I firmly believe that there is no crime greater than using any type of artificial butter substitute. Light this or low fat that or margarine or anything that isn’t real, honest to God butter is just all sorts of wrong. And even more delicious is making this whipped pumpkin butter recipe!
By beating in a few delicious ingredients into real, softened butter, you have the perfect topping for biscuits, scones, or bagels. This stuff is butter, only even more awesome!
Canned pumpkin puree is whipped into softened butter and lightly sweetened with honey. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and real vanilla extract are added in and the result is a pumpkin butter that is far better than anything you could buy at the store.
Since I had a leftover canned pumpkin, I decided this pumpkin butter recipe would be the perfect addition to pancakes, biscuits, scones, or any other baked good that needs a bit of oomph (Try my blackberry honey butter recipe if you love flavored butter!)! It takes only minutes to make and is so incredibly creamy.

Making Whipped Butter
Now, I am a HUGE fan of my Kitchenaid mixer, however, to make this whipped pumpkin butter, I actually got out my old fashioned hand mixer. Sometimes I think it is easier to add things into the bowl while beating with just a hand mixer. But, either one would probably work just fine.
All the ingredients are pretty simple and things you most likely have on hand anyhow. I stock up on canned pumpkin during the post-holiday sales and it lasts all year. Yes, I could make my own pumpkin puree from scratch but who the heck has time for that?
So, what can you do with this whipped pumpkin butter once you make it? Try putting in on your pancakes or a buttermilk biscuit at dinner time. Maybe put it on top of your sweet potato or some butternut squash. There are a ton of great uses and it will last at least a couple of weeks in the refrigerator.
If you want it soft, take it out of the fridge and let it warm up before using it. Honestly, this homemade pumpkin butter is not going to last long in my house!
