10 Best-Ever Pumpkin Desserts

The flavor you want, without a shred of guilt.

Forget “over the river and through the woods.” You can treat yourself, your family, and your guests to the delicious taste of fall in your own home with these 10 best-ever pumpkin desserts.

While we all enjoy pumpkin as a quintessential fall flavor, there’s more to this fruit than yumminess. Pumpkin is loaded with vitamin A, which supports healthy vision, especially in dim light situations. This lovely superfood also contains beta-carotene, an antioxidant that may destroy free radicals (bad cells) that trigger cancer. You’ll benefit from vitamin C in pumpkin recipes as well, an essential nutrient that helps boost the immune system.

With natural sweeteners, whole grains, and nutrient-rich ingredients, these best-ever pumpkin desserts can be part of a healthy lifestyle. Always check the serving sizes listed with each recipe. When it’s time to serve yourself, don’t eyeball the portion; instead measure it out. This makes sure you get the decadent indulgence you want without consuming too many extra calories.
