Pumpkin Butter Recipe

November 16, 2020 By Julie Lanford MPH, RD, CSO, LDN

I will admit, I was skeptical about this recipe at first. I couldn’t believe pumpkin butter could be so simple! But yes it’s true, in no time at all, you can have a delicious, fun fall spread to use for so many things!

Here are some of the many uses for pumpkin butter:

  • Toast 
  • Biscuits 
  • Graham crackers 
  • Oatmeal 
  • Rice cakes 
  • PB squared [peanut butter and pumpkin butter sandwich] 😉

If you’re an extra handy, adventurous chef, then try your hand at making your own pumpkin puree! There is a great video here to show you how!
