#PumpkinWeek ~ Whipped Cinnamon Pumpkin Honey Butter

Welcome to the final day of #PumpkinWeek! Hosted by Terri from Love and Confections, 21 Bloggers have now shared 81 pumpkin-filled recipes over the course of the past week. Be sure to browse back through each day to see all the delicious creations - from muffins to cakes, cocktails, breakfast baked goods, savory pastas and stews, and gluten-free recipes too. You can also find these great recipes and more on Love and Confections' #PumpkinWeek Pinterest Board!

On Wednesday I shared some homemade pumpkin rolls, and this whipped butter is the perfect accompaniment for them. Warm from the oven, slather this tasty concoction over the top, or break one open and stuff some inside and sit back and say mmmm.... This butter takes just minutes to whip together and is lightly spiced with a touch of sweet to compliment the pumpkin blended in. You can increase the vanilla, honey, and / or cinnamon to your personal tastes, but I thought the quantities below yielded a lovely, lightly flavored butter that works so well with warm, toasted rolls. Slather this on French Toast, your morning slice of toasted bread, pancakes, etc. There are so many ways to use this delicious treat!

Thank you for joining us over the past week for #PumpkinWeek - I always so look forward to this week. It gives me a nudge to get out there and make some of the amazing goodies I've been stashing away on my Pumpkin Pinterest page. :) Next is some version of pumpkin soup. I still have a few cups of homemade pumpkin puree in my refrigerator - so that is definitely going to be making an appearance in my kitchen at some point next week!
