Cozy up with pumpkin in every form this season. From breakfast to dessert, these 42 easy vegan pumpkin recipes have you covered, with pastas, soups, salads, snacks, bakes and drinks. There's something for everyone!

We all know it's getting colder and gloomier outside. I have to admit I've never been the biggest fan of autumn, because I like long days, warm weather and the outdoors! However, one of the things I can appreciate about the colder months as a vegan foodie is, you guessed it - the foooood.
Pumpkin is one of my favorite things to cook and bake with at this time of year. There are so many varieties of winter squash, each one with a distinctive flavor, that you can use in sweet and savory recipes alike.
So, that's why I'm sharing these easy vegan pumpkin recipes. These are great for embracing seasonal change and provide plenty of inspiration for healthy vegan comfort food to enjoy on a cold evening. Every recipe on this list is 100% plant-based as written, and most of them come straight from our own Oh My Veggies kitchen, plus a few favorites from our sister site VegKitchen.
A few pumpkin pantry tips before you dive in: canned pumpkin works in almost every recipe here, but it's easy to make your own pumpkin puree from a roasted sugar pumpkin, too. A jar of organic pumpkin pie spice saves you from measuring out five different spices for the sweet recipes, and an immersion blender makes the creamy pumpkin soups a breeze, since you can blend them right in the pot.
Because honestly, pumpkin plays a role in a good 70% of my dinners this time of year, and I'm not complaining! From hearty mains and cozy soups to pancakes, pies and pumpkin spice lattes, here are our favorite easy vegan pumpkin recipes:
