Okay, adding pumpkin to basically everything during fall may feel a little played out, but admit it—you still want to do it. (We certainly do!) That’s why you need these healthy pumpkin recipes.

And these are not just your basic Thanksgiving desserts.

All of the dishes we found (or created) use pumpkin in surprising, creative ways that play up the squash’s nutritious attributes while skipping lots of sugar and white flour. The orange veggie, after all, is a great source of antioxidants like beta-carotene and vitamin C, fiber, and other important nutrients. There are options for every meal, too: pancakes, pie, you name it.

Pro tip: If you’re using fresh pumpkin rather than canned, don’t forget to eat the nutrient-packed seeds, too.

Now put on a cozy sweater and get cookin’.
