Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Beat the Butter: In a medium-sized bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy, creating a fluffy base for your spread.
- Add Pumpkin and Spices: Incorporate the pumpkin puree, honey, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract into the butter. Continue beating until all ingredients are well blended and the mixture is smooth.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the butter and tweak the flavor as desired—add more honey for increased sweetness or extra cinnamon for a spicier kick.
- Store Properly: Transfer the pumpkin spice honey butter to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften for easier spreading.
- Serve and Enjoy: Spread generously on toast, muffins, pancakes, or any favorite baked goods to enjoy the festive fall-inspired flavor with every bite.
Notes
- Soften the butter beforehand for easier mixing; you can leave it out at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- This butter keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Adjust spices according to your taste preferences for a milder or more pronounced fall flavor.
- Letting the butter sit at room temperature before spreading enhances its texture and flavor release.
