Pumpkin Spice Desserts are back for fall! From cookies to cheesecake, these recipes bring all the warm fall flavors straight to your kitchen.
The second the weather cools off, my kitchen basically turns into a pumpkin spice bakery. Between testing new recipes, retesting old ones, and baking just for fun, I’ve gone through more cans of pumpkin than I can admit. The best part? After all that experimenting, I know exactly which pumpkin desserts are worth your time.
What makes these recipes stand out is a mix of things:
- They’re approachable (no complicated steps or fancy ingredients).
- They actually taste as good as they look. Each one has been thoroughly tested to get the best balance of flavors and the perfect textures.
- They make your house smell incredible!
Some lean more indulgent, while others are lightened up with wholesome ingredients. But every single one of them has the cozy flavor that makes pumpkin desserts the MVP of fall.

These Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars begin with a cinnamon graham cracker crust, add two layers of creamy cheesecake, and finish with a streusel topping and caramel drizzle.

Pumpkin Pancakes are a weekend staple at my house once fall rolls around. They’re thick and fluffy, spiced just right, and they come together quickly, making them perfect for a warm breakfast when the weather starts to turn crisp.
7.
Pumpkin Scones

Top Tip For This Pumpkin Spice Dessert:
Keep the dough as cold as possible! This helps the scones turn out lighter and less dense.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Steamer
I first came across pumpkin steamers at Starbucks with my boys, and they were an instant hit. Now we make them at home all the time. They’re warm, creamy, and full of pumpkin spice flavor without the coffee. It’s one of those simple little treats we all look forward to in the fall.
9.
Healthy Pumpkin Bread
“I make pumpkin bread every year using a recipe that, while delicious, calls for lots of white sugar and oil. My son plays college football and misses that bread but eats much more healthy now. I made this today and HOLY MOLY. It’s fantastic. He won’t miss the other one AT ALL! Would be just as great without chocolate chips, too! I love that it’s healthier but still so very delicious. Thank you!” says a review from Jill.
