Is pumpkin even safe to eat on a keto diet?

As you’ll see in this pumpkin recipe roundup, savoring the flavor of pumpkin season on keto is easier than you may think — and tastier and healthier for you than traditional options you may be missing.
Here’s a sneak peek at what this resource has in store for you:
Before you start pinning your fave recipes, let’s get a few nutritional facts about pumpkin out of the way first.
Is Pumpkin Okay to Eat on a Ketogenic Diet?
You may be surprised to learn pumpkin has several positive attributes that make it keto-friendly.
First, with 7.1g of fiber, the net carbs in fresh pumpkin clock in at 12.7g per cup[*].
While that’s still high for keto, you won’t be eating an entire cup of pumpkin if you’re sticking to the pumpkin recipes in this roundup.
On top of a healthy dose of fiber, pumpkin also delivers electrolytes and micronutrients like[*]:
- Vitamin A, K, E, and C
- Folate
- Choline
- Iron
- Potassium
- Manganese
- Calcium
- Phosphorus
- Magnesium
- Copper
Similar to sweet potatoes, the orange color in pumpkins means they contain antioxidants like carotenoids and phytonutrients like lycopene.
This specific carotenoid can help improve:
- Heart health and cell functions
- Your insulin response
- Eye health
- Cancer prevention
- The strength of your bones
Pumpkins are also low in calories as a cup only contains 83 calories[*].
Despite having a fairly high glycemic index (i.e., the measure of how much a food raises your blood sugar levels), pumpkin has specific polysaccharides that actually help regulate your blood sugar and lipid levels.
This helps balance out the effect pumpkin may have on your blood sugar.
Keep in mind, this is only if you buy the right type of pumpkin.
Unless you’re taking a hayride to a pumpkin patch to pick up your gourd, you’re probably buying your pumpkin straight from a can.
Now, traditional pumpkin recipes call for “pumpkin pie filling” which is not the same as canned, fresh pumpkin puree.
As you can imagine, pumpkin pie filling contains extra sugar and carbs to make those pumpkin pies with graham cracker crusts extra sweet. This mix will definitely cause a spike in your insulin levels and kick you out of ketosis.
Imitation pumpkin flavors and artificially flavored pumpkin spice, such as those added to pumpkin spice lattes (PSL), also have the same negative effect and contain zero of the nutrients and health benefits real pumpkin packs.
Because of this, to truly enjoy pumpkin season in keto you’ll want to stick to fresh or canned pumpkin puree and follow these low carb keto pumpkin recipes.
Good thing they taste even better than those sugar-laced store-bought versions. Especially when you get to start your day with them just like a PSL.
5 Keto Pumpkin Drink Recipes to Start Your Day Right
Trade your artificially made PSL for one of these recipes and you’ll never look back:
#1: Rich and Creamy Pumpkin Spice Keto Mocha Coffee
This creamy pumpkin spice keto mocha coffee is like nothing you’ll find at your local coffee shop.
Rather than a base full of sugar, this drink has healthy medium-chain triglycerides, or MCTs, which fuel your brain and give you a sustained energy boost.
The MCTs also help keep you full and combat pesky sugar cravings.
So while other pumpkin spice lattes will deplete your energy and send your blood sugar levels through the roof, which only causes you to crave more sugar afterwards, this recipe has the exact opposite effect.
The next low carb version of a PSL uses similar ingredients.
#2: Not Your Average Pumpkin Spice Latte
In this low carb, sugar-free pumpkin spice latte, recipe creator Sarah Hardy also calls on MCTs for help in the form of a grass-fed butter creamer with coconut oil and MCTs.
To create this filling fall drink, Sarah adds a few more ingredients than the first latte on the list, including pumpkin puree, to create those rich flavors.
And she also happens to be the brains behind this next recipe too.
#3: Secret Ingredient Pumpkin Coffee Smoothie
Smoothies more your thing than hot lattes?
This pumpkin coffee smoothie contains the usual suspects like coffee, canned pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice, but it also invites mystery ingredients like frozen okra and cottage cheese to the party.
Did you know okra can help improve blood sugar levels?
It’s also packed with fiber and low in calories, making it a good secret ingredient for anyone with the goal of weight loss on a keto diet.
And if okra sounds too weird for you, you can either ditch it or move on to this next smoothie recipe.
#4: Chai Infused Pumpkin Keto Smoothie
Leanne’s chai infused pumpkin keto smoothie is exactly what you’d expect from a smoothie mashing these two warm flavors together.
Her recipe also includes options like adding MCT oil and collagen if you’re using it as a post-workout smoothie, which helps build a filling drink you can sip on any time of the day.
Anyone in your family can enjoy this recipe since it’s sugar free, low carb, and keto, paleo, and vegan friendly.
This last pumpkin drink recipe is another that works no matter the time.
#5: Homemade Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Creamer
Rather than whipping up an entire pumpkin drink that only makes one serving, make this low carb pumpkin spice creamer and add it to your morning or afternoon coffees for an entire week (or more depending on how much you use).
It’s easy to create since everything goes right into a jar to mix up — no blender or food processor needed — and clean up is a breeze too.
Just combine coconut milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, canned pumpkin puree, and Swerve (aka erythritol) in a mason jar and you’ll have your very own sugar-free version of the artificially made flavored creamers on the shelves.
Now, if you’re someone who prefers an actual meal to start your day over a drink, this next set of pumpkin recipes is for you.
8 Low-Carb Pumpkin Recipes for Breakfast
On top of seeing pumpkin spice lattes everywhere, breakfast menus and commercials are also pumping out pumpkin flavored everything come cooler temperatures of autumn.
While you may not be able to enjoy those versions, you can create your own low carb treats using these pumpkin breakfast recipes and still have an awesome day:
#1: Keto Pumpkin Pancakes (Two Ways)
Pancakes are usually one of the first foods people cross off their list when switching to a ketogenic diet.
And while most are off-limits, these gluten-free, low carb keto pumpkin pancakes are the exception.
Using a mix of ground flax seeds and hazelnuts instead of traditional white flour, this pancake recipe provides the same great texture and flavors of traditional pancakes without all the carbs, sugar, and bloat.
And this second low carb cream cheese pancake recipe is even more decadent than the first. Requiring simple ingredients you may already have on hand, like cream cheese, butter, and coconut flour, a serving will only set you back 3g of net carbs.
But if you prefer waffles over pancakes, this next recipe has you covered. Also check out our Keto panckes + waffles mix.
#2: Low-Carb Keto Pumpkin Waffles
This low carb keto pumpkin waffle recipe isn’t just a disguise of pancake batter poured into a waffle maker.
It’s more like a waffle with the nutrition dial cranked up to 11.
Not only are you scoring all the benefits of pumpkin, you’re also soaking up 14 servings of 22 different fruits and vegetables — and energy boosting MCTs — in every bite.
How’s that possible?
Thanks to our Micro Greens Powder, you can sneak an extra serving of nutrition into your pumpkin waffle batter and your family may not even notice the healthy boost.
While this powerful powder is no substitute for real fruits and veggies, it can help your body absorb the essential micronutrients you need but may not be getting since drastically limiting your fruit and veggie options to those strictly low carb.
So this booster is like an added layer of protection to ensure you’re not missing anything.
And it’s conveniently wrapped up in delightful pumpkin waffles so you’ll never taste all that nutrition going in.
The next two breakfast staples are as close to the original versions as it gets without all the carbs.

