There are so many delicious ways to enjoy pumpkin! These grain free, gluten free pumpkin desserts are lovely.
Pumpkin is one of the flavors of fall for good reason – There are so many delicious ways to enjoy it! Whether you are looking for a grain-free pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bars or a dairy free pumpkin spice latte, there are some lovely, favorite recipes shared below. They are making me ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Am I the only one that can’t believe that the holiday season is upon us? Where has this year gone? We are looking forward to the holidays, and our recent cold weather has helped get us into the spirit of the season.
As I was looking through the many recipes shared by myself and others here on The Nourishing Gourmet, I realized that there are a lot of beautiful, grain free pumpkin recipes, and that it would be fun to share them in a post altogether as a resource for you all.

Meanwhile, I have some pumpkin puree to use, and it’s hard to decide what to make first!
Easy Peasy Pumpkin Puree (using a slow cooker): Speaking of which, if you are looking to make homemade pumpkin puree, I recommend this recipe as a really easy method!
Pumpkin Pie Stuffed Apples: This is one of the newest recipes on the blog, shared by Natalie, and I love how creative and clever it is! No crust needed as the apples themselves create an edible dish to serve pumpkin pie in. How fun is that?
Pumpkin Spice Cranberry No Bake Cookies: Pumpkin Spice cookies are studded with cranberries for a very allergy-friendly, yummy cookie that doesn’t even need an oven.
Streusel Pumpkin Pie (grain free, dairy free): This is a popular grain free pumpkin pie recipe that you will glad to see is easy to make as well!
Another option for pumpkin pie filling is this recipe for Maple and Honey Sweetened Pumpkin Pie. It makes an amazing filling, just use a grain free crust, like the above recipe, for a delicious pumpkin pie. Maple Honey Pumpkin Pie (with coconut milk)
Pumpkin Mousse Parfaits: But why limit yourself to pie? These beautiful dairy free, grain free Pumpkin Mousse Parfaits are as beautiful as they are delicious! Thinking outside the box this holiday season is fun too.
Pumpkin Bars: What I love about making bars is that they are a more portable, easy dessert to make and serve. These grain free pumpkin bars would make a great kid-friendly addition.
Nourishing Pumpkin Spice Creamer: No need to buy coffee creamer (often full of so much junk!) when you can make your own using simple recipes like this one! You can use whole milk or coconut milk in this recipe.
Paleo Pumpkin Spice Latte: Speaking of coffee, this is a really yummy (and popular!) recipe for a dairy free pumpkin spice latte that is so delicious! I find it much more satisfying than those I’ve gotten out.
Pumpkin Chai Tea Latte: Don’t enjoy coffee? You can still enjoy a “latte” by using chai tea! I find that the spices of chai go perfectly with pumpkin, and so they marry well in this creamy dairy free drink.
Of course, many of these recipes are made even better when topped with whipped cream!
Maple Whipped Cream: If you can handle dairy, I recommend trying out this Maple Whipped Cream. It is SO good, and it’s lightly and naturally sweetened too.
Coconut Whipped Cream: If you can’t have dairy, coconut whipped cream is an amazing alternative! We love it. You can see my regular Vanilla Whipped Cream recipe here and my Stevia Sweetened Coconut Whipped Cream recipe here.
