Pumpkin season is in full swing, and what better way to celebrate than by treating your taste buds to some delicious pumpkin-based dishes? There's the classic pumpkin spice loaf and even the savory dill pickle pumpkin seed snack, but the recipes don't stop there.

Both Instagram and TikTok are flooded with creations from influencers incorporating pumpkin into their favorite foods. With so many videos filling up your newsfeed, it can be overwhelming to watch them all, which may lead you to just succumb to the Costco calling for a premade pumpkin pie. So, we narrowed it down to some of our autumnal favorites that cover dessert, breakfast, party appetizers, and even dinner, so you'll always have tasty recipes on hand — without having to filter through social media.

Check the recipes out below — your taste buds won't be sorry.
