    What Is Pumpkin Butter

    Despite the name, pumpkin butter does not contain any actual butter. It is a thick, spiced pumpkin spread made by simmering pumpkin puree down with sugar and spice until it thickens into something you can spoon straight onto toast. Think of it as a cross between pumpkin pie filling and apple butter, minus the dairy.

    Ways To Use Pumpkin Butter

    This spread is good on more than toast. A few of my favorite ways to use it:

    • Stir a spoonful into your morning coffee for an easy pumpkin spice latte
    • Swirl it into oatmeal or yogurt
    • Spread it on biscuits, waffles, or pancakes
    • Use it as a topping for ice cream

    Tips For Making Pumpkin Butter

    This mixture thickens fast, so give it a stir every minute or so once it starts to change color, so it does not scorch on the bottom of the pan.

    Storage

    After the pumpkin butter has cooled to room temperature store it in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 7-10 days.

    I like this glass latch storage jar, this Ball stack and store jar and these Ball crystal jelly jars.

    Top Tip

    This pumpkin butter is delicious on toast or a bagel. It is also amazing to add a dollop of this pumpkin butter to your morning cup of coffee to make a pumpkin spice latte.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is pumpkin butter made of?

    Pumpkin butter is a combination of pumpkin puree, sugar, lemon juice and spices. It can quickly be made on the stovetop in under 10 minutes.

    How long does pumpkin butter last?

    Pumpkin butter can be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 7-10 days. It can also be frozen in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.

    What can you put pumpkin butter on?

    Pumpkin butter is delicious on toast, toasted bagels or adding a dollop to your coffee for a pumpkin spice latte.

    In a saucepan over medium heat add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, honey, lemon juice, pumpkin pie spice and sea salt. Stir to combine.

    Heat while stirring until the sauce goes from bright orange to a dark orange and thickens a bit, about 5 minutes.

    Remove pan from heat and let the pumpkin butter cool slightly.

    Pour the pumpkin butter into a sealable container and let cool to room temperature.

    Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 7-10 days.

    Hint: Be sure to use pumpkin puree and not canned pumpkin pie filling.

    Non Alcoholic Spiced Apple Fizz Drink

    Fall calls for a drink that feels a little festive, and this spiced apple fizz delivers without any alcohol involved. Warm spices simmer right into the apple juice on the stovetop, then get topped with sparkling water for a bubbly, refreshing finish.

    This one is easy to make ahead, so it's perfect for Halloween parties, holiday gatherings, or a quiet fall afternoon at home.

    It's also a great option to have on hand for guests who aren't drinking, whether that's kids, someone who's pregnant, or anyone who just wants something festive without the alcohol.

    Why You'll Love This Mocktail

    This spiced apple fizz stands out from a typical apple cider mocktail because of the spice blend. Star anise and orange zest add a layer of flavor you don't get from cinnamon alone, giving the drink a little more depth without any extra effort.

    It's also genuinely make ahead friendly. The spiced apple juice base keeps in the fridge for up to a week, so all you have to do the day of is add sparkling water and ice.

    Variations

    Giving the visitor ideas on how they can change this recipe to better suit their dinner guests, or their cultural cuisine, is a great way to increase the chances they make the recipe

    • Spicy - add a pinch of cayenne pepper to give this drink a bit of a kick
    • Flavored Sparkling Water - use your favorite flavored sparkling water instead of plain sparkling water
    • Kid friendly - omit the star anise and whole cloves for a less spiced drink that kids will love

    Storage

    Store the prepared spiced apple juice in a sealed jar or bottle for up to a week in the refrigerator. Be sure to shake or stir the spiced apple juice before mixing your drinks.

    Top Tip

    Make the spiced apple juice base a day or two ahead of time. The spices have more time to infuse, so the flavor actually gets better as it sits in the fridge before you mix it with the sparkling water.

    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • Soft, chewy peanut butter cookie base
    • Topped with a classic Hershey's kiss
    • Easy to make in one bowl
    • Great for using up leftover holiday candy
    • Freezes beautifully for up to a month

    Why Are They Called Peanut Butter Blossoms?

    Peanut butter kiss cookies are also known as peanut butter blossoms. They were created by Freda Smith of Gibsonburg, Ohio, as an entry in the 1957 Pillsbury Bake Off. She originally called them Black Eyed Susans, but Pillsbury renamed them peanut butter blossoms, and they have been a holiday classic ever since.

    Ingredient Notes

    • Peanut butter: use a smooth, no stir creamy peanut butter rather than a natural style with oil separation, since it blends more evenly into the dough.
    • Gluten free flour: a 1 to 1 gluten free blend like Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 or King Arthur Measure for Measure works well here.
    • Hershey's Kisses: milk chocolate and special dark kisses are both labeled gluten free, but flavors like Cookies and Creme are not. Always check the label on any variety you use.

    Tips for the Best Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

    • Unwrap all your kisses before the cookies go in the oven, so you can press them in the moment the cookies come out.
    • If your kisses keep sliding off, try chilling them in the freezer for a few minutes first, this helps them hold their shape in the warm cookie.
    • Use room temperature butter and egg for the smoothest, most evenly mixed dough.

