These bars are a great combination of pumpkin pie and cheesecake swirled all together. Plus the crust uses a yellow cake mix so it's also easy to make.
Grab a Bundt cake pan for this one! Unbeknownst to many the flavor of pumpkin and chocolate DO go together. And the glaze on top? Heavenly.
How about a can of canned pumpkin in pasta? Yes, you can make it savory. It amps up the fiber and makes for a filling dish. This one is cheesy with a fun crispy topping.
I created this show stopper of a cheesecake back in 2018 and it continues to be a fan favorite each Fall. The addition of salty cashews in the crust and topping, plus sweet caramel makes these creamy pumpkin cheesecake hard to resist.
You know how Texas has a popular sheet cake? Well, Iowa has one too. At least according to me! You'll be surprised by one of the ingredients in this cake.
There are three fun layers to this classic dessert, but trust me when I say it's easy to make. I like keeping this one in the fridge for a cool treat. Be sure to top it with some whipped cream when serving!
My friend Kristin came up with these delicious pumpkin whoopie pies. I love the addition of the cinnamon spiced center filling. And talk about a fun treat to bring to a Fall party!
I love a good short cut recipe! This one uses a yellow cake mix as the base. Then it gets topped with a fun streusel topping before baking. People will never realize how easy they are!
Pumpkin bread is classic and I baked this exact recipe up last week. Is there really anyone you can resist a slice? Hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice all in a soft, moist bread.
I made this recipe #1 as it's been so incredibly popular since 2012. Everyone who makes them is shocked that you can bake a cinnamon roll without any yeast. This one is so fun!
Which recipe are you trying first?
I've got the cinnamon rolls on tap first, then the cream cheese bars second. And for sure the caramel cashew cheesecake on slate for Thanksgiving.
I'd love for you to share this post to your social feeds! Everyone likes to use up a whole can of pumpkin.
