Autumn and pumpkin just go together. I’ve shared some really great recipes to make for fall that aren’t pumpkin. Ultimately, though, I want a few pumpkin flavored treats every October and November.
Below I’ve rounded up five different recipes that you can make right here on One Mama’s Daily Drama. They’re some of my favorites, so I hope you like them too.
Sweet pumpkin recipes
These all have a strong pumpkin flavor and a bit of sweetness. They’re perfect for dessert, but if you want to have them for breakfast (or any time) I won’t tell.
1. Pumpkin Bread
Make this pumpkin quick bread as a loaf, or divide the batter into muffin cups for individual portions. However you serve it, this pumpkin bread is delicious with a cup of coffee or tea. If you want to make it even sweeter, add a fluffy cream cheese frosting on top!
2. Pumpkin Pie
This pumpkin pie recipe is my baby. I shared it many years ago and it’s the single most popular thing on my blog every day of the year. You can make it with any type of milk. It’s the perfect dessert for Thanksgiving, of course, served with a generous dollop of whipped cream. (Homemade whipped cream, if you have time!)
3. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars
These pumpkin chocolate chip bars are soft and fudgy like a blondie. I love making chocolate chip cookies, but dislike the time it takes to scoop a few dozen little portions. Quick and easy to make, just bake the batter in a square pan, then slice into bars.
4. Pumpkin Pudding Cups
Pumpkin pie might be traditional, but I’ve found that kids don’t like it as much as adults do. To treat the kids, mix up a batch of pumpkin pudding cups. This cooks on the stovetop and has an easy graham cracker crust. Sprinkles are optional, but too cute to skip.
5. Pumpkin Smoothie
Most desserts make enough to serve a crowd. If you’re looking for sometime pumpkin flavored just for one, try this pumpkin smoothie. It tastes like pie in a cup and you can make it in minutes.
