Now that is is officially Fall, it is only fitting that I dedicate a “Friday Foodie Favorites” post to one of my all-time favorite foods: pumpkin! I know that I am not alone with my pumpkin-loving feelings, so hopefully these recipes and products will give you some fantastic ideas to satisfy all of your pumpkin cravings. Oh, and I cannot forget to give Katie a little bit of credit for this post. I loved her Pumpkin Approved post so much that I knew I also needed an ALL pumpkin post, too!
Friday Foodie Favorites: All Things Pumpkin
A couple of weeks ago I made Robyn’s Oatmeal Pumpkin Spice Pancakes. I ate half of the recipe for breakfast and saved the other half for breakfast the next day at work. These pancakes reheat beautifully, and also taste absolutely delicious topped with peanut butter, almond butter, pumpkin butter, and/or…
…homemade slow cooker applesauce. These babies are oh-so good!
Speaking of pumpkin butter…
I have a slight obsession with Trader Joe’s pumpkin butter! I actually have a huge stash of it from last year that I am still working my way through, but for those of you who do not, I have good news: it is back in stores!
I love to eat mine slathered on toast. Get to TJ’s now and get stocked up for the year while you can!
I have mentioned these before, but they definitely deserve another shout out. These Maple Kissed Pumpkin Muffins from The Happy Herbivore are amazing and SO easy to make. Plus, the nutrition facts are fabulous! Eat these up!
These were made for me. Seriously, I am convinced of that ;). I am loving these Pumpkin Spice Larabars, and if you have not tried them yet then you need to get with it!
Next up is another great pumpkin-filled breakfast idea:
Here is another great recipe from Robyn. Her Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal is deeeelicious! I cut my bake into three servings (instead of four..hey, I like to eat!) for some of my breakfasts for work this week. I followed suit and topped mine off with peanut butter and banana slices. One of the days I subbed in sliced peaches in place of the banana and that was fabulous, too. This is a great pumpkin breakfast option and could not be easier to make. Try this one out if you are a pumpkin lover!
And finally…
This post would not be complete without another mention of my Banana Pumpkin Breakfast Cookie. I have made this bad boy several times since sharing the recipe because I seriously cannot get enough. Yes, it tastes as good as it looks! Oh, and for those of you who have been loving this breakfast cookie, I have a new breakfast cookie coming your way soon. And it may involve PB & J! 😉
It is Fall, people! Go eat some pumpkin!

Loving this post! I’m going pumpkin crazy over here. I think I’ll most definitely have the orange glow happening any day now!
Oh my goodness, me too…especially considering I eat tons of carrots and sweet potatoes, too!
Yum, I love all things pumpkin too! Pumpkin overload, loving it!
You can never have too much pumpkin, right?? 😉
Absolutely LOVE pumpkin in the fall. I have a recipe for pumpkin vegan chili that is amazing!
That sounds awesome!! Pumpkin goes well in everything!!
I want/need that pumpkin butter!!! Yum!
Yes, you need to get some ASAP!
im loving everything pumpkin too – i just had a pumpkin smoothie with pumpkin granola 😛 i need to make that pumpkin bake. Happy Friday
A pumpkin smoothie sounds absolutely delicious!!
It’s been too long since my last trip to Trader Joe’s apparently…..I need to try this pumpkin butter!! Have a great weekend, Hannah!
Oh my goodness, yes you do! It is to die for!
I need to get my hands on that pumpkin butter! I feel tortured daily that Canada doesn’t have TJs!!
Ugh, what a major bummer!!! 🙁 I have sympathy for you!
Loving all things pumpkin! All of these recipes look great. I hope I’m not the only one who happens to eat huge spoonfuls of pumpkin right from the can.
Oh, you definitely aren’t! 😉
I didn’t buy the pumpkin butter but everyone raves about it so maybe I should!
Oh my gosh, YES! You HAVE to! 🙂
There’s no TJ’s here, so I’m thinking about making my own pumpkin butter to can. I’m just too jealous of how good it sounds not to. Also, excited for a PBJ breakfast cookie! Who doesn’t want to eat cookies for breakfast (could you work on a lunch and dinner cookie?)
Haha, you could TOTALLY eat those for dinner, too! 😉 And you should absolutely make your own pumpkin butter and then share the recipe!
I think I need to make a TJ’s trip this weekend solely to pick up that pumpkin butter! And if a jar of cookie butter makes its way into my basket too, so be it!
Haha, the more kinds of butter, the better!! 🙂
You had me at TJ’s pumpkin butter! I don’t have a TJ’s at school, and I will be near one this weekend. You can bet that I’m going to go nuts there.
Oh yes! You absolutely have to stock up when you get the chance!
EAT ALL THE PUMPKIN!! Haha. I love pumpkin so much- especially that TJ’s pumpkin butter!
We are definitely speaking the same language, girlie!!
I need to get my hands on that TJ pumpkin butter!!
Yes you do!!! You cannot miss out on this!
A PB and J breakfast cookie??! I love the way you think 😉 That was just the cherry on the top to all of this delicious pumpkin!
You got it, girl! Coming your way next week! 🙂
Looking forward to trying that pumpkin oatmeal bake! So much pumpkin goodness is all of these. I still have some pumpkin butter from last year too. Time to dig that out!
Yes, I was just thinking…why don’t I eat pumpkin year round???
I haven’t really gotten my pumpkin on yet…. this needs to change!
I think that this weekend is the perfect time to do so! Make it happen! 🙂
Can’t get enough pumpkin! Everything looks ah-mazing, although i have to say I wasn’t a fan of the pumpkin ALT bars. I was pretty upset with myself, haha!
Aww, what a bummer :(. At least there are plenty of other pumpkin things for you to love!
Go eat pumpkin? You definitely don’t have to tell me twice 😉 I’ve already accepted the fact that I’ll probably turn orange this year, but it’ll be well worth it. The only thing that’s killing me is that we don’t have TJs up here, so no pumpkin butter!
Such a bummer about the TJ’s, but there are LOTS of great pumpkin products/recipes for you to enjoy!! And yes, turning orange very well may happen to me. I already have an obsession with carrots and sweet potatoes…add the pumpkin and it’s going to be an overload ;).
No need to go get pumpkin, I’m already fully stocked! 😉 Everything in this post is seriously making me so hungry for breakfast, right before bed. You’re right TJ’s pumpkin butter is the BEST!
Stocking up on all things pumpkin is a definite MUST!!
So many amazing pumpkin recipes!! I saw Robyn’s pumpkin recipe too it looks so delicious 🙂
It really is!! She has some awesome recipes!
All hail the great pumpkin! I am checking out your cookie. Sounds awesome!
Thank you! I happen to be quite fond of it ;). Let me know if you try it!
Those pumpkin muffins look yummy! I get so jealous anytime I see Trader Joe products, I’m trying to convince my mom to go grocery shopping for me when she visits NY!
You definitely NEED to convince her!!! 🙂
Pumpkin butter is back?! *Runs to TJ’s!!!!* 😀
Yes, get there ASAP!!! 😉
Yay for pumpkin! I love it ALL!
ME TOO! There can never be too much!
Who needs spray tans or tanning lotion when you got pumpkin to make you orange instead =)
Haha!! This totally cracks me up!! So true ;).
drooling. . .. thankfully I have my pumpkin bars to keep me company. 😉
Oh yes, you most definitely have some GOOD pumpkin going on right about now!
Love this post! Obsessed with pumpkin!
Pumpkin is SO easy to be obsessed with!! 😉
Mmmmmmm, love all things pumpkin right now,
How can you not?? 😉
This is a great post idea!
I totally fall into the cliche – I adore everything about pumpkin right now, too!
It is very cliche, huh? I have started wondering why I don’t eat pumpkin all year round…hmm…
so glad you’re enjoying the recipes- you’re reminding me to make some!!
thanks for sharing friend 🙂
love love love TJs pumpkin buttah!
You have some GREAT ones!! I am loving trying them :). And yes, TJ’s pumpkin butter is where it’s at!
