23 brilliant, creative, delicious recipes using canned pumpkin puree!
Canned pumpkin is a great add-in to all kinds of recipes.
Oh canned pumpkin puree, how we love you so! It’s such a wonderful add-in to all your fall baked goods, savory dinners, breakfast favorites, soups and desserts. Canned pumpkin is pretty amazing stuff, so we put it in just about everything.
Libby’s 100% Pure Pumpkin is our favorite brand of canned pumpkin, and is free from artificial ingredients and preservatives. Year after year it never fails to exceed our expectations. Just read the back of the label …. Ingredient: Pumpkin, that’s it! If you’re into making your own homemade pumpkin puree, then I say go for it! Either way, these amazing recipes will be delicious additions to your fall menu.
In addition to being healthy, canned pumpkin is a great baking substitute.
You can easily switch out 1/3 cup of pumpkin puree for one egg, in most recipes. That little recipe trick alone opens up so many recipes for pumpkin-inspiration. And, if you’re still looking for more, I’ve gathered all our best loved pumpkin recipes HERE for your to peruse. Don’t forget to follow our Pumpkin Recipe Board on Pinterest. We’ve gone pumpkin crazy!

Liz
Oh, my. These ALL look fabulous! I’m so glad I have loads of pumpkin in my pantry. The hardest part will be deciding which to make first!
Tricia Buice
Thanks Liz – I’m having the same problem – so many great recipes 🙂

The recipes all look so amazing and delicious, especially that very first cake, it is stunning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen canned pumpkin or pumpkin spice in the shops around here.

Tricia Buice
That’s such a shame Amalia! Pumpkin is a north American thing I guess. Hope you get to try it one day!

LOVE this compilation! I’m such a huge pumpkin fan, so I’m definitely going to try as many of these recipes as I can. And wow, I had no idea pumpkin puree could replace eggs in a recipe – I learned something new today!
Also, still have your pumpkin pancakes at the top of my list of things to try ASAP 😉
Tricia Buice
Yeah! So glad we can help 🙂 Have a terrific weekend Shannon.

Tricia Buice
I love pumpkin recipes and have a list of many more I’d like to make. Is it possible to have too much pumpkin? I hope not 🙂 Thanks Pam!
Monica
I haven’t felt the pumpkin-baking urge this fall but this is totally changing that! I see so many sweet and savory things I’d love to sample. I have been roasting and eating kabocha non-stop so hope that counts towards my pumpkin quota. I’m off to take a closer look here and be inspired. : ) Thanks, Tricia!
Tricia Buice
Hey Monica – your pumpkin quota is full of squash! Haha – hope you get in the mood for pumpkin soon – so many great recipes to make and eat!

I literally HOARD cans of pumpkin all year long, I get skittish if my supply gets too low 😉 There is so much delicious inspiration here, thanks for including me Tricia!
Tricia Buice
Haha – I know how you feel! I get frantic when I use my last can. I like buying canned pumpkin on sale more than shoes 🙂
