10 Healthy Recipes with Pumpkin Puree

If you’re looking for healthy recipes with pumpkin puree (sweet or savoury), you need to check out this recipe round up! I have gathered 10 delicious recipes that include pumpkin puree in such fun ways. From breakfast options to snack ideas to savoury dinners, they’re all here!

It’s the season of pumpkin and if you’ve ever made a recipe with pumpkin puree, you will know that most of the time, it doesn’t call for a full can. This means we end up with leftover puree and if you’re anything like me, it goes bad before we get to use it again! Well with these 10 Healthy Recipes with Pumpkin Puree, we will be reducing food waste, saving money (because we don’t need to buy another can) AND eating delicious food!

Did you know that per 1 cup of pumpkin puree, there is 6 grams of fibre, 15% of daily vitamin C and over 20% of daily recommendations of iron and potassium?!

Reminder:

• Do not use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree! If you do this, your recipes will turn out much sweeter and full of seasonal spices. Especially in the case of savoury recipes, this will absolutely not turn out well.
