22 Best Pumpkin Desserts To Bake This Fall

These are my top 22 pumpkin desserts you need to make this fall! All of these are perfect throughout the fall season, along with adding to your Thanksgiving dessert table.

Here you'll find pumpkin cookies, cupcakes, breakfast treats, and so much more! Let me know which one is your favorite.

How To Make Pumpkin Pie Spice

Before we dive into my favorite pumpkin desserts, I recommend you make your own pumpkin spice. This ingredient is used in almost all of my pumpkin desserts.

All you need to do is combine 3 tablespoons of cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of ginger, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, and a ½ teaspoon each of cloves and allspice.

Once combined, place into a jar or container.
