Now that we’re finally into September, I’m really starting to embrace pumpkin everything.

Oh who am I kidding…when September 1st hit, I was all about pumpkin. Yep, I ordered a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks the day they came out (and have had one or five since then) and have been testing pumpkin beers from the moment they arrived for the season.

Everywhere I turn, there’s another pumpkin-y treat to try from the grocery store. It seems that a lot of brands are jumping on the pumpkin bandwagon, and for good reason! Pumpkin Cheerios, pumpkin instant oatmeal, pumpkin English muffins, pumpkin popcorn, pumpkin yogurt, pumpkin ice cream…the list goes on and on.

I’m also celebrating with pumpkin today for a very special reason! Three of my very good blogging friends are due to have their babies soon! I couldn’t be more excited or happy for them, so a bunch of my dearest blogging gal pals and I decided to throw Ashley from The Recipe Rebel, Denise from Sweet Peas & Saffron, and Kristine from Kristine’s Kitchen a virtual baby shower. While they all have other children, we are thrilled to help them welcome their newest additions.

And side note, if you haven’t checked out their blogs, do so now. These lovely ladies make delicious recipes that make my mouth water all the time. To help them celebrate, be sure to scroll down below to check out the other yummy fall recipes for their virtual baby shower!

Making my own pumpkin deliciousness really gets me in the mood for fall. And since we’re having a virtual baby shower today, I thought these Easy Pumpkin Danish would be the perfect addition!

I’m a sucker for treats that double as breakfast and dessert. You, too? Danish can start my mornings off right, and end my days on the perfect, sweet note.

Especially these Easy Pumpkin Danish. With just five ingredients and minimal prep time, you can have this fall goodie ready to go in no time. And after making these Caramel Apple Danish last fall, I knew that i had to come up with an equally tasty pumpkin one.

Did I mention how easy these cuties are to make? Because they sure are, friends! After all, we’re using puff pastry dough as the base, which really doesn’t get any easier than that. Simply use a round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter to make the base of the danish.

Then comes the pumpkin! I used some pure pumpkin, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the mixture. That’s it! Just three ingredients is all it takes for the sweet, pumpkin-y center.

One bite and you’ll be hooked on the cozy fall flavors and buttery, flaky crust. These Easy Pumpkin Danish make a simple breakfast, easy snack, or delicious dessert. But however you choose to eat them, I guarantee you’ll be coming back for more!
