Why I Keep This in My Fridge Every Fall
When I first made this whipped pumpkin spice honey butter, I spread it on a warm biscuit and nearly cried. It was like fall had come to life in my mouth. Now, it’s a staple every season—I keep a jar in the fridge from September through November. It’s become part of our weekend breakfasts and even sneaks into holiday meals (try it on cornbread or roasted sweet potatoes—you’re welcome).
What to Serve with Pumpkin Spice Butter
This fall spread is the ultimate companion for baked goods. Spread it on muffins, waffles, pancakes, toast, or dinner rolls. Stir it into oatmeal or use it to top French toast. It’s even amazing melted over roasted root veggies for a sweet-savory twist.
How to Store This Fall Favorite
Keep your pumpkin spice butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit out for about 10 minutes before serving so it softens to that perfect, spreadable consistency. You can also freeze it—just spoon into freezer-safe jars and thaw overnight in the fridge when ready to use.
FAQs About This Whipped Honey Butter
Can I use salted butter?
Sure! Just reduce or skip added salt in your meal to balance it out.
Can I use canned pumpkin pie mix instead of pumpkin purée?

Is it kid-friendly?
Absolutely! It’s gently sweet and perfectly spiced for little taste buds.
