Don’t you dare let fall pass you by without trying these 10 Must-Have Gluten-Free Pumpkin Recipes!

Did someone say “pumpkin season?!”

Though typically not ones to fall for the hype, we can’t help but get on the ‘everything pumpkin’ train when the days start getting shorter and the mornings start off crisp and cool. From sweet treats perfect for entertaining to healthy nibbles to tuck into lunchboxes to satisfying smoothies and coffee drinks to start the day, there’s something for everyone with these 10 must-have gluten-free pumpkin recipes.

We’ve even included a few egg-free, nut-free, grain-free and vegan options so now you have no excuse not to get on board with pumpkin everything!

These 10 Must-Have Gluten-Free Pumpkin Recipes have something for everyone – from sweet treats to healthy nibbles and more. #realfood Click To Tweet

 

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Spice Scones

A gluten-free scone featuring the flavors of fall that’s light and fluffy and just sweet enough to hit the spot – perfect for nibbling with coffee or tea.

Paleo Pumpkin Pie Bars

What could be better than delicious layers of pecan almond crust, low-sugar pumpkin pie filling and topped with a coconut butter drizzle, toasted pecans and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice? Pretty much nothing. These bars are the real deal when you want all the flavors of pumpkin pie without the fuss of making a pie.

Paleo Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips

Nothing says fall like a loaf of cinnamon-y sweet pumpkin bread studded with pecans and chocolate chips. This grain-free pumpkin chocolate chip bread is the perfect accompaniment to a hot cup of coffee or tea. Keep a few slices in the freezer for when friends drop by for easy entertaining.

Pumpkin Pie Truffles

No tricks here – just tasty little treats – with these healthier Pumpkin Pie Truffles. With a creamy nut butter-based filling and a sprinkling of coarse sea salt on top, these sweet bites can be made vegan by using dairy-free chocolate chips for the dark chocolate coating.

Soft Pumpkin Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting

These big, soft pumpkin and spice cookies with creamy vanilla cream cheese frosting are made without gluten or eggs so now you can have your cookie and eat it too.

Pumpkin Spice Butter Coffee

Forget the sugary, overpriced PSLs and opt instead for this low-sugar fall-inspired pick-me-up that you can make at home instead. Using real pumpkin, instead of flavored syrup, adds a little fiber and vitamin A to your daily cuppa. Replace the butter or ghee with coconut oil to make it vegan.

No-Bake Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Granola Bars

These no-bake granola bars are infused with antioxidant rich pumpkin, flavored with pumpkin pie spice and studded with chocolate chips. They’re the perfect pre-workout fuel, grab-and-go breakfast, lunchbox addition or afternoon treat.

Pumpkin Spice Granola

Most granolas rely on just pumpkin spice to evoke the flavors of fall but ours uses real pumpkin puree plus pumpkin spice to deliver true pumpkin flavor. Sprinkle it over yogurt, add a splash of your favorite milk or just snack on it right from the jar.

Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies

These kid-friendly, mom-approved cookies are an easy and healthy way to start the day. Plus they’re nut-free and egg-free so they’re perfect for allergy-aware classrooms.

Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie

This cool and creamy smoothie is just like pumpkin pie with whipped cream, but it’s totally acceptable for breakfast because it’s packed with protein and healthy fats. For an added nutrient bonus, throw in a handful of spinach and blend your way to dessert-inspired bliss.

    Ok, I want to make all of these – like NOW! They all sound so good I can’t decide where to start! Only problem is my hubby is not a huge pumpkin fan so I end up eating them all myself unless I find people to share with or I freeze part. I’m hanging on to summer as long as I can but pumpkin is calling my name! Thanks for a great list to kick off the season! Love your recipes, BTW! I’ve made many!

    Wow thanks for these awesome recipes!! My wife and I are eager to try them out. Right now she’s on the Keto Diet (www.my28daydiet.com) and I think that these gluten-free recipes would work with that. Thanks again and much love!

    This recipe was so good– I have now had 4 or 5 Thanksgivings trying to make something for my son with celiac disease. His favorite part of Thanksgiving has always been the pumpkin pie, but I just couldn’t get one that worked with the crust. This flour mix is amazing and I made your recipe just the way you wrote it. He was so happy and took some home to his roommates who are vegan! Thank you for developing this recipe.
