18 Delicious Pumpkin Recipes to Try this Fall—the perfect list of amazing pumpkin flavors that will have you swooning all season.
With the Fall Season in full gear, I wanted to roundup a few great options for those of us who enjoy everything Pumpkin Spice. You’ll experience everything from sweet to savory. Plus, these recipes are super easy to make and most don’t require much time.
My go to pumpkin puree is the organic version from Libby’s and I’m so excited to share my faves with you! Did you get a chance to see our #PumpkinWeek? It was truly about everything pumpkin spice! The ultimate Fall comfort.
What Makes Pumpkin + Pumpkin Spice Such a Craze?
Believe it or not, Pumpkin spice has been a round long before the recent movement of Pumpkin Spice Lattes. In fact, I’ve read that recipes have been around since the 1700s. So what’s the huge deal now?
Honestly, I give credit to Starbuck’s first introduction to Pumpkin Spice Lattes in 2003. Since then, I think that it’s taken on a life of it’s own and is now A THING in the food world, especially during the official Fall season.
What is Pumpkin Spice Exactly?
Literally, pumpkin spice is the combination of warm, delicious spices which include: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, + allspice. That’s it!
While many people aren’t a huge fan of pumpkin by itself, there’s just something about adding pumpkin spice to the mix. Haha.
That’s why I chose to create this list of pumpkin recipes that include really good flavor + all the pumpkin spice that your heart desires.
Fun Facts About Pumpkin That You Probably Didn’t Know.
- Pumpkins weren’t originally the staple of Halloween. The original Jack-O’-Lanterns were actually Turnips + Potatoes made by the Irish.
- Pumpkins are grown on EVERY CONTINENT except for Antarctica (for obvious reasons). Haha!
- Morton, Illinois calls itself the “Pumpkin Capital of the World”.
- The largest pumpkin ever baked weighed 3,699 pounds. Just wow!
- Each pumpkin has a TON of seeds—about 500!
- Every part of the pumpkin (skin, seeds, leaves + all) are actually edible!
- Pumpkins are fruit, not vegetables.
Did you know any of these facts? I’m actually shocked at a few!
