5 Cozy Pumpkin Recipes to Try This Fall

Thai Pumpkin Curry

This is my favorite curry! It includes chicken breast, chunks of kabocha squash and veggies in a flavorful red coconut curry broth. It's gluten-free and can be made vegan by omitting the chicken.

Pumpkin Spice Waffles

These waffles are crisp and fluffy, and they're made with whole grain oat flour so they're gluten-free. They're packed with warm pumpkin spice flavor and make a great make-ahead fall breakfast!

Roasted Pumpkin Apple Soup

It doesn't get much cozier than a bowl of this roasted pumpkin and apple soup! It's velvety smooth, packed with fall flavors and it's garnished with coconut milk (or cream) and crunchy pepitas.

Pumpkin Bread

A combination of oat and almond flour gives this gluten-free pumpkin bread the most amazing soft texture! It's full of cozy spice flavor and studded with dark chocolate chips for the ultimate fall quick bread.

Pumpkin Risotto with Bacon

I make this pumpkin risotto every season. It's so creamy with the nutty flavor of fresh roasted pumpkin and crispy crumbled bacon and pepitas take it over the top!

Apple Pie Bars
