Whipped Pumpkin Butter

Get ready for fall with the perfect seasonal treat—Whipped Pumpkin Butter! Rich, fluffy, and ideal for pairing with pumpkin pancakes, toast, waffles, or muffins, this delicious butter comes together in under 5 minutes with just a few ingredients and an electric mixer.

• Butter: Choose a high-quality unsalted butter to achieve a light and fluffy texture. When creating compound butter flavours, it is best to avoid salted butter as it can make it difficult to control the amount of salt.
• Pumpkin Puree: This recipe is perfect for using up leftover canned or fresh pumpkin puree from all the fall baking.
• Pumpkin pie spice: I love the nuttiness and warmth of pumpkin pie spice, but you can also substitute it for cinnamon if you aren’t a fan of cloves and ginger.
• Maple syrup: I prefer maple syrup as my sweetener, but honey also works.
• Vanilla extract: Adding a little vanilla to the butter makes all the difference! But you can definitely skip this step.
• Salt: Sea salt, kosher salt or table salt can be used. I prefer sea salt for the texture and also find that sea salt tastes way less salty when combined with butter.

Step 1: To a large bowl, add butter, pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Using a handheld mixture whip the butter mixture for 2 minutes at low to medium speed.

Step 2: Add the maple syrup and vanilla and continue to mix at low for 30 to 50 seconds. Once the maple syrup and vanilla are fully incorporated, increase the speed of the mixer to high and whip for 2 minutes.

Step 3: Allow the butter to chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Pancakes, Waffles or Muffins – Pumpkin butter goes perfectly on a stack of warm pancakes.

Dinner rolls, toast, or sourdough—fresh bread and butter is a classic pairing, but pumpkin butter takes it to the next level. Its rich, spiced flavour elevates every bite, adding a cozy, seasonal twist.
