Y’all know that saying, “Everything’s better with butter?” Well, I’m going to next-level that to “Everything’s better with Whipped Pumpkin Butter!”
I don’t know how many times I’ve made a pumpkin recipe and had a little bit of pumpkin leftover. Can you relate?
I hate throwing it out, so sometimes I give to the dogs for a nutritious treat, but honestly, I never really know what to do with it. Then this Whipped Pumpkin Butter situation happened!
Problem solved.
The recipe just calls for 1/4 cup of canned pumpkin, which makes it the perfect way to use up a bit of extra pumpkin that’s often leftover during Fall baking season. It’s perfect to mix in warm oats, pancakes, waffles, toast, even blended in coffee. Basically, if it falls under “breakfast food,” slather it with some pumpkin butter and thank me later.
Since this makes such a big batch, I think it would make for such a fun Fall-themed gift! Go get some mini mason jars and fill them with some of this pumpkin butter, and your friends will totally be impressed.
I prefer it right after it’s made at room temperature, but to keep it from spoiling, be sure to keep it in the fridge.
Just a few simple ingredients are all you need:
Butter of choice. {I lean towards grass-fed butter}
Pumpkin puree {I love using organic}
Honey
Pumpkin spice. {OR a mix your own: nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon}
pink salt
I chose to use Truly Grass-fed Butter for this recipe and absolutely loved it! I’m sure you could try this with grass-fed ghee as well, I just haven’t tried that yet!
If you love pumpkin recipes you will absolutely love this Pumpkin Bread recipe. Fall is so on right now, y’all!
