Why Pumpkin Fall Recipes Are a Must for Healthy Autumn Indulgence

Why do we love fall pumpkin recipes so much? Is it because the smell of pumpkin and spices makes us feel warm and cozy? 

Maybe pumpkins remind us of the upcoming holiday season.

Well, here’s another reason to love pumpkins. Pumpkins are loaded with antioxidants and a wide variety of vitamins and nutrients.  Vitamins A, C , E,  B6, iron, magnesium, niacin and folate are just a few. 

Pumpkins are also a rich source of fiber which helps improve gut health. And since pumpkins are naturally sweet and low in calories, they’re a good choice if you’re trying to maintain your weight. 

Pumpkin And Warm Spices: The Perfect Pair for Gluten-Free and Paleo Baking

Pumpkins pair nicely with warm spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves. The comforting flavor and aroma are so inviting, even candle companies have capitalized on the scent.

If you’re on the gluten-free or paleo diet, you’re in for a special treat. Not only do pumpkins help baked recipes retain moisture. Pumpkins act as a binder, holding your ingredients together. This is important because baked desserts can be crumbly without gluten.

Plus, pumpkins are naturally creamy which makes them the perfect ingredient for recipes without butter or milk.

So brace yourself…even reading these pumpkin dessert recipes can trigger an irresistible craving for autumnal sweetness.
