Delicious Gluten-Free Pumpkin Recipes for Fall Baking and Meals

Pumpkin season has arrived, and I’m excited to share a curated collection of my favorite gluten-free pumpkin recipes. From gluten-free pumpkin whoopie pies and cozy spiced muffins to adorable mini pumpkin pies, these recipes capture the comforting flavors of fall. Whether you’re baking for holidays or everyday treats, you’ll find simple, delicious ways to bring pumpkin spice into your kitchen.

Every recipe here uses canned pumpkin purée to keep baking quick and stress-free. Be sure to choose 100% pure pumpkin purée—not pumpkin pie filling—when shopping. Canned pumpkin is one small shortcut that preserves great flavor without sacrificing quality.

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice

Making your own pumpkin pie spice is easy, fresher, and more fragrant than store-bought blends. Mix a batch and keep it on hand to add warmth to muffins, lattes, cookies, oatmeal, and more.

  • 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves

Combine the spices and store them in a small jar or airtight container. It keeps for months, though you’ll likely use it up much sooner.
