Craving fall flavors? Discover a tasty collection of vegan pumpkin recipes perfect for autumn. These dishes will satisfy your pumpkin cravings.

Introduction

Since the local newspaper had some pumpkin recipes in a recent Sunday edition, I made chocolate chip pumpkin bread and pumpkin mac and cheese. They weren’t as pretty as the bloggers’, but they were still good anyway.

If you love fall recipes or pumpkin, try these vegan pumpkin recipes today, including but not limited to the following.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
Pumpkin Hummus
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins

2. Pumpkin Hummus

Some veggies that taste great with hummus include but are not limited to carrots, celery, sliced cucumbers, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, mini sweet peppers, and cauliflower.

Have some veggies with some pumpkin hummus from Purely Kaylie.

3. Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins

Almost every time I go to Natural Grocers, I buy Abe’s mini chocolate chip and blueberry muffins because they are too delicious to pass up.

If you like muffins too, I recommend making some chocolate chip pumpkin muffins with the help of Six Vegan Sisters.

4. Pumpkin Sage Arancini

Arancini are Italian rice balls. Try some vegan pumpkin sage arancini from Romy London.

5. Pumpkin Mac and Cheese Bake

This pumpkin mac and cheese bake is the first homemade mac and cheese I ever made besides out of a box, and it is pretty good. Vegan Richa also has many vegan Indian recipes.

For more inspiration, please read my blog post on vegan mac and cheese recipes.

6. Pumpkin Donuts

I’m getting a donut baking pan soon to make apple cider donuts. After that, I should make these pumpkin donuts from plant.well.

If you like apples, please read my vegan apple blog post.

7. Pumpkin Challah Bread

I will eventually make a blog post on vegan Jewish recipes for Hanukkah. Until then, enjoy this pumpkin challah bread from Domestic Gothess.

8. Pumpkin Pancakes

One of my siblings loves having chocolate chip pancakes. If you like pancakes as well, try these pumpkin pancakes from Karissa’s Vegan Kitchen.

9. Pumpkin Cookies

I don’t get the point of getting kids to believe in Santa Claus. After all, why would it ever be okay to let some old bearded man break into our homes and eat our cookies and milk in exchange for some presents?

No matter what you think of Santa, all cookie lovers should try these pumpkin cookies from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken and bake more vegan cookie recipes.

10. Pumpkin Pie

The most stereotypical fall recipe is pumpkin pie. Make some pumpkin pie from The Banana Diaries.

11. Pumpkin Scones

Who likes tea with scones? Have some pumpkin scones from Home-Cooked Roots.

12. Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls

I’m surprised that pumpkin spice isn’t made out of pumpkin. Instead, it’s just a spice blend for pumpkin pie. One way you can use it is by making pumpkin spice cinnamon rolls from Choosing Chia.

If this sounds good, here are additional pumpkin spice recipes.

13. Pumpkin Spice Waffles

Another idea is to make pumpkin spice waffles from Orchids + Sweet Tea. You’ll also need pumpkin puree to make them, not just pumpkin spice.

14. Pumpkin Biscoff Cupcakes

I don’t get why so many people like Biscoff cookies. Either way, you should bake some pumpkin Biscoff cupcakes from Allergylicious.

Truffles are one of many types of candy. Try some pumpkin truffles from Running on Real Food.

16. Gingersnap Pumpkin Cream Tart

Fall is one of the best times of the year for casseroles and bakes. Make this pumpkin potato bake from ElaVegan.

Even though Rusty hardly ever eats dog treats due to being a picky eater, many dogs enjoy them. If your dog likes pumpkin, make these pumpkin peanut butter dog treats from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken.

22. Pumpkin Alfredo Pasta

When I was a kid, boxed fettuccine Alfredo was one of my family’s go-to pasta dishes. If that is up your alley, try some pumpkin Alfredo from Choosing Chia.

23. Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl

One of my cousins is convinced that smoothie bowls are super aesthetic and pretty. No matter if you agree, make this pumpkin pie smoothie bowl from Purely Kaylie.

Here are more vegan smoothie recipes.

24. Carrot Pumpkin Soup

Another yummy orange veggie is a carrot. Make carrot pumpkin soup from Domestic Gothess.

Also, check out my vegan carrot blog post.

25. Pumpkin Pudding

I like pudding, but I haven’t had much since going vegan because most store-bought ones contain dairy and gelatin. One homemade option is this pumpkin pudding from Cozy Peach Kitchen.

26. Pumpkin Pie Fudge

My paternal grandpa used to make the best fudge. If that sounds good, have some pumpkin pie fudge from Running on Real Food.

