What’s 3-Ingredients, takes less than 5 minutes to make, and tastes like Fall on a spoon?

3-Ingredient Pumpkin Butter, of course!

Pumpkin Butter is traditionally a combination of pumpkin puree + sweetener + spices that is cooked down on the stovetop until thick and glossy….almost like a jam.

I’m taking the untraditional route here today and sharing a no-bake version with you! My version of pumpkin butter is still creamy and spreadable, but has a lighter, almost fluffy texture to it.

I’m a huge pumpkin fan, so when Fall rolls around I’m pretty much looking for any and every excuse to make pumpkin-infused treats a daily thing. Which also means I get stuck with a lot of half-used cans of pumpkin puree that end up sitting in my fridge.

One day I had the (brilliant) idea to make a quick & easy pumpkin butter by mixing pumpkin puree with pumpkin pie seasoning and coconut butter for a rich and “buttery” mouthfeel!

First, mix the Pumpkin, Spices, and (optional) Sweetener together in a bowl, then stir in the Coconut Butter.

It’s important to mix the pumpkin puree and spices together first, especially if they’re colder than room temperature. You can also add in a splash of maple syrup here, if you’d like things to be a little sweeter.

Once the mixture is evenly combined, add the melted coconut butter. Coconut butter (which is blended shredded coconut) is a solid at room temperature. It’s important to whisk in the mixture quickly here, so it will evenly incorporate into our Pumpkin Butter without solidifying and creating solid “chunks.” (Side Note: You can purchase coconut butter in most grocery stores or online. See the recipe notes for other substitutions!)

Enjoy immediately, or store in the fridge for a few hours to get a thicker consistency

Once you put your pumpkin butter in the fridge, the coconut butter will really start to solidify and thicken the mixture into a….spreadable butter! As you can see in the photo above, the final texture is somewhere in the middle between total mousse and uber-thick spread.

Keep the Pumpkin Butter in a glass container in the fridge for up to two weeks, and use as desired…a.k.a. spread it on ALL the fall things!!!

Ways to Use Pumpkin Butter:

• Spread on cinnamon raison (or regular) toast and topped with pumpkin seeds, 
• Stirred into creamy oatmeal,
• Blended with coffee,
• Dolloped on top of Pumpkin Muffins or Pumpkin Bread,
• or simply by the spoonful 😉

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 3/4 cup (180 g) unsweetened pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice blend
• 1 tablespoon grade A maple syrup (optional)
• 1/4 cup (56 g) coconut butter, melted

Instructions

1. Add the pumpkin puree, spice blend, and optional maple syrup to a medium bowl and whisk until well combined.

Notes

• To melt Coconut Butter, place the jar in a bowl of hot water and wait 5-10 minutes until melted, or microwave the jar for 30-45 seconds. It can also be replaced with another nut or seed butter of your choosing, but the final mixture won’t be as thick and spreadable
• Maple Syrup can be replaced with another liquid sweetener of choice (Agave, Date Syrup, etc)
