What better way to welcome the fall season than with pumpkin everything?!

Yes, I too fall into the hype of making and baking everything with pumpkin once the autumn season arrives. I can’t help it, pumpkin is so versatile for all sorts of baked goods and snacks.

These are all great ideas too for that last ½ to 1 cup of pumpkin pureé you don’t want to go to waste.

But you’re here for snacks, so with no further ado, let’s check those out!
