With 10+ years worth of content, it can be easy to forget about some amazing pumpkin recipes that we have shared over the years. Since fall is in full swing, we thought it would be great to resurface some of these gems and get them back in the spotlight.

Top 10 Pumpkin Recipes

1. Crock Pot Pumpkin Spice Latte

This Homemade Crock Pot Pumpkin Spice Latte is EASY to make and is my go-to drink when entertaining in the fall or winter. Made with REAL ingredients from your pantry. Everyone loves it and is amazed that it’s made in a slow cooker.

2. Pumpkin Muffins with Crumble Topping

Over the years, I’ve become sort of a muffin snob. After testing dozens of muffin recipes, I can confidently say that this is one of my all-time favorites. The muffin’s soft, moist texture is perfectly complemented by the crunchy, sweet crumble topping. Plus, with all the autumn-inspired spices, these surprisingly nutritious muffins pack a delightful “pumpkin pie” punch. Tip: Here are 2 Ways to Store or Freeze Muffins to make them last longer.

3. Pumpkin Dump Cake

Easy to make, this crowd-pleaser recipe goes a long away (serves 9-12 people). It is a delicious twist on classic pumpkin pie that almost any age will like. It’s also a great make-ahead recipe. Perfect for holiday parties!

4. Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes. An easy, nutritious, freezer-friendly breakfast idea that the whole family will devour. Double the batch and freeze cooked pancakes for future busy mornings! We also have Zucchini Pancakes and Sweet Potato Pancakes, if you’re looking for variations.

5. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Moist, healthy, and absolutely delicious! You’ll make these year round.

6. Pumpkin Banana Bread

Breakfast, snack, or dessert…this bread, mini bread, muffin, or mini-muffin recipe fits the bill. This bread is moist, nutritious yet has enough good-for-you fat (from coconut oil) and sweetness to taste delicious!

Kids and adults both love this healthy breakfast (or snack). Works great to assemble ahead of time and freeze. We love these freezer containers for recipes like these!
