6 Healthy Pumpkin Recipes for Fall (Vegan, High-Protein & Sugar-Free)

Everything pumpkin, made better for you, from soup to soft serve.

Pumpkin season means one thing in my kitchen, an entire lineup of vegan, high protein, sugar free recipes that make the most of it. From a warming soup to a giant frosted cookie, these are the pumpkin recipes I keep coming back to every fall, and every single one is plant based, refined sugar free, and genuinely simple to make.

1. Pumpkin Soup

A roasted pumpkin soup blended into a creamy, dairy-free base and topped with a quick chilli spinach. Served with warm jowar bread rolls, it is a hearty, protein-friendly bowl that is perfect for cooler, rainy days.

2. Fall Cheeseboard

A vegan, high protein tofu cheese ball shaped like a mini pumpkin, coated in crushed popped chips for crunch. Built to be the centerpiece of a fall cheeseboard, surrounded by crackers, nuts, and fresh fruit.

3. Pumpkin Tofu Kulfi

A dense, creamy Indian-style kulfi made from blended tofu and pumpkin purée, sweetened entirely with a natural, zero calorie sweetener. Warmed through with cardamom and saffron, this is a fast-friendly, high protein dessert with real festive flavour.

4. Pumpkin Spice Chai Ice Cream

A cashew and chai-based ice cream infused with pumpkin purée and warming spices, topped with caramelised walnuts. No refined sugar, no dairy, and easily one of the most requested desserts I make every fall.

5. Pumpkin Hot Chocolate

A rich, cocoa-based hot chocolate blended with pumpkin purée and cinnamon for a cozy, dairy-free drink. Ready in under ten minutes, and the perfect way to warm up on a cold evening.

6. Giant Pumpkin Spice Cookie

One oversized, orange-frosted cookie made from a soft almond butter dough, sweetened completely sugar free. It is the dessert I make when I want something that looks indulgent but is actually good for me.
