I promise.
I promise that, after Thanksgiving, I will put the pumpkin away for the rest of the year (at least as far as blog recipes are concerned).
Until that time, here’s a look back at all of the pumpkin-y goodness with which I’ve bombarded you these last two months:
Come June and July, I will still be eating this breakfast cereal. It is much too delicious to stay away until Fall comes around again.
This is a good recipe to bring to parties. The bars always disappear quickly!
Just like regular peanut butter, this recipe is good on toast or muffins, mixed into oatmeal, or just eaten straight from the jar.
Single-Serving Chocolate-Chip Muffin
Lock your doors and draw the shades. This muffin is not for sharing.
When I brought this to a party, even people who said they didn’t like pumpkin kept coming back for more of this addictive dip.
A much healthier version of the giant skillet “cookie pizzas” made famous by BJ’s Brewhouse.
Chocolate Pumpkin-Pie Brownies
Sweet pumpkin, rich chocolate, and creamy vanilla. What more could you possibly ask for? Except maybe a fork. And a napkin.
Delicious chocolate cookie balls, with a soft pumpkin center.
It’s like biting into a warm pumpkin-oatmeal cookie. For breakfast.
Question of the Day:
Do you have any favorite pumpkin recipes?
Feel free to leave links.
I hope you’ll save room for just one more pumpkin recipe on my blog: pumpkin pie! Not just any pumpkin pie, though. After all, this is a chocolate-covered blog…
I was a big fan of your pumpkin bars, also I have another slightly different also delicious bar recipe I use:

Another pumpkin love of mine are shakes, yum!

Your other pumpkin recipes are on my to make list!
Please DON’T put away the pumpkin recipes!! I could eat the stuff all year long. And it’s SO good for you!
This time of year I never tire of pumpkin. My mom always has made the yummiest mini pumpkin muffins. We have an old video of one of my slumber parties from my childhood. In it, a friend of mine keeps going up to the camera, announcing which number pumpkin muffin she was about to eat. I think she had about 20 of them. So funny. I guess you’d have to see it.
Nooo, pumpkin please don’t leave me! I just found out how amazing it is this year, and now you’re already going away? So not fair 🙁
Great roundup!
Do you have any favorite pumpkin recipes? = Yes I have “a few” things I made this year that are pumpkin. People seem to like my peanut butter and pumpkin oatmeal bars. Already vegan and GF and easy.
And I made a pumpkin dip I love.
All your stuff looks…soo good, Katie!
it seems as though we have similar taste, I put canned pumpkin in just about everything! I’m actually surprised I haven’t turned orange yet. I’ve made everything from pumpkin donuts, pumpkin french toast, pumpkin spice latte, and many more – ALL Gluten-free 🙂
I say bring on the pumpkin! Anyone who doesn’t like pumpkin in all seasons (at least a bit!) is not a person for me! ha ha.
Yes, I DO have a brand new favorite pumpkin recipe (although I have many…I am kind of a squash freak)—pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I made some a week or so ago and ohhhh myyy! The kids I watch love them (as do the parents) and I am still munching on them. Super-simple, super-easy and super-delicious!
Which reminds me…heading to the fridge right now for a late-night pumpkin snack!
I don’t put away the pumpkin until after Christmas…and thank goodness I still have some extra time because I need to make those pumpkin bars!
Here in Ireland, they don’t sell things like canned pumpkin generally, but some speciality food stores do import brands like Libbys, which is great but it is all so expensive! For a box of Lucky Charms in these stores, it costs around €12 or $16.50! Crazy! But you can’t get them anywhere else… they also sell Aunt Jemimas and other favourties like that 🙂
Oh wow, that’s ridiculous! When I was in China, apple cinnamon cheerios were $11 USD, and I thought that was bad!
I have been craving pumpkin pie like crazy lately. Yay pumpkin!
Katie, this is such a great way to have all of the pumpkin recipes together! In fact I may have missed a couple of them. Thanks!
This really has nothing to do with this post, but…. This morning, I woke up at 6am and wanted one thing and one thing only: Genius Blondies. Now, I am trying to decide what is worse: the fact that I made said Genius Blondies and have eaten them for breakfast and lunch or the fact that I have no idea what I am going to have for dinner but I am ok with that because I still have half a pan of said blondies in my kitchen. 🙂
Awww lol this made me smile so much! You are too funny!!
Some recipes I’ve made using pumpkin is:

The rest are all your pumpkin recipes! I’ve yet to try some of them, but the chocolate pumpkin brownies are soooo fudgy! I absolutely 100% loved them!
Good idea to put these all together, Katie!! Soon you may have to make a whole new website – all dedicated to pumpkins .. But then you might need another one just for chocolate recipes lol, so, on second thought, maybe not 😛 😛 . On that note, do you think you might possibly make a new category/tab, with all your savoury recipes on?? I have used a couple of your main meal recipes, but find them a little hard to find at times, and would like to use them more often – they look and sound great!!
This year is the first time I’ve ever tried ((and heard of!!)) canned pumpkin, and now I have already make your Chocolate Pumpkin-Pie Brownies, hot Pumpkin Cereal and a Pumpkin Boatmeal!! .. is it obvious I like pumpkin??!! It’s all thanks to you, Miss Katie .. Thank you!!
Actually, this is the first time I have had pumpkin at-all :O :O !! I do have a small pumpkin in the kitchen – a “Munchkin” pumpkin!! Not really sure what I want to do with it yet but I do know that I want it in a savoury dish, but not soup – I like chunks!! Might you have any suggestions??
Oohh, long comment, sorry about that!!
Anyways, be back soon ((awaiting your next pumpkin-y treat!! I’ve never had pumpkin pie before – we don’t really have it here in the UK..))
Take care, Katie!! 🙂 🙂 , Pumpkin-and-Chocolate-covered wishes,

I’m trying to better organize them. It’s a long and difficult process!
As for pumpkin… ooh, do a stuffed pumpkin! Those always look so festive. (If you need an idea for filling, I really like my bread-free vegan stuffing. But any stuffing recipe would do.)
Thanks for the link 🙂 🙂 .
Hmmm, yes, it is, isn’t it. I can’t seem to find the motivation to sort out my own site at the moment 🙁 🙁 – I have so much to put on it, too..
Oohh, that sounds like a great idea!! I will plan to do this, right after I receive my next Veg Box on Monday 🙂 🙂 ((I love getting Veg Boxes!!)) I think I will go with your stuffing recipe!!
Thank you again,
Jade C.
Well I usually don’t have any trouble at all using up canned pumpkin but these amazing recipes give me an excuse (and a darn good legit reason) to buy some more. 🙂
My great-grandma’s pumpkin bread is my all-time favorite pumpkin recipe 🙂 I love the thought of your pumpkin peanut butter though! One of my latest favorites is spreading whole wheat bagels with almond butter and pumpkin butter 🙂
