Around this time every year, I start craving fall. I love fall. It’s my favorite time of year. I want to put a pot of chili on the stove and some pumpkin pies in the oven. I want to decorate with jack o lanterns, plant mums and plan costumes while wearing a sweater and cozy boots.
But then I remember that I live in Phoenix, that it’s 149 degrees and that fall is probably six months away. And with further thought I realize that I really never need a sweater, or boots, even in winter, and I’ve never planted a mum in my life. There goes that plan. But there is no reason I can’t day dream about fall, and all things pumpkin. Let me share with you my pumpkin day dreaming…
I’ll start with my contribution. My low fat pumpkin muffins.
I have been messing with this recipe for probably two years, and it’s pretty much reached perfection (at least for our tastes). It is so moist and flavorful. Last month I made a loaf of full fat pumpkin bread (for my one year old little pipsqueak who is in the 5th percentile and needs all the fat she can get). We all agreed, the low fat version beats a full fat version, hands down. Much like my banana chocolate chip muffins, these freeze wonderfully. I also like to make them in muffin top pans or whoopie pie pans.
On to the recipes! I have to say I think the most creative pumpkin recipes go to the wonderful Jenny at Picky Palate. Her pumpkin recipes are so fun, creative and outside the box. Now lets see what other bakers and bloggers are doing with pumpkin…

Check out Cookin Cowgirl for their pumpkin recipe round up. And to wrap it up, one that’s not for eating. I try to stay focused on the topic of food, but I had to share this. HOW CUTE IS THIS????? I must do this – chalkboard paint on a pumpkin – a countdown? Seriously???? LOVE IT! From Paper Princess Chronicles…
Now if someone could get Fall to hurry up and get here.
Maria says
Wow, that is a lot of pumpkin! Now I am craving it:) Thanks for featuring my recipe!
Becky Huang says
OMG I love everything pumpkin. This is by far the most exciting things I’ve ever seen! I get so upset when all my favorite places stop carrying their pumpkin recipes. Can not wait to try some of these!
shelly (cookies and cups) says
That’s a lot of pumpkin!! Thanks for the feature 🙂
ErinsFoodFiles says
Gaaaah! I’m a pumpkin (and fall) fanatic too! In fact, just today I pinned an owl figurine on Pinterest. You have me drooling in anticipation! I already bookmarked many of the recipes, thanks so much for including one of mine!
Tara says
That was seriously one of the best round-ups I’ve ever seen – I can’t tell you how many of those recipes I’m dying to make this fall! Thanks so much for the shout-out for my Pumpkin Yumkins!
Heidi says
I love pumpkin like no tomorrow. This is an amazing collection of pumpkin treats! I can’t wait to try them out. Now if only fall temps would really hurry up. But, pretty sure the heat will be here until Oct? Ugh, I have such a love hate relationship for AZ!
Christi says
Heidi, I hear you. Heck, it could be November. I always feel like I come back to life when fall finally comes. Enough of this oppressive heat and painful electricity bills. 🙁
MaryLou Farris says
How do we get all these awesome recipes? 😉 I love pumpkin!!!
Christi says
There is a link above each photo that will take you to the recipe. 🙂
Barbara @ Barbara Bakes says
Wow – that is an impressive roundup of pumpkin recipes. Bookmarking your low fat pumpkin muffins. Thanks for including my macs!
Jocelyn says
Holy Pumpkin Recipes!!! I am so ready for pumpkin pie now!!! Thank you so much for featuring my mini oreo pumpkin cheesecakes!!!
Mercedes says
Pumpkin is my weakness. I am sorry for someone that loves fall so much never gets a true fall. I absolutely love fall as well!
Lora says
Fall is my favorite season as well. This round up is amazing!
kelly verbeck says
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE Pumpkin – these ALL look amazing! Thanks a MILION for sharing : ) YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jess Wakasugi says
Yet another ridiculous array of goodies!! Gosh, every single one of those things looks utterly fantastic, I feel like I could have something to bake for the next month just off this page! It’s hard to believe that Fall is already around the corner…
[email protected] says
Great line up of delicious pumpkin desserts! It took awhile to go throught but I have saved a few of these recipes. Thanks for compiling-yum!
Jen K says
This post is soooooooooo hurtful…lol. I live in AZ and it’s been so hot for so long already, I long for fall so badly. But knowing it’s still a full three months away seems unreachable! I want to make all of these things RIGHT NOW!!
Mona says
LOVE pumpkin ….. LOVE the fall!!! These are awesome recipes : )
suzanne says
Oh my goodness, ALL of these look delicious I know what Ill be baking come fall haha.
April says
OMG…those ALL look delish! If it weren’t 90 plus outside, I’d totally try to bake right now. Alas, I’ll have to do something else to tame these cravings…thanks for driving a pregnant lady crazy! ; )
Lilly says
I am speechless. So many great pumpkin dishes and beautiful pictures, makes me wanna make something too!
Shannon says
Wow! Seeing all that pumpkin really makes me crave it and totally ready for the fall! I saw MANY things I really want to try. Thanks!
Elizabeth says
Thanks for sharing all these great recipes but I was missing pumpkin soup… Atlanta bread company makes a great pumpkin soup during the fall. I’ve looked for similar recipes but nothing seem to compare I would love if someone had a pumpkin soup recipe to share.
Christi says
Elizabeth, glad you liked them. I decided to stick to just sweets and breads, as opening it up to include savory recipes would probably result in me sitting at my computer collecting pumpkin recipes for the next two weeks – I’m kind of obsessive like that! 🙂
Elyse @The Cultural Dish says
Wow! There are so many amazing recipes! I am just like you when it comes to craving fall… I have a pumpkin soup and cheesecake I have been dying to make! I cannot wait for fall!
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
OH. MY. GOODNESS! Fall overload in a good way! I thought I was the only person who started craving Fall this time of year. 55 days! WOO HOO!
michele says
What a tremendous amount of variety to use the pumpkin. Nothing like the fall even in Phoenix.
Lauren at Keep It Sweet says
OMG that list is out of control, now I have a huge pumpkin craving!
Corrine says
Oh my God! I’m drooling over here!
Emily says
I almost flipped biscuits when i saw this post.
I am pregnant and I have been craving pumpkin EVERYTHING for the past week. When I came on today and saw this post, I couldn’t believe my eyes!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
I will be making almost all of these ;]
Christina @ Sweet Pea's Kitchen says
Oh man!!! I am in pumpkin heaven!! I love anything pumpkin! I can’t wait to give a few of these a try! Thanks for featuring my pumpkin fudge! 😀
Sarah @ SugarCooking says
Wow, wow, wow! I’m 38.5 weeks pregnant and have been hoping everyday that I will go into labor, now I’m hoping I don’t go into labor until at least Monday so I can spend my weekend baking some of this pumpkin-y goodness! Pumpkin is my weakness! Well that and ice cream, cookies, cupcakes, cheesecake, and chocolate. 🙂
torviewtoronto says
so many delicious recipes thank you for including mine
Lexi says
This is honestly the BEST blog I’ve seen all day. I have been looking for good pumpkin recipes and I kept finding the same boring pumpkin pies and such until I found this!!! Thank you!!! Wonderful post!!!
Erika says
What a wonderfully delicious collection… I have the desire to make all of these recipes, but my doctor would not be pleased as I am diabetic. I will have to look into these recipes further to see how I can modify them for me… not reducing the sugar content, but eliminating the allspice that a majority of pumpkin recipes contain and to which all the women in my family are allergic.
April D says
WOW!!! Glad to see TONSSSSSSSSS of recipes all in one place… I bookmarked lots of them!
