Each fall and winter, so many of us delight in pumpkin recipes. Here are 15 Paleo Pumpkin Recipes, all of which you’ll want to make! Carefully chosen, because each one’s “a keeper”, enjoy scones, cookies, cakes, puddings, pancakes, pies, breads and more — all made with pumpkin and fall spices!
The recipes in this round-up are Gluten-free and Paleo. I also note below: many are Keto, Low Carb, GAPS diet-friendly, AIP and/or Vegan.
1. Paleo Pumpkin Scones (Keto, GAPS)
This Paleo Pumpkin recipe is made primarily with coconut butter, instead of flour, and the texture turns out amazing! We used to make these at our café, and as you can see from a couple of the comments below the recipe, real readers love this reliable Pumpkin Scones recipe.
Also Keto and GAPS.
2. Pumpkin Bread Pudding (Keto)
A truly gorgeous and decadent dessert, surprisingly this recipe is also pretty high in protein. Pumpkin Bread Pudding makes a super special breakfast treat, snack, brunch or even lunchbox item.

10. Winter Squash “Fruit” Leather (GAPS, AIP, Vegan)
You can use pumpkin or winter squash to make this recipe. While several of the recipes in this round-up are great with canned pumpkin, this recipe is better with fresh winter squash or pumpkin. Look for a sweet pie pumpkin or a variety like delicata or kabocha.

This convenient treat makes a healthy and popular snack or lunch food.
11. Instant Pot Pumpkin Butter (Vegan, GAPS, AIP)

12. Paleo Butternut Squash Muffins (fine to use canned pumpkin, too)
If you’re looking for THE perfect muffin, this is it. Paleo Butternut Squash Muffins have a tender, lovely texture! Recipe here.
And here are some almond-based recipes that are Paleo favorites:
- 13. Pumpkin Pie Bars with “Sugar” Cookie Crust
- 14. Paleo Pumpkin Bread
- 15. Pumpkin Bars (Vegan)
Remember to use an organic, sustainable almond flour if you bake with almonds, like this one (which is wonderful!). (Most are not, which means they carry a lot of pesticide residue and drain water from California’s desert ecosystem.)
