Clean Eating Pumpkin Butter
October 2, 2012 · by ·
Aaaah, fall has arrived in all it’s red, gold and brown glory. It’s my absolutely favorite time of the year. I seem to come alive during this season, and so does Mini Chef. All the leaves to jump in, tree branches to shake (leaf rain!) and of course, PUMPKINS!!!!
Pumpkins are my absolute favorite part of the season (well, and Halloween…). They are so delicious regardless of how you prepare them, and packed with nutrition too!
Last year, I tried my hand at creating a pumpkin butter recipe and failed miserably. I tried again and again and just could not get it right. I guess timing is everything because this year, I hit a home run on my first attempt. I just love it when that happens!
Mini Chef LOVES this on toast with peanut butter. It’s a great way to start your morning!
