It’s time. The sweet, nutty, versatile fall favorite is back and we’re ready to go crazy with it. At the beginning of the season, we could seriously eat it all day, every day, in everything, everywhere. We know you’re with us, which is why we’ve put together some creative recipes to try from sun up to sun down. Whether you’re baking pumpkin, sautéing pumpkin, or pureeing pumpkin, you’re worshiping fall’s most glorious ingredient and we couldn’t be prouder.

Breakfast: Maple-Glazed Pumpkin Poptarts

The a.m. doughy childhood staple is back and gets a double whammy of fall flavor.
