Whether you're into pumpkin-spiced everything or just looking to expand your seasonal recipe repertoire, you'll want to check these fall-inspired favorites.

Eco-Chef's Tip 👩🏽‍🍳 It's easy to DIY zero-waste pumpkin puree by roasting or boiling the flesh or a whole pumpkin then pureeing until smooth using a  blender or food processor. You can even use the stringy guts — just remove the seeds first.

Maple-Glazed Pumpkin Donuts 

One of the best donut recipes we've ever tried. For real. These maple-frosted pumpkin donuts are gluten free, high in protein, and contain no refined sugar. 

Prep Tip 💡 Make the donuts ahead of time, without the glaze. Place them in your Stasher bag, seal, and store in the fridge. When you're ready to eat, add the glaze and serve.

Warming Pumpkin Smoothie

This delicious pumpkin smoothie isn't warm, but the spices will warm you up to match the mood of the season. Ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, and cardamom are known to help soothe and relieve GI issues, inflammation, and lower blood pressure. Cheers to your gut health!

Prep Tip 💡 Storing frozen ingredients in your Stasher bags makes smoothie prep a breeze.

Vegan Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins 

It doesn't get any healthier than these vegan, gluten-free seasonal muffins made with fresh pumpkin. But don't worry — making pumpkin puree from scratch is a lot easier than you think using Stasher Half Gallon bags.

Prep Tip 💡 When making the pumpkin puree, prepare extra to use for pie, bread, and other seasonal recipes.
