Our 10 Most Popular Pumpkin Recipes

We have a large number of pumpkin recipes on our site. Which ones have you been indulging in the most? Because in the fall, nobody can resist a dish or dessert featuring this popular ingredient, so we’ve put together a list of the 10 most popular ones that our visitors like you enjoy the most.

1. Homemade Pumpkin Purée

It’s no wonder that this recipe is in the top spot! After all, this homemade purée is the base for many of the other recipes you’ll find on this list. Easy to make and oh-so versatile, many of you seem to turn to this recipe rather than going for the canned version. 

2. Pumpkin Bread

What’s fall without the warm embrace of this pumpkin loaf? Packed with the comforting flavours of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, this moist and flavourful recipe perfectly complements your morning coffee, elevating your breakfast routine.

3. Classic Pumpkin Pie (The Best)

The ultimate dessert to serve at Thanksgiving (and enjoy the leftovers for days afterwards!), our best-ever pumpkin pie recipe has a silky filling and a flaky, buttery crust. Fun fact: Dare we say, we actually prefer canned pumpkin purée for this recipe over the homemade stuff!

4. Pumpkin Soup

A warm bowl of comfort on a cool autumn day, this delicious soup is made from oven-baked pumpkin combined with softened veggies and broth, which are then puréed until smooth. Not only is it delicious, but its presentation with a cream drizzle, pumpkin seeds and fresh herbs is pretty to look at, too.

5. Pumpkin–Molasses Muffins

If you’re looking for the perfect fall snack on the go, these muffins are it! The pumpkin provides the moisture, the spices bring the warmth, and the molasses adds a touch of richness and sweetness. 

6. Pumpkin Spiced Cake

“Best pumpkin cake ever,” “Always a hit,” and “Delicious!” are just some of the rave reviews this recipe has gotten. And with good reason: The cake’s crumb is wonderfully moist, the cream cheese frosting is absolutely creamy, and the candied pecans are what tie the whole dessert together.

7. Maple Pumpkin Pie

Indulge in this pie that combines the richness of pumpkin with the sweetness of maple syrup. It’s a delightful twist on the classic pie, but with all the warm, comforting flavours you know and love.

8. Pumpkin Spice Latte

Fall is all about cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes. While we’re not experts in knitting up the former, we are more than qualified to help you make the latte(r)! The recipe consists of a homemade pumpkin spice syrup, which you then combine with espresso and milk. You’ll be more than happy to be the barista and make it yourself, saving money on your usual daily latte.

9. Vegan Pumpkin Cake with Caramel Sauce

Yes, we created this vegan cake in honour of the season. Ground chia seeds are used as a binding agent instead of eggs, while the coconut milk plant-based beverage ensures that the cake remains perfectly moist. The cake has a beautiful marble effect, as well as the irresistible aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg.

10. Beef Stew with Pumpkin and Vegetables

This rich, savoury stew rounds off our list. First, chop up all the ingredients, then simmer the beef gently for two hours and, lastly, add the vegetables. The result is a truly autumnal dish that gives pumpkin a whole new profile.
