This healthy pumpkin peanut butter spread can be used for pancakes, sandwiches, or you can eat it with a spoon.
Once upon a time, the dashing Mr. Skippy met beautiful Ms. Libbys.
Nine months later, they welcomed a baby into the world.
This baby came about after my pumpkin-spice latte post last week, when people left such awesome ideas on how to use up a can of pumpkin.
I think at least three of you mentioned pumpkin peanut butter as an option, so I had to play around with that idea first.
Other recipes I’m working on include chocolate pumpkin brownies and pumpkin cream cheese bars. If the recipes turn out well, I’ll post those in the near future.
P.S. This pumpkin peanut butter is great on Vegan Pancakes!
Pumpkin Peanut Butter
This pumpkin peanut butter spread can be used for pancakes, sandwiches, or you can eat it with a spoon.

- 1/3 cup canned or pureed pumpkin
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2-6 tbsp nut butter of choice, or allergy-friendly sub
- optional sweetener of choice as desired, and pinch salt
InstructionsÂ
- Mix all ingredients together, either with a spoon or in a food processor. If your peanut butter is hard and not stir-able, you might want to gently warm it up a little first. This spread is good on toast, in oatmeal, or even eaten straight-up.View Nutrition Facts

I was so excited when I got your tweet about this, but then worried I wouldn’t be able to make it because for some strange reason I am still food processor-less. I am going to make jars upon jars of this and I might give it away as a gift when the holidays come around. If it survives, that is.
Mocha sunflower seed butter would be a dream flavour for me.
Or just getting Sunbutter to import to the UK!
Love the idea for extending nut butters with pumpkin though: once I can actually get my hands on a can I might extract some from my oat bran (favourite use for pumpkin) and give it a try.
