Fall has arrived, and with it comes all of the pumpkin spice-flavored foods you could ever want. While all of your favorite stores are stocking up on this seasonal flavor, why not bring some of it into your own home with some homemade recipes? You might think Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Lattes or pumpkin bread is good, but they’re even better when they’re DIY.
This ain’t your mama’s (or Starbucks’) pumpkin bread. This recipe is super moist and totally do-able. You can add chocolate chips to make it sweeter, or walnuts for a more savory taste. This bread is perfect to eat toasted with cream cheese for breakfast, or even as dessert after a long day!
2. Pumpkin Soup
With fall just getting into full swing, the cold weather will be coming soon, and cold weather means eating soup in a sweater.What better way to get into fall than making pumpkin soup? This recipe adds coconut and thai spices to add a twist to a traditional squash soup.
Pasta with pumpkin may not sound like the most complimentary pairing, but the sweetness of pumpkin with some savory components makes a great meal. This sauce is simple and creamy and works with all pasta types, so get ready to have a go-to, easy dinner you’ll find yourself making all too often.

Not only do these doughnuts use pumpkin, but they’re a healthy version of a delicious pastry. These baked doughnuts are easy to make, taste sweet and are a great fall treat. Normally doughnuts are fried, but these doughnuts work well baked and are way easier to make!

Last, but certainly not least: pumpkin waffles. There’s no better way to add a little fall to your Sunday mornings. The recipe is basically normal waffles but with pumpkin added in. You can’t ask for a more “fall” flavor than maple syrup with pumpkin.