Fortunately, you don’t have to ditch the taste or convenience just because you’ve gone low carb.

You’ll also find a recipe within that one to make your own pumpkin cream cheese spread, which Sarah the recipe creator makes with Greek yogurt to up the protein and nutrition.
Yes, you can have your bagel and cream cheese once again and practically guilt-free.
But what about oatmeal?
#4: Healthy Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
This healthy pumpkin pie oatmeal may look like regular oatmeal on the surface, but it’s anything but underneath.
In place of carby oats, you’ll find a mix of pumpkin puree, shredded coconut, coconut flour, crushed pecans, chia seeds, and pumpkin pie spice, along with a few other ingredients in this bowl.
These blend together nicely to create the same comforting, filling texture of oatmeal while also keeping you full and satiated for hours thanks to its whole-food ingredient list.
Many of these additions are high in healthy fats (pecans, coconut, chia seeds, for example) and rich in fiber. The net carb amount per serving is lower than your old go-to version since it sits at just 7.5g.
If your breakfast carb cravings lean towards the sweeter stuff, the next few recipes should pique your interest.
#5: Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake Breakfast Pockets (aka Low-Carb “Pop-Tarts”)

Balancing both sweet and savory flavors will give you the feeling of cheating with a decadent pastry for breakfast without actually ruining your ketosis goals.
Thanks to mozzarella, almond flour, cream cheese, and egg yolk, these breakfast treats will also keep you feeling full until your next meal, something Pop-Tarts definitely can’t do.
The next easy pumpkin recipe is also an unexpected pumpkin and cheese flavor combo.
