Cinnamon Pumpkin Butter

Thursday, September 22, 2016

It's the first day of fall and that means pumpkin everything season is here! I've challenged myself to post at least one pumpkin recipe a week from now until Thanksgiving. First up, whipped cinnamon pumpkin butter which is super easy and BONUS you can put it on practically anything!

Ingredients:

  • 2 sticks of unsalted butter (8 ounces) at room temperature 
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup of honey
Instructions: Using a stand mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, vanilla and honey and beat until fully incorporated. Serve at room temperature or store in the fridge in an airtight container.

These little jars would make a great hostess gift paired with a loaf of homemade pumpkin bread, and the cute chalkboard labels are from Lilly & Val.







Stayed tuned for a new pumpkin recipe next week!
