From these Easy Pumpkin Bars to Pumpkin Bread Pudding to boozy Pumpkin Pudding Shots, there is something for everyone on this list of delicious pumpkin desserts!

If you’re looking for pumpkin desserts other than pie, you’ve come to the right place. We love pumpkin pie, but like to change things up now and then.

Why We Love These Desserts with Pumpkin

Pumpkin is just synonymous with fall. Living in Florida, we know it’s fall when Starbucks starts serving those pumpkin spice lattes and our grocery stores have pumpkin spice everything on the shelves.

We love the flavor of pumpkin, but did you know it’s a pretty healthy ingredient, too? It’s actually rich in vitamins and minerals.

Looking for an antioxidant boost? Look no further than pumpkin! It helps to lower your risk for some cancers, helps improve your eyesight and heart health.

What’s more, pumpkin is very low in calories and high in fiber, making you feel full so you’ll (hopefully!) eat less.

Is Fresh Pumpkin Better Than Canned?

That’s a debate that may never be settled! Some prefer canned pumpkin and some prefer fresh. When comparing, I think it depends a lot on the spices.

Many canned pumpkin companies have that spice mix down to a science. Honestly, I haven’t been able to recreate it with fresh! If you have a favorite mixture of spices, please let us know and we’ll give it a go!

Whether you’re using canned pumpkin or fresh, you’ll love these delicious fall desserts.
