14 Sweet Pumpkin Recipes

I love baking with pumpkin this time of year. While I do like to take a beautiful little sugar pumpkin, roast it and make my own pumpkin puree using the method in this old post, most of the time I use canned pumpkin. It’s quick and convenient, many recipes are calibrated to the amount of pumpkin in a 15-ounce can, it’s consistent, and it’s downright good. Armed with a few cans of pumpkin puree and a jar of Pumpkin Pie Spice, I can celebrate fall and winter in sweet and delicious style.

A couple of easy recipes include Sweet Pumpkin Dip

And Applesauce with Pumpkin and Spices.

That pumpkin-loaded applesauce can be used in Applesauce and Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.

I probably use pumpkin the most to make quick breads, such as Pumpkin Oatmeal Quick Bread with Dates and Pecans, Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins, Pumpkin Molasses Muffins, Pumpkin Spice Latte Muffins

Or even Pumpkin Waffles.

I also bake it into Pumpkin Cookies with Brown Sugar Frosting, or Sweet Pumpkin Focaccia.

There’s also Butterscotch Pumpkin Fudge to satisfy the extra sweet tooth, but the best pumpkin baking is in the form of pumpkin pie, such as Grandmama’s Pumpkin Pie

Bourbon Vanilla Pumpkin Pie, or even Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes.

So, welcome, Great Pumpkin! You’ll always be invited here.
