There was no avoiding it. It had to be done. Pumpkin mania.

Some of my tried and true favorite fall recipes involving the one ingredient that makes people go gaga before the leaves even start falling: pumpkin puree.

Without further ado, my favorite pumpkin recipes:

Pumpkin Spiced Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing

These take less than 5 minutes to whip together and might just be the easiest dessert you ever make. The husband still considers them one of the best things to come out of our kitchen.

Pumpkin Cream Cheese

My heart breaks that I won’t be indulging in this classic favorite this year. Make with regular cream cheese, neufchatel for a low-fat version, or with soy cream cheese for a non-dairy/vegan version.

Starbucks Copycat Pumpkin Scones

With a bit of a healthy twist- spelt flour. Did I mention they’re vegan?

Pumpkin Rolls

The perfect autumn dinner side or snack…or drizzle with a bit of honey or agave for a festive seasonal dessert.

Pumpkin Pecan Pie Pancakes

Because the only thing better than pancakes is calling them “pie”.