    Storage

    After the cookies have cooled completely store them in an air tight container for up to a week. These cookies freeze really well too. Store cookies in a freezer safe container or bag for up to one month in the freezer.

    Substitutions

    • Seasonal Hershey's Kisses - you can replace the milk chocolate kisses with seasonal flavors. The milk chocolate Hershey's kisses are clearly labeled gluten free on the back of the package. Be sure to check the packaging if you are using a different flavor of kisses to be sure they are also gluten free.

    Top Tip

    Unwrap all your Hershey's Kisses before the cookies go in the oven. You only have a few seconds to press them in once the cookies come out, so having them ready to go makes all the difference between a clean press and a melted mess.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Are Hershey's kisses gluten free?

    Some of the flavor varieties are clearly marked on the packaging as gluten free. There are some flavors that are not gluten free though so you must check the packaging for each kind before purchasing.

    Why are my gluten free cookies gritty?

    The gluten free flour you use is really important for the texture of your cookies. If you use a coarse ground gluten free flour your cookies will have a gritty texture. It's important that you choose a flour that is specifically for baking.

    I like Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour and King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten Free Flour. My baked goods have turned out well using either of these flours.

    Do gluten free cookies take longer to bake?

    Yes, gluten free cookies do tend to take longer to bake than cookies made with a gluten flour. The outside of the cookie will be browned, but they may not be cooked through in the center.

    If you are having this issue you can lower the oven temperature and bake the cookies a bit longer. I also only bake one baking sheet at a time of gluten free cookies. They need to be evenly heated to cook correctly.

    Why are they called peanut butter blossoms?

    Peanut butter kiss cookies are also known as peanut butter blossoms. They were created for the 1957 Pillsbury Bake Off by Freda Smith of Ohio, who originally called them Black Eyed Susans before Pillsbury gave them their now familiar name.

    Tips For The Best Gluten Free Cake Texture

    Scoop your gluten free flour into the measuring cup and shake it lightly to level, rather than packing it in tightly. Packed flour is one of the most common reasons gluten free cakes turn out dense. For the frosting, make sure the cream cheese and butter are fully at room temperature before mixing, so you don't end up with lumps.

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    This cake is as easy to make ahead as it is to serve. The layers bake up moist and tender, and since you can make them a day or two in advance and frost just before serving, it takes the stress out of hosting a fall gathering. It is also flexible enough to bake in two nine inch pans for a classic layer cake or five mini pans for a fun presentation, so it works for whatever you have on hand.

    Top Tip

    The combination of pumpkin and cream cheese is one of my favorite fall treats. This gluten free Pumpkin Cake would be perfect for a fall birthday or for a gathering. The cake is easy to make ahead and then frost the day of your event.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long will pumpkin cake last?

    I would suggest making the cake a day in advance of when you want to serve it. Then the next day your cakes will be completely cooled and ready to frost. This cake is best eaten the same day but will last for three days before getting dry. Store the leftover cake in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

    Can I freeze pumpkin cake?

    You can freeze the cake itself, but I would not freeze it once it has been frosted. The cream cheese frosting will not hold up to being frozen. You could make the cakes in advance, freeze them and then get them out the day before you want to frost them.

    To freeze, wrap the cooled cakes in plastic wrap and then again in aluminum foil. Place the cakes in the freezer for no more than one month. This is a great way to have the baking done for the holidays or a gathering.

    Description

    This layered gluten free pumpkin cake is moist, warmly spiced, and topped with a smooth cream cheese frosting. It works just as well baked in two nine inch pans or five mini pans, whichever you have on hand.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    Cake:

    • 4 large Eggs
    • 1 ½ cups Granulated Sugar
    • 2 cups Pumpkin Puree
    • 2 cups Gluten Free Flour
    • 3 tsp. Baking Powder
    • 1 tsp. Baking Soda
    • 1 tsp. Sea Salt
    • ½ tsp. Ground Cinnamon
    • 1 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice

    Frosting:

    • 8 ounces Cream Cheese, at room temperature
    • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
    • 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
    • 2 Tbsp. Almond Milk, or milk of choice
    • 3 cups Powdered Sugar

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Grease two nine inch or 5 six inch cake pans with butter or coconut oil.

    In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.

    In a stand mixer add the eggs, sugar and pumpkin puree. Mix until well blended together. Add the dry mixture ½ cup at a time until all is blended smoothly together. 

    Pour into greased pans and bake for 30 - 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Baking time will be effected by whether you use mini pans or 9-inch cake pans.

    For the frosting in a mixer blend together the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until smooth. Add the milk and powdered sugar and blend until smooth.

    I suggest waiting a day for the cakes to cool before frosting. Add a crumb coating of frosting between each layer and on the outside of the layered cake. Place in the freezer for at least one hour. When the crumb coating is set use the rest of the frosting to completely frost the cake.

    I garnished the cake with flowers, but toasted walnuts would also be a delicious option.

    Notes

    • Make sure you are using room temperature cream cheese and butter for the frosting so you don't get lumps.
    • I like to use full fat cream cheese for the frosting. I think the texture is better.
