I unintentionally forgot to snap a lot of photos of this past weekend to share with you guys today but it was a really, really nice one. It was a rainy one in Charlotte and we followed the weather’s lead and kept things low key. Since I don’t have much to show for our weekend, I figured I’d pop in with a little recipe roundup post for you guys today since it’s been years since I shared one on the blog!
Pumpkin seemed like the natural thing to focus on with Thanksgiving on the calendar on Thursday so this roundup includes all the pumpkin recipes you might be interested in making this week, especially if you have random bits of leftover pumpkin on hand after making all the pumpkin treats over the holidays.
Below you will find an assortment of pumpkin recipes from breakfast creations to pumpkin desserts and snacks. I hope you find something that pops out at you and becomes a new favorite in your house!
Pumpkin Breakfasts
After a summertime hiatus, Pumpkin Paleo Oatmeal is back in full force in our house! It’s creamy, voluminous and protein-packed and made with a combination of egg whites, almond milk, flax seeds, banana and pumpkin.
I’ve talked about these muffins a billion times on the blog and for good reason. We almost always have a batch of these whole wheat pumpkin muffins on hand in our house, either freshly made or in the freezer, because they’re the boys’ favorite muffins ever.
There is no protein powder needed to make a batch of these protein-packed Oatmeal Pumpkin Protein Pancakes! They’re naturally sweetened and made with simple, wholesome ingredients. Top them with a drizzle of maple syrup or fresh berries and enjoy a warm and comforting breakfast that will fill you up without making you feel weighed down.
Pumpkin Snacks
A deliciously frothy treat, this Immune-Boosting Pumpkin Spice Latte is perfect to whip up when you feel a little off.
This recipe for Pumpkin Spice Bark combines coconut oil, pumpkin puree, vanilla almond butter and festive fall flavors for a sweet treat that only tastes indulgent! Customize this bark by adding your favorite fall sprinkles, candy corn, chopped nuts and more.
Make a big batch of this Pumpkin Spice Puppy Chow to have on hands for guests to munch on if you’re hosting Thanksgiving at your house this year and I promise you’ll have a lot of happy visitors on your hands! This recipe is a festive fall take on traditional puppy chow made with cookie butter, white chocolate chips and plenty of pumpkin pie spice.
Pumpkin Desserts
This Pumpkin Icebox Cake is a sweet and creamy dessert that is easy to make and overflowing with cinnamon and pumpkin flavor. Simply whip up a batch of homemade cinnamon pumpkin whipped cream and layer it with Biscoff cookies for a festive fall dessert everyone will love!
Who doesn’t love Rice Krispie Treats!? They’re chewy and gooey and so darn good and these Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats are a fun spin on the classic recipe.
If you’re looking for the easiest cupcake recipe on the planet, this is it! These Pumpkin Spice Cake Mix Cupcakes are made with only two ingredients and come together in no time at all. Top them with sweet cinnamon buttercream icing for the perfect autumn treat!

I’m going to be making your pumpkin icebox cake to take to my family’s Thanksgiving this year! And there is pureed pumpkin in that recipe 🙂 I might make your whole wheat pumpkin muffins with the leftover pumpkin puree – I love those, and I like giving them to my almost 1 year old (wahhh) daughter, too! Either those or some baked pumpkin oatmeal – yum.
Oh my gosh! I meant for the note about the purée to be below the puppy chow not the icebox cake! Thank you!! I’ll update the post when I get home!
We make those pumpkin muffins at least once a month! Normally my daughter convinces me to add chocolate chips 🙂 They are a favorite of hers.
I’m making your pumpkin icebox cake Thursday! I made your lemon one this summer and it was a huge hit!
I have friends who live in Boone, not sure how far out you are but Stick Boy Bread Co. for quick pastries, coffee, etc. or Sunrise Grill for casual brunch are both highly recommended! It will be chilly but a weekend in the mountains always screams “FALL” to me-have a great time!
