HEALTHY pumpkin butter made in 20 minutes. Ingredients include pumpkin puree, apple cider, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and cinnamon. Pumpkin Butter is delicious on waffles, pancakes, toast, as a fruit/veggie dip and more!
Waffles have been a go to breakfast for us lately, because they are both delicious and quick. With frozen waffles, you throw them in the toaster oven for 6 minutes and they’re done. Then it’s up to you how you want to eat them – do you use syrup? How about jelly? How about butter? How about.. pumpkin butter?
Pumpkin Butter Recipe
If you want to make your own fresh pumpkin puree for this recipe you totally can. Here’s my tutorial I made for it last year. To me, nothing tastes better than homemade pumpkin puree. If you are going to make your own, use a sugar pumpkin. They give you the most taste. Plus, they are real beauties.
What else is a beauty? My Bofinkles is. Sorry, I’m easily distracted by cats. They put a spell on me.
To make the pumpkin butter you’ll only need a few ingredients.
With pumpkin puree, apple cider, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and cinnamon your pumpkin butter is made!
And then it’s time to get down to business with spooning it on.
Take a generous spoonful of pumpkin butter and put it on top of your waffles. Then spread it around with a butter knife.
Hope you enjoy this pumpkin butter on top of waffles very soon for breakfast!
It’s also delicious on pancakes, toast or used as a dip for apples!

I don’t have a waffle iron, so frozen is the only way I get waffles around my house. Never had them with pumpkin butter, though. But I will. Unless, of course, I get distracted by our kitty. 🙂 Good stuff — thanks.

You’ve reminded me that i haven’t watched Dirty Dancing in far too many years…. I love pumpkin butter and using it on waffles sounds like a great idea!
laurasmess says
Oh you guys are the cutest!!! Ha! Love the GIF. Almost as much as I love the idea of shoveling this gorgeous, glossy pumpkin butter into my mouth with a spoon (I mean, atop of waffles, if I can wait for the waffles to be ready!). Lovely post. The Aunt Jemima waffles sound super convenient!
Lokness @ The Missing Lokness says
Cute blog! I have seen many pumpkin butter all over the place, but I never had some. I thought pumpkin butter takes hours to make. Yours look very easy! These will make great holiday gifts!
Miss Messy says
Very cute gif! This pumpkin butter looks delicious! 🙂 And I love dirty dancing too!
Joanne says
I still haven’t had any pumpkin butter yet this season, and that must change! Love how easy your recipe is to throw together!
Kelly @ Hidden Fruits and Veggies says
Want to hear a secret? I’ve never seen Dirty Dancing! I have, however, eaten plenty of pumpkin butter and frozen waffles in my day. Sounds like a winning combo!
Katie says
I make mine in the slow cooker and let it get REALLY thick because that’s how I like it. SO delicious!
I have already made two batches this year (BLUSH). The first was your standard pumpkin butter, but the second I got all fancy. With BOURBON. And orange peel. Even more delicious and not safe for kids, so MORE FOR ME.
Muahahaha.
Ashley says
I’m definitely a waffle girl all the way – love the sound of that pumpkin butter for a topping!
Carol at Wild Goose Tea says
I love Dirty Dancing. I have been thinking of watching it again. You have pushed me over the edge.
I do love waffles—-a lot. In fact I have been on a waffle kick for about 3 months now. This pumpkin butter is beyond butter. Wowzer. Yes, I am a major cat lover. So I love the picture. I have 3 cats. But I love dogs, so I have two of those. All of them are rescue animals and they so enhance my life!
Becky says
I just want to eat this with a spoon too!
