Contrary to somewhat popular belief, canned pumpkin puree isn’t just for pumpkin pie (that’d be pumpkin pie filling, which is totally different!). In fact, it’s an easy, wholesome way to add creaminess and fall flavor to just about anything, sweet or savory—and it can even lend moisture, serving as a replacement for oil in baked goods. Plus, it’s an excellent source of Vitamin A (one can has 250% of what you need in a day!) and a good source of fiber, too. From pumpkin hummus to grain-free brownies, here are seven healthy recipes that take advantage of canned pumpkin puree.
Pumpkin Pie ParfaitsBecause of the brilliant technique that is coconut whipped cream, these gluten-free pumpkin pie parfaits from The Minimalist Baker also happen to be vegan and dairy free. |
No-Bake Pumpkin Energy BitesDetoxinista‘s Megan Gilmore feeds these coconut, date, sunflower seed and pumpkin energy bites to her family on long flights, but we think they’d make delicious pre-workout snacks or afternoon work bites, too. |
Pumpkin Chia Pudding with Nuts and Fruits“You can actually mix almost everything with soaked chia seeds and it will turn out interesting, textured, and nourishing,” Ana of The Awesome Green argued. We can’t disagree with that statement—especially when it comes with a recipe for pumpkin chia pudding! |
Savory Pumpkin HummusIf the Internet can get into beet hummus, white bean hummus and avocado hummus, then why not get behind a pumpkin hummus, like this one from As Easy as Apple Pie? |
Slow-Cooker Pumpkin Pie OatmealThanks to Eating Bird Food‘s pumpkin-flavored steel-cut overnight oats recipe, autumn lovers can wake up to the warm aroma of pumpkin pie for breakfast. |
Quick Pumpkin CurryCanned pumpkin is a nice complement to the nutty flavor of coconut milk—plus, it adds an extra boost of fiber. For Detoxinista‘s super-speedy curry recipe, you can use any veggies (even frozen vegetables!) that you have on hand. |
Fudgy Pumpkin Paleo BrowniesThese thick, rich brownies from Ambitious Kitchen are sweetened with maple syrup and get their moisture not from traditional canola oil, but from canned pumpkin puree. |

Wow, its very cool! It shoked me, because I didn’t even know that there are so many things you can do with a pumpkin, it’s very cool. Ilove pumpkin so much. I recently bought a lot of pumpkin at a discount and I really liked the idea of making pumpkin curry or pumpkin hummus, it must be so interesting. I had never heard of pumpkin hummus before. I’m just a big fan of hummus and everything healthy, so the first thing I do is make myself such a delicious snack. Thank you! I will try it, really)
