10 Healthy Pumpkin Recipes

Anyone else LOVE everything pumpkin? Here are 10 of my favorite healthy pumpkin recipes to get you in the fall mood.

Happy Fall, friends!

October usually signals the beginning of sweets and treats season. Who doesn’t start to crave cozy, warm pumpkin desserts when the weather gets cooler?

But you don’t have to settle for pumpkin treats loaded with processed grains and sugars. Everything I’m sharing today is gluten free, mostly grain free, and made with all real food ingredients.

10 Healthy Pumpkin Recipes

1. Skillet Pumpkin Cake (gluten free + vegan)

This gluten free and vegan pumpkin cake is so delicious and moist, with the perfect blend of fall spices and topped with an insanely yummy nut crumble.

2. Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding (dairy free)

Pumpkin pie chia pudding is made with a few simple ingredients and with just a few minutes of prep time. A delicious and healthy breakfast, snack, or dessert full of all the fall flavors.

3. Creamy Pumpkin Custard (dairy free)

This creamy pumpkin custard is heart-warming, soul-satisfying fall time comfort food. Rich, creamy, and sweet, itโ€™s the ultimate pumpkin dessert.

4. Peanut Butter Pumpkin Energy Balls (no bake, gluten free + vegan)

These healthy, no bake peanut butter pumpkin energy balls are loaded with all the good things and are perfect for snacking and meal prepping. Ready in 10 minutes and are gluten free and vegan.

7. Easy Pumpkin Cake (gluten and grain free)

A simple and straight forward pumpkin cake to keep the pumpkin party going this month.  Soft, moist, and perfectly spiced.

8. Mini Pumpkin Muffins (gluten and grain free)

These little mini pumpkin muffins taste UH-MAY-ZING.  Every single bite is moist, pumpkin goodness. They’re lightly spiced and sweetened with real maple syrup.  And that sweet pecan crumble.  So good.  The smell coming from the oven is reason enough to make these muffins.

9. Pumpkin Apple Muffins (gluten and grain free)

These muffins embody everything you could ask for in a fall time treat: easy, cozy, and good for you.

10. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread (gluten and grain free)

This is what I call pumpkin heaven.  Moist delicious pumpkin bread scattered with mini little chocolate chips.  Oh My Goodness!  So good!

๐Ÿ’— We donโ€™t buy things we canโ€™t pay for. We donโ€™t carry debt to maintain a lifestyle. We donโ€™t feel the need to buy the latest brand name or keep up with what everyone else has.

๐Ÿ’— We try to be intentional with our spending, asking ourselves whether something actually adds value to our lives โ€” or whether weโ€™ve simply been conditioned to want it.

๐Ÿ’— We invest in things that align with our values, including our future selves.
