Pumpkin Perfection: A Columbus Blogger Recipe Round-up
Lots of unnecessary things are being made into pumpkin spice flavors. Does the world really require squash-scented cleaning products? Are folks seriously clamoring for pumpkin-flavored Jello or Pringles? I like fall as much as the next gal, but let’s keep pumpkin in the realm of normalcy. To that end, some of my favorite Columbus food bloggers have your pumpkin needs covered! These local foodies are serving up a slew of pumpkin spice dishes, both sweet and savory. Check out their recipes below, as well as my contribution: Pumpkin Spice Latte Waffles.
The Beard and The Baker
Hannah is a blogger babe, and I can always turn to her for a great recipe. This pumpkin banana bread is no exception – why choose pumpkin or banana when you can have both? Don’t forget to add a slather of butter to this breakfast treat!
Hummusapien
Move over avocado toast – autumn is here! You may have noshed on her variation of this toast at Alchemy Juice, but Alexis’ make-at-home version is oh-so drool-worthy and surprisingly easy.
Lydi Out Loud
What’s not to love about a puffy pumpkin confection topped with a dollop of tangy frosting and a dash of cinnamon? Lydi Out Loud promises these cookies will melt in your mouth, and I have no doubt she’s right.
The Spiffy Cookie
Pumpkin pizza crust might be the most genius idea since the invention of the PSL, and pairing it with goat cheese and sage takes this recipe over the top. Erin has lots of other sweet spins on pumpkin as well, so be sure to search her site for more inspiration.
Whole Living Lauren

Tomato soup has nothing on PUMPKIN soup. This dreamy version will have you wishing fall will last forever, and it packs a pumpkin punch with 2 full cans of pumpkin puree on the ingredient list.
Neighbor Food
Squash out those cold weather blues with this luscious dessert idea courtesy of Courtney. I can’t get over that buttery crumb layer sprinkled on top of the cake, and neither should you.
Fervent Foodie
There’s something about a sandwich cookie I just can’t resist, and this oldie but goodie recipe from Mary looks just about perfect. This is definitely pumpkin power in dessert form.
Crave Columbus

Too lazy to stroll for a pumpkin-centric breakfast? Kayla has you covered in the donut department with this mini pumpkin spice iteration. Added bonus: these goodies are gluten-free, so get to snacking!
Columbus Culinary Connection
This is one of those go-to recipes in my fall arsenal. It’s pumpkiny but not too sweet, and the waffles are tender and packed with fragrant spices.
