It’s pumpkin season and I know some people look forward to this every year, so today I’m updating this collection of My Favorite Pumpkin Recipes.
For pumpkin lovers who want a treat, many of my favorite pumpkin recipes are low in carbs, and all are going to be healthier than the usual pumpkin treats that show up everywhere at this time of year! And I have a few savory pumpkin favorites that I’m sharing as well.
For years I wasn’t much of a pumpkin fan, and I admit there was a time when 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 bit more, and I’ve come up with some ideas that are really a treat for people who love pumpkin!
And since I’m still not the world’s biggest pumpkin fans but I love all of these pumpkin recipes, you know they have to be good!
How do you feel about Pumpkin Recipes?
Are you a pumpkin fan, or someone like me who has to have a really good pumpkin recipe to get excited about it?
What diet types are these Pumpkin Recipes suitable for?
I am tagging this post with all the diet-type categories, because there are recipes here that are suitable for all the diet types I feature on my site. But check the icons above the recipe title on each individual recipe to see what diets that recipe is suitable for. And as always, there is more diet-type info found immediately following the recipe itself in every post.
Instant Pot Pumpkin Soup is a newer recipe, and this was absolutely a WOW for Kara and I when we tested the recipe! And the soup has a generous amount of sausage, green bell pepper, cauliflower rice, chicken broth, and cream, so it’s quite low in carbs for a soup with pumpkin.
This Sugar-Free Pumpkin Pudding that only has five ingredients and is ridiculously easy to make has been a hit on the blog, and this has been getting good reviews!
These Almond Flour Pumpkin Muffins are a newer pumpkin recipe on the blog, and this is a moist muffin with lots of pumpkin flavor, and it’s sugar-free, gluten-free, low-carb, and Keto.
If you prefer a traditional pumpkin muffin made with flour, check out the Sugar-Free Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins shown above. These are tasty and easy to make and come in at 15 net carbs per muffin.
This Sugar-Free Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake is something I first made years ago, and I’ve made at least once every year since then. And if you’re following Danica's Kitchen on Facebook, you might have seen the video for this favorite recipe!
Sugar-Free Pumpkin Bread is made into mini-loaves that use whole wheat flour, almond flour, oats, and Golden Monkfruit sweetener, and these are a pumpkin bread treat that’s not too sweet, which gets points from me.
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 ready for dinner that night! And the recipe has been updated for the Instant Pot as well!
This year I had the idea of baking one of my favorite Thanksgiving desserts in a springform pan, which turned it into Sugar-Free Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie. (f you prefer the previous 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 doesn’t have added sugar, but there’s some sugar in the apples. This is a great Thanksgiving dessert for people who don’t like pie.
I think these tasty Sugar-Free Pumpkin Bars would make be a fun idea for 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, and these are tasty and very low in carbs!
And finally, this Pumpkin Chili with Beef, Peppers, and Olives is really delicious for 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?)
