Jack-o'-lanterns aren't the only fun way to use a pumpkin this time of year. From breakfast to dessert, lots of dessert, we've got 10 delicious pumpkin recipes kids will love.

1. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies: When the weather turns crisp, what's better than a gooey chocolate chip cookie? A chocolate chip cookie with rich and creamy pumpkin incorporated too. The perfect fall treat.

2. White Bean Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins (pictured above): These two kinds of chocolate pumpkin muffins have one thing in common: They both use white beans in the batter, packing a surprising little punch of protein (and the kids will never know they're in there).

3. Whoopie Pumpkin Pies: Two chocolatey cakes filled with cream cheese and pumpkin frosting make this a decadent dessert — one that kids can help assemble too.

4. Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts: Just use a Halloween cookie cutter to create witches, ghosts or any other not-too-spooky shape out of pie crust, fill and bake.

5. Pumpkin Cake Pops: Melissa d'Arabian's adorable little cake pops will make a pumpkin lover out of anyone.

6. Mini Pecan Pumpkin Pies: Combining the best of pecan and pumpkin pies into one teeny-tiny treat? Brilliant.

8. Toasted Pumpkin Seeds: Remember making these when you were a kid? Try our updated recipe with your own brood this year.

9. Pumpkin Pancakes: Who said veggies were only for dinner? This sweet pumpkin batter gives breakfast a built-in vegetable — and makes a good candidate for breakfast-for-dinner too.
