Sure, pumpkin pie is delicious—but don't limit yourself to just pumpkin desserts this fall. Pumpkin lends itself perfectly to savory dishes like soups, salads, pastas, and more. Our Pumpkin Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter is the ultimate comforting cold weather dish, while or Instant Pot Pumpkin Soup with Candied Pepitas is perfect for busy weeknights. What better way to top off a pumpkin-based entree than with a pumpkin-based dessert? We recommend our Pumpkin Cheesecake. More of a cake fan? Don't worry: There's something for everyone in our best pumpkin recipes collection.

Slow-Cooker Chicken Stew with Pumpkin and Wild Rice

Slow-Cooker Chicken Stew with Pumpkin and Wild Rice Recipe

This savory fall stew is filled with tender cubes of pumpkin, shredded chicken, and nutty wild rice in a creamy sauce. When choosing a pumpkin, look for a sugar or cheese pumpkin. Field pumpkins, which are larger in size, have watery, stringy flesh and are best used for decoration. Or substitute a butternut squash.

Chocolate Marble-Pumpkin Spice Bread

Linda Pugliese
Chocolate Marble-Pumpkin Spice Bread Recipe

A chocolate swirl adds a decadent twist to your usual loaf of pumpkin bread. These marbled loaves start with one basic batter that is flavored two different ways. Use a stand mixer to make the basic batter, then divide it into two bowls, and hand stir in the pumpkin and chocolate components to each bowl. This delicious recipe can be divided into eight 5 3⁄4- x 3 1⁄4-inch mini loaf pans. Bake the loaves as directed, but start testing for doneness after 25 minutes in the oven.

We developed two pumpkin-based fillings—one sweet and one savory—for these buttery hand pies, so they’re perfect for serving (alongside a goblet of pumpkin juice!) at any point during a Harry Potter inspired party. If you’re looking to save a little time and effort, you can certainly opt for prepared, refrigerated pie dough.

Yet another way to enjoy pumpkin spice this season. Gift these to friends as a festive treat, or enjoy them yourself with an autumnal beer. Make sure to use pure maple syrup, as pancake syrup will taste artificial and will likely overwhelm the spiced flavor.
