Pumpkin Recipes
As you may know, I do like to cook with the children – or at least try to! I also like to try out new recipes. This October we have a “date” with “Uncle” for some pumpkin carving. And being a “non wasteful” so and so, I thought it would be a good idea to check out what yummy recipes are out there for us try out!
Whilst I have your attention, you may also love this great collection of Free Halloween Printables.. to pop over and check them out!!
The recipes below are a mixture of “canned pumpkin” and fresh pumpkin recipes (I have always marked which it is). You can usually replace the canned with freshly cooked fresh pumpkin without too much problems, just cook it, drain it and be sure to adjust any fluids you add (add a bit less…).
I can’t vouch for any of recipes (we haven’t tried them YET), but the majority come recommended by other bloggers and they all look great! Will you be inspired to get pumpkin carving AND cooking this October?
SAVOURY & MAIN COURSES
Pumpkin Puree
I am starting with this recipe, so that you can make your own Pumpkin Puree to replace and Canned Pumpkins in some of the recipes below. This is thanks to The Pioneer Woman.
Fresh Pumpkin
Curried Pumpkin Soup
We do love making soup – it is easy and it something that the kids can help with (in fact we have a very similar Carrot Soup on Life At The Zoo). I think The Boy would enjoy making this! This recipe is from All You.
Sausage Pumpking and Sage Casserole
From the BBC Food website (usually a safe bet). My kids love sausages. They also like chopping things. Casseroles TEND to not need to be chopped to neatly. So maybe this is something for us? Hope so! Might also be something for those of you who like slow cookers!
Fresh Pumpkin
Spicy Pumpkin Chowder (Diary Free)
This recipe has the added benefit that it is Diary Free. I can’t wait to try this one out, as I know that Aly from Plus.2.4. knows her cooking “stuff” and I love chowders!
Fresh Pumpkin
Hubble Bubble Pumpkin Pot
A rice based dish that sounds wonderful (looks like pumpkins really do go well with rice!). This one is from BBC Good Food and was recommend by Alice Ready.
Pumpkin & Rice Slow Cooker Casserole
Another recipe from Aly at Point 2.4. She uses a slow cooker to make this. I am so keen to get a slow cooker – the food is meant to taste delicious and it reduces your time in the kitchen.
Fresh Pumpkin
Pumpkin Risotto
Risotto is another firm favourite of mine. Seems like you can add almost anything and make it tasty. Fantastic. This recipe is via BBC Good Food! Recommended by A Bavarian Sojourn.
Fresh Pumpkin
Pumpkin Curry
We Brits do love a good curry – so this Pumpkin Curry sounds hugely promising! Here Come The Girls shares her recipe!
Fresh or Canned Pumpkin
Pumpkin & Chicken Meatball Curry
And then there is THIS curry. Also makes my mouth water with pumpkin delight anticipation. From Family Fresh Cooking.
Canned Pumpkin
Pumpkin Pasta and Bacon
A little different from all of the other recipes is this pumpkin pasta and bacon shared by Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice.
Canned Pumpkin
Pumpkin Bread
Not sure if this counts as savoury or sweet. I guess it is a bit of both? From The Food Network and comes highly recommended by
Fresh Pumpkin

Canned Pumpkin
Pumpkin Bar Pumpkins
My goodness, how cute and tasty do these little treats look? Well they sure are Toddler Approved. Go check them out.
Canned Pumpkin
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yum, what isn’t to like about anything with chocolate chip in it. I think these may be top of my pumpkin baking list this year. Thanks to Dana Made It.
Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
Yet another mouth watering recipe. This time we have pumpkin cinnamon rolls with a caramel icing. This just smacks of “Fall” food. Wonderful. From Recipe Girl.
Pumpkin Walnut Squares
I do love walnuts, deliciously tasty, healthy and crunchy. Love the sound of these walnut squares by Bake Your Day!
Marshmallow and Pumpkin Bake
Perfect for any Halloween party a “Marshmallow and Pumpkin bake” by Chez Maximka. Fun!
Anyway! Hope you are inspired to get Pumpkin Cooking this Halloween! We are!

Thank you for adding my Scream. Love the selection of recipes, I have never tried pumpkin pancakes, but I will remedy this very soon. And the bread and sweet things look great too. And the sausage dish, actually all of them are fab.
Some great recipes here. We completely failed at growing some this year unfortunately so will have to buy them. Thanks for including my curry recipe.
