Pumpkin Nut Butter

October 10, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 35 Comments

Hello!!

I am sharing with you something that I think you should NOT make!!  Don’t do it!  No matter how tempting it maybe!  It’s pure danger!!!  If you do decided to make it, be warned that I told you not too!!

Yes I did it!  I combined peanut butter and pumpkin and came up with the most delicious creation!!  This spread tastes just like pumpkin pie, but thicker.  Holy pumpkin is it good!! I smeared it on toast, pumpkin bread, yogurt, oatmeal and yes, I even spooned it!!  If you haven’t made a homemade nut butter, you must!  Just do it!  Once you go homemade, you will never buy store bought again!!! Trust me on that!!!


I used cashew nuts for this recipe because the flavor isn’t as potent as peanuts.  I also used cashews to make a few of my other fun nut butters like Chocolate Coconut Cashew Nut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cashew Butter.  Yummy!  That reminds me I need to make more of the chocolate chip cookie dough cashew butter!  That went so fast in my house!  Remember when I came home from work and little Jenny ate most of it?  That made me upset!!  She never touches my nut butters, except for the chocolate chip one!!  It’s chocolate after all, I can forgive!

This recipe is really easy to make, if you have 10 – 12 minutes and a food processor then you can make Pumpkin Nut Butter!  All I did was add my nuts, process it until it smooths out, add the rest of my ingredients and process again until it’s creamy and drippy.  That’s it!  It’s not hard at all.  I found the hardest thing was making sure your food processor can handle nuts.  I recommend a 7 – 12 cup food processor to make this nut butter.  If you have smaller food processor, cut the recipe in half.  You don’t want to burn your motor out!  I did that ended up buying Zach, my precious 16 cup food processor!  Ahhhh, Zach…

I served the Pumpkin Nut Butter with a side of cinnamon and sugar pita chips!  Oh the chips are so good!!  That was a perfect combination!!!

    Do you think the pumpkin butter would be good in the center of a cake or even as the frosting. Haven’t made it yet but man it looks delish!!!

    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      October 10, 2012 at 7:39 PM

      Hi Jodi! You would have to make a lot of it for a center of a cake or as frosting. I honestly don’t think it would be great because it is really thick. It would be hard to spread. But if you did it, it would taste fantastic, but I don’t recommend it.

        October 10, 2012 at 7:42 PM

        I’m thinking here, I bet you could add do this recipe for frosting and it would work, but it’s not healthy. I saw this online at several places.

        1 cup creamy peanut butter (use the pumpkin nut butter)
        1 cup confectioners sugar
        5 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened to room temp
        1 tsp vanilla extract
        ¼ tsp salt
        1/3 cup heavy cream

        Otherwise I don’ think it would work. Maybe someone else can let us know what they think of a cashew nut butter as a frosting.

Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little furniture rearranging in my dining room. I decided to move my kitchen cart to the opposite side of my room, and I love it in its new spot. 
🍂
If you remember, I fixed the nail holes in this wall, so I could hang a normal picture. I love how centered my nail is. lol It’s the little things.
🍂
Now before anyone says anything. I covered my light switch with my picture. I never use it, so it doesn’t effect me. 
🍂
Speaking of pictures, how gorgeous is my sign from @krumpetshomedecor? It’s a fabulous size and I am calling it the moving sign. If you watched my reel last week, you will see that I used the spider side of the sign in my kitchen. I thought the fall side would be perfect in my dining room. Now I actually plan to move the sign again to my living room when I bring out the Fall bins. I have an idea in my head.
🍂
This little area of my home is what I am calling my transition from summer to fall. I have a little bit of rich end of summer colors with natural woods and my leaves. 
🍂
The falling leaves reversible sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🍂
What is your favorite Fall color?
.
PS. I think I got the big C 🦠. So I’ll be slow getting back to you.

Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to get Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to getting to everyone’s comments yesterday. I am still working on them. I was a little overwhelmed yesterday. Typical Monday. Plus to boot my husband got the big “C”🦠 So I have been dealing with that. 
🌼
I thought I would share with you a very simple way of styling a bowl. It would be beautiful on an entry, console or dining room table. The bowl is from the Targets Studio McGee line.
🌼
Hope you have the best day.

Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today is Samuels 1st birthday. I couldn’t resist showing his first year on Earth.
🐾
If you remember, I didn’t want another dog when Sampson passed last August, but Samuel was a blessing in disguise. He has helped me heal. 
🐾
I will be back tomorrow with decor. Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so e Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so excited that we put the dog crate away. It took up so much room in the kitchen and now it looks so open. I just wish my kitchen was wide enough for an island.
👻
I didn’t lose my mind decorating for Halloween. However @krumpetshomedecor is having there Fall and Halloween launch. So much fun! The sign above the door is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. It is a gorgeous one. I just love both sides. I used the Halloween side right now  because it matches my coffee bar. Plus I feel that way when people come to my home with my dogs. lol
👻
Also, the pillow and the Halloween sign on the side of the door is also from Krumpets Home Decor.

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last lo Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last look at the guest bathroom before the Fall season arrives. Pretty soon it will be filled with pumpkins.
💙
I actually have not changed any of the decor in the bathroom since February of this year. I love how it looks and didn’t want to change it.
💙
The plants in the tub were in my living room, but with having puppies, they were eating them and they are poisonous, so I put them in the tub and they have survived and doing well.
💙
The rug on the floor is from @studiomoutdoor. It’s a vinyl rug that is so perfect for cleaning up after the dogs. Plus they don’t eat these rugs! Yes, they have eaten all the rugs in my house, except for the dining room rug. Sigh….
💙
Do you have a room in your house that you don’t want to redecorate because you like it the way it is?

Happy Monday! Boy this weekend flew by and I didn’t get much done around the house. Though I am slowly starting to put away some summer stuff. 
🍋
But before putting away the lemons, I had to do a summer tiered tray. I haven’t made a tiered tray in months. I love how light and bright it is. It matches my kitchen nicely.

Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weeke Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weekend. This Saturday we have to take the dogs to the vet. Oh man! That’s a thing. The dogs drop dead on the driveway and refuse to go in the car. They do this going there and back. It’s a comedy scene, and so embarrassing. Not fun! lol
💙
I put together a little vignette for my kitchen counter. You are probably thinking, she always shares the kitchen. It’s because I do my day job at the kitchen counter and I get all these new ideas in my head and I just have to share. 
💙
I am loving the blue with the yellow and the green. It feels light and fresh. I also love my new candle from @candleberrycandle the scent is Bergamot Amber. It maybe my favorite scent from the collection. The scent is a mix of blue amber and oak with a vibrant burst of citrus and exotic florals. 
💙
Now through July 22nd Candleberry is having a pre-sale on the new Nouveau candle line. The official launch is August 1st. If you sign up for emails you get 15% off. 
💙
Disclosure: do not burn your candles under your cabinets. I did this to show the candle. I always burn my candles in an open area.

What are your weekend plans?

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share wit Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share with you my coffee bar. I kept starting to decorate it, then I’d get stuck and then the season would change and there it would sit for months bare. lol
☕️
I love the new look. It’s simple, has what we need and looks light and fresh. My husband actually noticed and said it was his favorite coffee bar yet. Then brings up how he hates the white fluffy stuff I use on the shelves for Christmas. I told him, I’m using the snow again this winter. He gives me the look.
☕️
The Coffee sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s reversible and I think the perfect addition to my coffee bar. The color and style go fabulous with my decor pieces.

The sign is also the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with you a simple way to make your floral displays last longer. I learned this trick from a local florist.
🌸
Ingredients:
4 cups of water (1 liter)
3 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Distilled Vinegar

Add sugar and vinegar to water. Stir until dissolved. Add flowers. Try to take off as many leaves as possible.
🌸
The sugar nourishes the flowers and the vinegar will stop bacteria growth.
🌸
After I put this arrangement together, I decided to take out the yellow flowers and cut the bouquet down a little. I think it looks better. I bought these flowers from the farmers market.
