Okay. That pumpkin recipe you’re about to bake?
Set aside a tablespoon of the pumpkin purée.
It will be fine. Your recipe doesn’t need it.
Or perhaps it does. I don’t know what you’re making!
But I do know, this is more important.
You’re going to need this on your toast tomorrow morning. Or today. For a snack. Or a dessert. Just SAVE THAT TABLESPOON and trust me.
I had another recipe planned to post today, but then I made this.
Plans changed quickly.
Pumpkin Honey Whipped Butter
Inspired by Confessions of a Recipe Junkie
1/2 stick (4Tbsp) of unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon honey
1 Tablespoon pumpkin purée
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl with a fork. Whip vigorously until well combined. (It will look nasty at first.) You could even use an electric mixer to really get it whipped up.
2. Store in refrigerator. Spread on hot toast or a bagel or an English muffin (try to make it something better than my very lame piece of toast–at least buy some quality bread). Or whatever you want!
Verdict: So yummy. I’m going to eat this for breakfast every day for the rest of my life.
Husband’s take: He didn’t try this yet. I literally just whipped it up, photographed it and wrote this post. I had to share, and I had to share quickly.
Changes I would make: None.
Difficulty: Easy!
Also, we have a giveaway winner for the True Lemon Prize Package–Is it you?

Ooooo why did you show me this! Now this is all I’m going to be eating. Can’t wait!
I love you, Rachel! I was sitting here reading blogs trying to decide what to have for breakfast and then you show me! I’m going to follow suit and try it on a “very lame piece of toast” because that’s all I have and I’m not about to wait for better bread! I made a pumpkin recipe last night and have lots leftover, so this is perfect. Thanks!
What. Whaaaat. Why am I at work. I need to go home and make this right now and have second breakfast.
Nobody would mind, right?
Seriously this sounds and looks amazing. Can’t wait to give this a try!
Amazing! Loving this idea! I did a pumpkin cream cheese spread but never thought to just mix it into straight up butter! Smart thinking!
I think I may have to try this with my leftover frozen pumpkin from last fall. Eek! I was over zealous in my freezing of pumpkin. This looks delish!
Great idea! It is so tasty! I’ve been feeding my extra plain pumpkin puree to my one-year-old, she loves it!
LOVE this! i love honey butter, i can’t imagine how good this is with pumpkin + spices.
I think I might be able to set aside a whole jar of tablespoons of pumpkin puree to make this, holy goodness looking!
I will totally let you smear that all over my face.
Rachel!! This looks sooo yummy. Forget saving a tablespoon – I’m headed out to buy pumpkin just for this purpose! Then I’m making pancakes and I’m going to use it all up and have to make more for my toast on Sunday. YUM!!
OHHHHH MY!! This looks FABULOUS girl!!! I need to make some toast asap!
What a great idea
Your blog is adorable, keep inspiring!

I made a pumpkin soup today – and will post it next week for my countdown to Halloween. it is AMAZING!! 
I love honey butter and pumpkin so I know this will be delicious. Now I’m in the mood for cinnamon toast and I bet that would taste good with the pumpkin butter. I’m making this. Ooh I bet it would taste great in piping hot popovers as well.
Don’t know how to make them, check out my video.
OH my Goodness! Does this look good or what!?! Can’t wait to whip it together and give it a try!
I’ll definitely be saving some pumpkin when I make pumpkin pie in a few week. Yum!
Oooh! I love all things pumpkin, and pumpkin butter is on my docket this weekend. Now I think I’ll add this too (will take a lot less time before I can enjoy it!!!)
Wow, this looks so good. Am setting aside that spoon of pumpkin puree right now! Thanks for another gorgeous recipe.
Um, yum!!! Wowza!!! Sounds amazing and a perfect use for a little bit of pumpkin!
Love it! Everyday use for Pumpkin!
I want to eat this for breakfast for the rest of my life too!! This looks amazing!
Oh my goodness! This looks fabulous!!!! I’m going to have to make this!!!
I just pinned this. MUST make it when I go home for Thanksgiving.
Oh my! what a perfect seasonal treat..
