Make a pumpkin dessert or season your pumpkin seeds before roasting them. Here are some of my favorite pumpkin recipes, including cakes, a flan, bread pudding, brownies, and more.
11. Pumpkin Pudding
This pumpkin pudding is like a pumpkin pie without the crust. Enjoy pumpkin pudding with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar.
12. Filled Pumpkin Cookies
These soft pumpkin cookies are sandwiched together with cream cheese filling. If you're pressed for time, use purchased cream cheese frosting in place of the cream cheese filling.
13. Chocolate Pumpkin Cake
Cocoa and cinnamon pair with pumpkin to make a moist and rich chocolate Bundt cake. Frost this flavorful cake with an orange tinted vanilla icing or dust with powdered sugar.
14. Autumn Pumpkin Pie
A delicious pumpkin pie, spiced with ginger and cinnamon. Serve this pie with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with a little cinnamon or cinnamon-sugar.
15. Pumpkin Mini Cupcakes
Use homemade buttercream or cream cheese frosting for these tasty bite-size cakes. These cupcakes would be pretty on an autumn hors d'oeuvres tray.
16. Sugar and Spice Mini Pumpkins
Use these pumpkins to serve pumpkin pudding or custard, or fill the warm pumpkins with scoops of vanilla ice cream and serve immediately.

17. Pumpkin Pound Cake With Maple Pecan Glaze
Serve this delicious pumpkin pound cake with the included simple maple pecan glaze or dust it with powdered sugar. It's a delicious cake for Halloween or any other fall or winter holiday gathering. Also, feel free to leave the pecans out; it's delcious with or without.
18. Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie
A gingersnap crust gives this layered pumpkin pie extra spice flavor, but feel free to use a graham cracker or cookie crumb crust.
19. Cajun Spiced Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Double or triple this roasted pumpkin seed recipe, depending on how many cups of seeds you have. One large pumpkin will generally yield 1 cup or pumpkin seeds, and smaller pie pumpkins will yield about the same amount. Toss a salad with these seeds, sprinkle over a chicken dish, or serve as a snack.
