This pumpkin puree recipe is the perfect kitchen staple to always have in your fridge this season to have ready for all your fall desserts, drinks and all the plant-based recipes.
I still don’t understand why pumpkin spice has become the butt of all basic bitch jokes. If loving pumpkin is wrong, then I don’t want to me right. Pumpkin everything is delicious and there is not denying it. I will say that not all pumpkin spice ingredients are created equal. If you want to make sure you’re getting the real deal, the only way is to just make it yourself.
It is a very simple process that only takes a couple of ingredients. I’ll write out all of the ingredients and methods, but make sure to scroll all the way down for the recipe card below for an easier read.

I use this pumpkin puree to throw into my hot cacao or blend into my coffees in the morning for a homemade PSL 😉 It’s also a great base for this vegan pumpkin pie recipe posted on The Plant Based Palette.
The serving size and batches vary depending on the size of the pumpkin you are using. I got my pumpkins from a local texas pumpkin patch. I’ve used the small tiny ones that you place on your desk or dresser for a small batch which makes about 2 cups. I’ve also made it with a medium to large sized pumpkins will give you about 10 cups of pumpkin puree. Great to place in the an airtight container and store in the fridge.
I recommend using a vitamix or food processors to make it into a puree. You can purchase a vitamix on The Plant Based Palette shop.
