Gluten Free Pumpkin Recipes: A Roundup

I'm sharing all of my gluten free pumpkin recipes in this Recipe Roundup. Both sweet and savoury recipes, plus new ways to use pumpkin spice. Whether you're excited about pumpkin spice or not, you can't deny the fact that pumpkin spice is now a season.

Pumpkin Pie Spice and Pumpkin Spice have been around since the 1950’s but Starbucks brought us the Pumpkin Spice Latte in 2004 and have slowly created a new season. Crazy hey!

Recipe Roundups are meant to help you quickly find seasonal recipes. Every year I look forward to making a few old favourites from this list. I will definitely bake this pumpkin date cake for my friend who is a serious pumpkin fan. There's nothing like baking for people who appreciate it!

Are Spices Gluten Free

Let's talk about spices for a minute. Individual packaged spices are considered low risk for the gluten free diet but spice blends is where it gets tricky. Once spices are combined companies may add 'a little something' to prevent clumping, decrease the cost or I'm sure for many reasons I've never thought of.

I see on social media that there are companies selling gluten free spices but for me, I just stay away from premixed spices. I've got all the ingredients in my jam-packed spice cupboard and can make any combination I want.

Perk Up Your Breakfast With A Little Pumpkin Spice

Add a few teaspoons of pumpkin spice to your favourite pancake, waffle or granola recipe.

Best Gluten Free Pancakes

There's something fun about a stack of pancakes with butter melting on top and syrup dripping down the sides. Now that's a weekend breakfast!

Gluten Free Waffles (with buttermilk)

For the best gluten free waffles the secret is not beating the egg whites. It's one of those tricks that gluten free cooks need to learn and it means one less bowl (gotta love that).

Homemade Gluten Free Granola

I put pistachios and dried apricot in this granola but you can vary the nuts, seeds and dried fruit to make it different every time.

Pumpkin Spice Baked Goods

Listen to my interview on A Canadian Celiac Podcast, What's All The Fuss About Pumpkin Pie Spice. If you've heard us talk before you know we can get excited about baking and we did! We came up with all kinds of ideas to use both the spice blend and the syrup. The spices will work in any recipe that calls for cinnamon so give it a try.

The first thing that came to my mind was cinnamon rolls. I make two batches every time I teach my cooking class The Art Of Cinnamon Rolls so I've got lots of experience. You could even try adding some pumpkin puree to the filling but October will be gone before I need to make cinnamon rolls again. Let me know if you tried it.

Many recipes, like my Pumpkin Ginger Muffins, contain all the spices typical in a pumpkin pie, but they're listed individually and in different amounts. That's because bakers were making all sorts of recipes before the pumpkin spice craze was a thing. It's a little reminder to bakers that with a little practise, you can adjust the spices in your baking much like you would adjust the spices in your cooking.
