I have mentioned many times that pumpkin pie spice is my all-time favorite seasoning. At this point, I hardly need to repeat myself — the impressive number of pumpkin spice recipes on this blog provides more than enough evidence.
Pumpkin pie spice has found its way into my pancakes, waffles, cookies, cakes, pies, drinks, truffles, panna cotta, and even an egg soufflé omelet. If a food stays still long enough, I will apparently season it with Ceylon cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
My enthusiasm does not end with recipes, either. I developed my own homemade pumpkin pie spice blend, and I also sell my organic blend in my Finnish clean keto online store. I carefully mix and pack it myself, so pumpkin pie spice is not merely a favorite seasoning around here — it is practically a staff member.
During my keto years, I also used plenty of pumpkin. It adds moisture, color, gentle sweetness, and unmistakable fall character to everything from low-carb pumpkin pie to creamy pumpkin soup.
Now that I follow a carnivore diet, I no longer eat pumpkin myself. However, I still occasionally use seasonings, so my beloved pumpkin pie spice continues to make welcome appearances. After all, pumpkin pie spice contains no pumpkin — a wonderfully convenient detail for a pumpkin-free pumpkin spice fan.
I also love developing keto pumpkin recipes for others. Creating them lets me play with new flavor combinations, while my willing taste testers get to handle the eating part. Everyone wins.
Below, you’ll find 32 of my best keto pumpkin and pumpkin spice recipes, including ketovore treats, low-carb breakfasts, sugar-free desserts, warming drinks, pumpkin basics, and savory dishes. That should be enough pumpkin and pumpkin spice to keep even the most enthusiastic fall baker busy.
Pumpkin and Pumpkin Spice Basics
Before making all those keto pumpkin recipes, it helps to have the two essentials ready: pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. These recipes cover everything from roasting a whole pumpkin to turning it into smooth purée and mixing the ultimate homemade spice blend.

It is Sunday morning as I write this, and I am enjoying a big mug of Pumpkin Spice Latte. Naturally, mine contains no pumpkin because I avoid fiber. I even filtered out the pumpkin pie spice, but its lovely warm flavor remains. All the flavor, no gritty bits floating around — exactly how I like it.
Although I no longer eat pumpkin now that I follow a carnivore diet, I still occasionally enjoy pumpkin pie spice. I also love creating keto pumpkin recipes for family, friends, and everyone who visits this blog looking for low-carb fall treats. Someone has to keep the taste testers busy!
Whether you want a ketovore pumpkin spice dessert, a stack of keto pumpkin pancakes, a creamy sugar-free latte, or a savory pumpkin dish, I hope you found a new favorite here. Just keep the pumpkin pie spice nearby — judging by this collection, one jar may not be enough.
