My favorite gluten free pumpkin recipes





It may still feel like summer, but it's officially fall and despite the warm temperatures I'm seeing pumpkins everywhere. What do I do when I see pumpkins? I think about all my wonderful seasonal pumpkin recipes. 


 

If you are in the pumpkin eating mood too, I'm sharing some of my favorite tried and true recipes. I like recipes that are health giving, easy, versatile and gluten free or grain free of course! Most of my recipes also meet Paleo standards.

Recipe #1

Kids of all ages love these pumpkin cakes. They are moist and delicious and provide a substantial amount of protein. And they are flourless, making them grain free. Pack one in a school lunchbag for a treat that is healthy and provides lots of real food nourishment.

It doesn't get easier than this pumpkin pie that is made in the blender! It's also grain free, vegan, healthy, and delicious. You can feel good when you know you are eating real food.

All my recipes meet gluten free or grain free standards and many are dairy free and Paleo as well. 

There are still many pumpkin recipes that I'm experimenting with and posting later this season: So be on the lookout for them.
  • pumpkin rice pudding, 
  • stuffed pumpkin 
  • pumpkin smoothies
  • Pumpkin cookies
  • Pumpkin Chili 
  • There is no end to the variety of pumpkin recipes that can be made for the season. I'll be posting more pumpkin recipes soon. 

Although pumpkin itself is a bland vegetable, pumpkin spices are outrageous and create a sensational taste sensation in pumpkin recipes. In addition, you can substitute cooked and mashed butternut squash or cooked and mashed sweet potato for most of the pumpkin in the recipes recipes- just don't omit the wonderful spices!

    1. You are so right. Just because something is suitable for people with gluten sensitivities to eat, it doesn't mean that everyone won't enjoy the recipe.

    1. I think it's difficult working with a real pumpkin because its time consuming to cook. Have you ever had canned pumpkin?

  7. Hi Judee, I think, I would be happy with any of these recipes. I have been cooking through fruits and veggies and I am up to broccoli, carrots and apple. I made a fabulous cabbage kugel and a cherry bread pudding, this morning. I hope to post them after the first days.
