The Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond is a big fan of canned pumpkin puree. The Food Network star says it’s one of the best canned foods to have in your cupboard. And she has plenty of recipes to put it to good use. Here are the best sweet and savory pumpkin recipes from The Pioneer Woman.
‘The Pioneer Woman’ doesn’t need pasta dough for her Pumpkin Ravioli
Drummond’s recipe for Pumpkin Ravioli doesn’t waste your time making pasta dough. Instead, she uses wonton wrappers to make this dish much easier. This fall pasta dish makes a great Thanksgiving appetizer. But it can just as easily be an easy weeknight meal.
The Pioneer Woman says that pumpkin should never be limited to just fall desserts. The canned pumpkin puree in Drummond’s Pumpkin Chili gives this otherwise traditional chili a slightly sweet and earthy flavor.
“The cinnamon plays up the pumpkin flavor and complements the smoky chili powder and cumin, while the spicy Italian sausage works to balance the sweetness from the gourd,” Drummond says.
Pumpkin Spice Latte
You don’t need to pay big bucks for a Pumpkin Spice Latte at a high-dollar coffee shop when you can be an at-home barista with The Pioneer Woman’s recipe. All you need is some pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, whole milk, vanilla extract, hot espresso or strongly brewed coffee, and whipped cream.
Pumpkin spice lattes might be the perfect drink during a crisp fall day. But at night, it’s time for a Pumpkin Pie Martini. Drummond’s Pumpkin Pie Martinis are both a fall dessert and a cocktail. The recipe features real pumpkin, and it’s topped with a dollop of frozen whipped cream that melts into a foam topping.
‘The Pioneer Woman’s’ Pumpkin Spice Cereal Treats are perfect for a party
Take your Rice Krispy Treats game to the next level with Drummond’s recipe for Pumpkin Spice Cereal Treats. Drummond’s Oklahoma store and restaurant The Mercantile serves this yummy treat for their annual Halloween celebration.
Ree Drummond kicks up a classic with Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Yes, you read that currently. Drummond has a recipe for Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls. And once you try them, life will never be the same. The Food Network star created a pumpkin version of her mom’s cinnamon roll recipe, and tops them with cream cheese icing. We promise, this one will be part of your fall dessert (or breakfast) rotation.
Double check your can before you make Pumpkin Lasagna Rollups
Drummond’s Pumpkin Lasagna Rollups are the perfect comfort food for this time of year. Just make sure to use pure pumpkin puree for this recipe, not pumpkin pie filling. Other ingredients include lasagna noodles, butter, flour, milk, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, ricotta cheese, mozzarella, egg, and fresh sage.
‘The Pioneer Woman’s’ spin on an Italian classic — Pumpkin Bacon Carbonara
Another fall pasta recipe from The Pioneer Woman, Drummond’s Pumpkin Bacon Carbonara is a comforting, creamy dish that you can easily put together in just a few minutes. Just make sure to have a mesh sieve and cheesecloth so you can drain the pumpkin.
Ree Drummond’s Pumpkin Ice Cream Float 2 Ways
During the fall season, Drummond says she looks for every possible opportunity to serve pumpkin ice cream because the window of availability is short.
One option in her Pumpkin Ice Cream Float 2 Ways is the classic root beer float variation. That features a bottle of root beer, garnished with a Pirouette cookie and a dash of cinnamon. The other option is a Pumpkin Spice Latte Float made with ice cream and coffee.
‘The Pioneer Woman’ elevates Thanksgiving with Pumpkin Dinner Rolls
Drummond suggests elevating your bread side dish at Thanksgiving by adding pumpkin puree to create homemade Pumpkin Dinner Rolls. They take a few hours to make because the dough needs to rise, but the results are absolutely worth the effort.