27. Pumpkin Curry

Since pumpkins originated in Mexico, nobody makes traditional Indian curries out of pumpkin. However, if you like making your favorite dishes pumpkin-flavored, create some pumpkin curry from Rainbow Plant Life.

28. Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Cupcakes

Everything tastes better with chocolate, besides pickles, of course. Make some pumpkin spice chocolate cupcakes from Six Vegan Sisters.

29. Pumpkin Cake

Everyone with a fall birthday deserves a slice of pumpkin cake. Bake a vegan pumpkin cake with the help of The Banana Diaries.

Don’t worry. There are way more vegan cake flavors besides pumpkin.

30. Pumpkin Spice Monkey Bread

Monkey bread has a mind of its own, probably because you’re supposed to eat it as a monkey would. Try some pumpkin spice monkey bread from 86 Eats.

31. Homemade Pumpkin Puree

If you want to be a baking expert, you should know how to make pumpkin puree. DIY pumpkin puree with the help of Vanilla And Bean.

32. Pumpkin Smokey Tempeh Chili

One of the best things to make in a crockpot is chili. Here is some pumpkin chili from My Darling Vegan.

33. Pumpkin Ravioli

I tried some vegan ravioli from Natural Grocers, but I was not too fond of it. Maybe I’ll like Bianca Zapatka’s pumpkin ravioli.

34. Pumpkin Falafel Bowl

I was excited when I first found pumpkin falafel on Pinterest because falafel is my favorite food. Then, I got salty because that food blogger decided to make it with eggs. How rude of them.

Luckily, Nourishing Amy saved the day with this pumpkin falafel bowl, so I stopped being bitter momentarily until I found the next yummy-looking dish that wasn’t vegan.

35. Pumpkin Roll

If you like Little Debbie Swiss Rolls, here is a recipe for you. Try this pumpkin roll from Nora Cooks.

36. Pumpkin Mug Cake

I should make mug recipes because the only one eating desserts in my house is me unless my cats try sneaking a bite out of one. Here is a pumpkin mug cake recipe from Running on Real Food.

37. Pumpkin Cheesecake Parfait

In 2020, McDonald’s discontinued their fruit and yogurt parfait due to the pandemic, and there is a good chance they won’t bring it back. Fortunately, we can make parfaits at home, like this pumpkin cheesecake parfait from Allergylicious.

38. Pumpkin Pecan Babka

In addition to challah, another Jewish bread is babka. Try some pumpkin pecan babka from Domestic Gothess.

39. Pumpkin Soup

If you don’t have any carrots in your fridge, pumpkin soup is good too. Make some pumpkin soup from Home-Cooked Roots.

Here are more soup recipes.

40. Chocolate Pumpkin Bars

Bars are perfect for potlucks and tailgates. Bake a batch of chocolate pumpkin bars with the help of ElaVegan.

41. Pumpkin Stuffed French Toast

I don’t get the appeal of French toast and why it’s better than regular old toast. Either way, here is some pumpkin stuffed French toast from Karissa’s Vegan Kitchen.

42. Pumpkin Ricotta Stuffed Shells

Many like to have stuffed foods, so why not stuffed pasta? Try some pumpkin ricotta stuffed shells from Rainbow Plant Life.

43. Baked Spaghetti Squash with Pumpkin

One way to cut carbs and calories in meal prep is by replacing spaghetti noodles with spaghetti squash. If you like this idea, I highly recommend trying this baked spaghetti squash with pumpkin from Spoon Fork Bacon.

44. Chocolate Pumpkin Swirl Brownies

Who likes brownies? Then bake some pumpkin swirl brownies from Nourishing Amy.

45. Pumpkin Spice Latte

I’ve seen a decent amount of commercials on pumpkin spice lattes, and I would never drink one because I wouldn’t say I like coffee. If that sounds good, make a vegan pumpkin spice latte from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken.

46. Sage Pumpkin Gnocchi

I once tried making gnocchi, and it didn’t taste that good, probably because I made it incorrectly. Maybe you’ll have better luck making this pumpkin gnocchi from My Darling Vegan.

47. Pumpkin Butter

When I made pumpkin cinnamon rolls, the blogger told me how to make pumpkin butter within the recipe. Make some pumpkin butter from Vanilla And Bean.

48. Pumpkin Mochi Bars

I'm familiar with mochi because there is a decent amount of mochi ice cream in the freezer section. I recommend trying these pumpkin mochi bars from Nuts About Greens if you like mochi.
