Let’s go through seven tasty gluten and dairy-free pumpkin dessert recipes that you’re going to love all fall season long!

Dairy-free Pumpkin Pie

We’ll start this roundup with a classic – a pumpkin pie that’s been reinvented to be dairy-free with a homemade gluten-free crust. The filling is made right in a blender, so you don’t have to do any whisking or mixing. It’s incredibly simple!

Bake up a crust with some gluten-free oats, cornstarch, vegan butter, maple syrup, and salt before making your filling. Get the gluten-free pie crust recipe here.

Gluten & Dairy-free Impossible Pumpkin Pie

Gluten-free Dairy-free Impossible Pumpkin Pie

If you enjoy eating only the filling of pumpkin pie, you’ve got to try this crustless version that’s so easy, you won’t miss one bite of crust! It’s gluten and dairy-free, and perfect for any special fall gathering, including Thanksgiving.

I love making this option when I’m short on time and need to get a pie together with minimal hands-on time.

Gluten-free Pumpkin Bread

You might think that pumpkin bread is a breakfast or brunch food, but let me tell you that this gluten and dairy-free pumpkin bread is so full of flavor and it’s just the right amount of sweetness that it can double as a cake to serve guests.

If you want to make it more cake-like, you can add a drizzle over top or serve it with a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream to make it feel more special.

Gluten-free Pumpkin Muffins

These gluten, egg, and dairy-free muffins might have you wondering how muffins can be served as dessert. With a bit of dairy-free whipped cream or frosting on top, voila! You have a pumpkin cupcake.

This isn’t an idea I’ve come up with on my own either. My local vegan bakery does this all the time, and I really think it’s super genius! Plus if you have leftovers, you can eat them for breakfast!

Gluten-free Pumpkin Cookies

Have you ever tried pumpkin cookies? If not, you’re missing out! These are so simple and full of fall-flavors, that they’re one of my favorite cookies to make through October and November.

They’re a twist on my popular almond flour based cookies with additional canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. You’ll love these for a special weekend treat!

Gluten-free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you are a fan of the classics, you might have a chocolate chip cookie recipe that you love. But if you want to take it to the next level this fall, try incorporating some canned pumpkin into the recipe.

It’s a surprising twist of two cookies – chocolate chip and pumpkin – that works so well together and really gets you in the fall mood.

Gluten-free Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake

Gluten free Pumpkin Cheesecake - dairy-free

When I set out to make this pumpkin cheesecake the first time, I wasn’t sure if it was going to work. But I was so pleasantly surprised with how it turned out! It’s a no-bake dairy-free and gluten-free cheesecake with a base of gluten-free graham crackers, and a pumpkin and cashew filling.

It’s seriously so flavorful with the cinnamon drizzle over top and I truly think it’s a show-stopper too! Give this one a try this Thanksgiving or your next fall gathering that you are asked to bring a dish to share!

If you’ve been looking for a tasty pumpkin dessert recipe to make the most of pumpkin season, I hope you try one of these recipes out and love them!
