Pumpkin desserts really speak to the season, don’t they? I’m rounding up all my favorite pumpkin dessert recipes, filled with all the flavors and fragrance of fall. It’s the best pumpkin-inspired recipe collection with tips, tricks and sweet pumpkin recipes all in one place!
I receive a lot of questions about baking throughout the year – but it seems that during the fall, there are more inquiries in my inbox than ever. It’s something about the flavors and scents of fall that have us all running to the kitchen, itching to create memories with our families.
With that in mind, I’ve created a collection for one of my favorite fall flavors – PUMPKIN! Baking with pumpkin is the ultimate way to bring the outdoors in for autumn. The aroma and texture created with pumpkin (and the accompanying seasonings and spices) is the best way to create a feeling of home during the fall months. Read on to discover everything you need to know about baking pumpkin desserts!
Tips
- Canned pumpkin recipes are best made with…canned pumpkin. Don’t over-complicate your baking when there’s an easy, quality store bought shortcut available.
- Next, don’t skip this guide to Loaf Pan Sizes and Baking Pan Sizes. This will help you choose the perfect pan for your pumpkin breads or pound cakes!
- Baking Essentials – This free printable baking supply chart is so handy. I like to make sure I have a stocked spice cabinet, as occasionally spices from past years have lost potency and should be refreshed.
- Speaking of spices, don’t skip this homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice blend. This is a combination of spices that add the fragrance and true flavor to your pumpkin recipes. Make sure to have this one on hand!
