Sugar-Free Pumpkin Butter

A delicious, homemade sugar-free pumpkin butter recipe, that is healthy and nutritious. Perfect for fall, this sugar-free pumpkin butter is quick and simple!

Oh yes, pumpkins are here and here to stay. Well, for the next few months at least. And I'm vowing to take full advantage of this fabulous time of year. As in I plan to put pumpkin in everything. That's acceptable, right?

Even if it's not, I'm doing it anyway. Because you want to know a little secret about me? I love pumpkin. So much so that I went through three pie pumpkins this weekend. Yes, three!

I have cans upon cans of pumpkin puree in my fridge right now, just dying to be used. My mind is swirling with recipes, both old and new. From my vegan pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins and pumpkin cookies, to exciting new dishes like pumpkin pie smoothies and pumpkin breakfast cake.

But before anything else, I was dying to make my own pumpkin butter (sugar-free of course).

Sugar-free Pumpkin Butter - Queen of Quinoa

Let me just say, pumpkin butter is probably one of the best things on earth. It's like spreadable pumpkin pie filling. Think pumpkin pie on toast. Pumpkin pie for breakfast. Yep, I think I need to make a slice right now. So I leave you with this. Another awesome pumpkin recipe!

  1. simple and turned out pretty good………I didn’t have pie pumkin but used a huge yellow one I grew….which made it a little watery but still the taste was good……thanks

  2. Hello, and thanks for this recipe. It looks delicious. I just pulled 2 cups of puree I made before from my freezer.

    I’ve just begun eating warm millet for breakfast, with a bit of fruit and whipped coconut cream, and this will be good change up to use instead of either blueberries or strawberries.

    Please, what quantity of the pumpkin butter is used to arrive at your nutritional calculations?

    Thank you.

  3. I see the nutritional information information noted, but do not see the quantity used to determine the calculation.
    Can you please tell me the quantity for the nutritional information noted?

    I just pulled out 2 cups of puree I made in January from my fall pumpkins. This looks delicious.
    Thank you.

    1. hmm, I would start by adding the ingredients to 2 cups of the puree you made and then adjusting from there adding more pumpkin if you need to

  4. Hello: I love anything pumpkin also!! I can’t buy a pumpkin right now so would you kindly provide me with the equivalent of canned pumpkin puree,

    Thank you

  5. Got my pumpkin cubes ready, bit of cooking and then…. Butter and the pancake recipe too. Plenty to keep us going. Huge mixed salad at the ready and, I fancy a go at quinoa tortillas too…..wraps anybody?

    1. You can and I think it would just be a 1:1 sub 🙂 Might just need a little less cooking time since the canned pumpkin has less liquid. Enjoy it!

  6. Just curious. What are your thoughts about substituting coconut palm sugar in place of maple syrup, and what measurement would you suggest? I’ve searched and searched for a refined sugar-free pumpkin butter recipe and this one is the only one I want to try! Can’t wait! Thanks so much!

    Oh my gosh! This looks so easy, don’t know why I haven’t made this yet. I love it!! I used to buy the authentic jars of mountain-made pumpkin butter, and always bought the sugar-free kind. I will have to try this homemade version soon!:) THANK YOU!

    1. It is!! So, so easy 🙂 I literally just made like 10 jars of it and have them in my freezer so I never run out. It tastes amazing on toast, but also makes a great pancake/waffle topper!!

        Yay! Thanks so much ! I’m making this tomorrow!:) Also going to post it on my Fab Finds Friday post on my blog!:)

  8. Sorry, but as a diabetic I find it very misleading to advertise your recipes as ‘sugar free’ when you have maple syrup in it. You may see it as more flavorful sort of equivalent to brown sugar perhaps or less refined, but in terms of sugar 3TBs of maple syrup is the equivalent of 3TBs of granulated sugar or brown sugar. They all have 12-13 grams of carbs and 12 sugars. And that is if you possess pure maple syrup and not the more common, less expensive items that are mixtures of sugar in it.

    1. Hi PLN –

      I really value the feedback and I will start tailoring my recipes to start saying refined sugar-free. To me, as someone who doesn’t consumer cane sugar, my recipes are sugar free. However I completely understand your perspective, and you’re right, technically my “sugar-free” recipes do contain sugar. I’m so sorry about that. For this recipe, I would suggest either using no sweetener at all or adding a touch of stevia (if you can consume that).

      Hope this helps and I hope you continue to enjoy QofQ 🙂

    These looks so simple! and delicious! I wonder if you can process it? like canning in a water bath? I am going to look that up! I would love another way to use and store pumpkin 🙂

  11. I love pumpkin everything too, so glad Autumn is here so I can indulge in pumpkin foods. 🙂 Great recipe! I can’t wait to make some tomorrow.
