The most iconic fall flavor, pumpkin, can be turned into practically any kind of dessert! Cookies, bars, pies, cheesecakes, and even ice cream all get better with a little pumpkin spice.

So without further ado, here are all my favorite pumpkin dessert recipes. Of course, all of these recipes are vegetarian, and many are vegan-friendly too! Before you start baking, grab a few cans of pumpkin (or make your own pumpkin puree) and a jar of pumpkin pie spice, and you’ll be ready for any recipe on this list.
