Ingredients & Substitutions

Pumpkin Pie Spice - This is the star of the recipe. You can use store-bought pumpkin pie spice or make your own with my Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend.
Honey - Adds a touch of sweetness. You can replace it with maple syrup or powdered sugar.
Vanilla - Enhances the overall flavor of pumpkin spice butter.
Salt - Skip salt if you are using salted butter.
Variations:
You can swap honey with maple syrup for a deeper flavor.

How to make Pumpkin Pie Spice Butter
Bring the unsalted butter to room temperature until it is soft enough to mix easily. Add pumpkin pie spice and salt to the butter and mix well.
Add pumpkin puree, honey and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Use a hand mixture, spatula or spoon to mix everything until it's creamy and fluffy.
Give it a quick taste and add a little more honey or pumpkin spice if needed.
Tips & Notes:
- Use fresh and high quality ingredients for the best results.
- Do NOT use pumpkin pie filling.
- Use softened, room temperature butter so everything blends easily.
- Adjust the sweetness and spice level according to your preference.
- If you are making it ahead, let it soften before serving. Cold butter will be hard to spread, take it out of the fridge sometime early.
Serving suggestions:
Spread it on warm waffles, toast, pancakes, or muffins for an instant fall flavor.
Use it as a topping for roasted sweet potatoes or baked apples for a cozy dessert.
Pack it in small jars and gift it to family and friends during the holidays.
Add it to a cozy fall breakfast platter along with other homemade spreads like Instant Pot Strawberry Jam, Raspberry Chia Jam, White Chocolate Pistachio Butter, and Mango Cardamom Jam.
Storage suggestions:
Store the pumpkin pie spice butter in a clean, airtight container or jar. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks. If you want to store it for a longer period of time, freeze it in small portions or silicon molds. It keeps well in the freezer for up to 3 months.
