin Dump Cake or this Easy Pumpkin Trifle.
- Don’t forget the beverages! These pumpkin spice recipe ideas are even better than a pumpkin spice drinks you’d find at a restaurant or coffee shop. Start the morning with a Pumpkin Spice Latte or Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino, served hot or chilled. Finish the evening with a yummy Pumpkin Spice Cocktail.
