Fall is my favorite season for cooking. I love all the flavors and smells that come out in the fall each year.
Check out all of my favorite fall recipes full of fall flavors including pumpkin, maple and apples:
Maple Bacon Donuts
Three of my favorites all smooshed together into one!
Maple, Sausage, and Egg Bagel Sandwich
The secret ingredient in this goodie is the maple cream cheese.
Spiked Hot Cider
You can, of course, make this without the rum and it is still absolutely delicious.
Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins
These muffins are not overly sweet but have all the fall flavors of pumpkin and spices.
Pumpkin Carrot Cupcakes
This pumpkin cupcake recipe takes health to a whole new level with both pumpkin and carrots but in a deliciously sweet little package. And don’t forget the Maple Spice Frosting!
Pumpkin Cream Pasta with Spiced Chicken
This favorite fall recipe for dinner is creamy like mac n’ cheese, but can be made dairy free with almond or soy milk. Serve with cinnamon spiced chicken and you’ve got yourself a complete, healthy and delicious dinner option full of fall flavors!
Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Maple Bacon Sauce
Gnocchi is actually pretty easy to make and I always love to add a little extra veggie punch to our meals.
Maple Pecan Pumpkin Pancakes
I love incorporating fall flavors into our main dinner entrees, but the flavors really are more traditionally used in breakfast and dessert (maybe that’s why I love all the flavors so much!) These pancakes are so delicious, but also healthy enough for breakfast for dinner.
Pumpkin Risotto with Apple Maple Chicken
This has been one of our all-time family favorite fall recipes. Everything about it is delicious and while risotto can be intimidating, all it takes is a little time and patience and this version is pretty fool-proof!
Caramel Apple Cookies
If you’re looking for the flavors of fall in an easy to carry package, this is it! We made our own caramel (to make it safe for my allergic son) but you can easily use packaged caramel making this recipe super quick, easy and deliciously ready to eat before you know it!
Apple Bacon Grilled Cheese
I will readily admit that I’m not a huge sandwich person but when made right with lots of goodies, I’ll eat it right up. And this sandwich is just that: crisp, tart apples; sweet bacon cooked with maple syrup; and some of my favorite melty cheeses all smushed between perfectly buttery toast!
