Everyone loves a good pumpkin recipe, but what makes these the best of the best? These pumpkin baking ideas are:

  • Full of pumpkin flavor. Warm and pleasant, sweet and spicy – my pumpkin recipes do not fall in all the classic flavors we know and love.

Tips for cooking with pumpkin

Some extra guidance when turning pumpkin into the best fall treats:

  • You can use canned or homemade – sort of. Most pumpkin recipes will turn out just as great with fresh pumpkin puree made from scratch as with canned pumpkin. However, the taste and texture of fresh pumpkin can vary, so this is something to keep in mind when baking. Pumpkin pies, for example, usually turn out best when made with reliable, canned pumpkin.
  • Speaking of canned pumpkin… Boxed pumpkin puree is not the same as canned pumpkin pie filling. If your recipe calls for canned pumpkin, make sure you use the right ingredient!
  • Substituting pumpkin for eggs, oil or butter: You can substitute 1/4 cup pumpkin puree for one egg in most baking recipes. You can also substitute a tablespoon of pumpkin puree instead of oil/butter.
  • Bake thoroughly. Because the pumpkin is so moist, it’s important to keep an eye on the baked goods while they’re in the oven, and after they come out. Make sure the centers are not still raw/rubbery after baking.
  • Pumpkin puree substitutes: Out of pumpkin puree? Or maybe you forgot to add it to your shopping list, or you’re just looking for something else. Good alternatives to pumpkin are mashed sweet potatoes, canned sweet potatoes or butternut squash. These can be replaced 1:1 with pumpkin puree in most recipes!
