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!!!

      Good morning! I would imagine that it would keep for at least a couple of weeks. Mine has been in the frdge for 5 days now and its still good as the day I made it.

    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.

        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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?
