I’m sharing My Favorite Pumpkin Recipes just in time for pumpkin season. And I know how some people look forward to this season every year! For pumpkin lovers who want a treat, my pumpkin dessert recipes will be healthier options that are lower in carbs! And I have some favorite savory pumpkin recipes that I’m sharing as well.
For years I wasn’t much of a pumpkin fan. Back then I didn’t get it when other blogs started featuring pumpkin recipes with so much enthusiasm. But now I’ve gotten on the pumpkin bandwagon a lot more. And I’ve enjoyed and shared pumpkin ideas that will be a treat for everyone who loves pumpkin!
And since I do love all these pumpkin recipes myself, you know they have to be good! I hope you enjoy trying some!

What diets are the Pumpkin Recipes suitable for?
I am tagging this post with all the diet-type categories. That’s because there are recipes here that are suitable for each of the diet types on my site. Check the icons above the recipe title on each recipe to see what diets it’s suitable for. You can also use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of every post to get quickly to the complete recipe. There you’ll see a tall rectangle with the nutritional information. And as always, there’s more diet-type info found immediately following the complete recipe.
Instant Pot Pumpkin Soup was absolutely a WOW for Kara and I when we tested the recipe! And this soup has sausage, green pepper, cauliflower rice, chicken broth, and cream! That means it’s quite low in carbs for a soup with pumpkin.
This Sugar-Free Pumpkin Pudding only has five ingredients and is ridiculously easy to make! This has been a hit on the blog, and the recipe is getting good reviews!
These Almond Flour Pumpkin Muffins are a popular pumpkin treat. This is a moist muffin with lots of pumpkin flavor that’s sugar-free, gluten-free, low-carb, and Keto.
If you prefer a traditional pumpkin muffin made with flour, check out these Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins. These are sugar-free, tasty, and easy to make, with 15 net carbs per muffin.
Sugar-Free Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake is something I’ve made it every year since I first tried it years ago. And if you’re following Kalyn’s Kitchen on Facebook, you might have seen the viral video for this recipe!
Sugar-Free Pumpkin Bread is made into mini-loaves that use whole wheat flour, almond flour, oats, and Golden Monkfruit sweetener. This is a version of pumpkin bread that’s not too sweet.
I’m a savory girl more than a sweets eater, so this Pumpkin Chili with Ground Beef is my kind of food. This would be a great recipe to put in the crockpot on a cold day and have for dinner that night! And the recipe has been updated for the Instant Pot as well!
I had the idea of baking one of my favorite Thanksgiving desserts in a springform pan. That turned it into crustless Sugar-Free Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie. (f you prefer the version baked in a graham cracker crust, here is the printer-friendly version for Low-Sugar Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie.)
In some parts of the world all types of winter squash are called pumpkin. And you can use either butternut squash or pumpkin to make this Low-Sugar Pumpkin Apple Crumble. This is a great Thanksgiving dessert for people who don’t like pie.
I think these tasty Sugar-Free Pumpkin Bars would make a fun breakfast on Halloween morning, or serve them as a less-sweet dessert.
Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes are sugar-free and can also be gluten-free if you eliminate the optional tablespoon of flour. These are tasty and very low in carbs!
And finally, this No-Bean Pumpkin Chili (with Beef, Peppers, and Olives) is really delicious when you want a chili without beans.

I’m not a huge pumpkin fan, but that chili looks really tempting!
Thanks Lydia, it was really good. There isn’t really a pumpkin flavor, just a little more sweetness from the pumpkin.
Do you think in your pumpking bars you could use all almond flour instead of adding whole wheat? Thanks
There might be a way to adapt the recipe for only almond flour but since I haven't tried it that way I wouldn't be able to guess how you'd need to change the recipe. You could try searching for a similar recipe on google.
Katie, hope you enjoy it!
Never thought of adding it to chili…. I think that's a good choice for this weekend.
great recipe. thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks Cara, hope you like it.
oooh, I really really want to try that pumpkin and apple crumble. What a way to jazz up apple crisp!
TW, sounds like you're more of a pumpkin fan than I am!
I just baked two pumpkin breads this morning, and made a pumpkin black bean chili which I've never tried before. I love the way the pureed pumpkin makes a very rich sauce. Tis the season!
Thanks Sarah. I think pumpkin cream sauce sounds interesting!
I love everything pumpkin. And although the filling of pumpkin pie is my favorite, I have been experimenting with pumpkin cream sauce — which is a totally different and delicious take too. Those muffins look amazing.
Kelly, I guess we are together in our pumpkin apathy this year!
Barbara, I don't like pumpkin pie much at all, even though it's traditional here. Will have to take a look at the pumpkin fruit cake. Sounds interesting.
Great to know I'm in such good company. Outside of purchasing two cute baby pumpkins to sit in my kitchen window sill, I haven't budged about baking with it. The chili sounds great, and nobody has to twist my arm to enjoy a slice of cheesecake ever. Nice list of possibilities 🙂
Hate when comments are slow to come so it looks like I'm replying to the wrong person. Oh well, you have to laugh, right? Jacki, thanks for sharing!
Liz, that sounds like something I'd really like. (Pumpkins and cilantro; how can that be bad?)
