Instant Pot Pumpkin Butter Recipe

This wonderful Instant Pot Pumpkin Butter recipe is so delicious and deliciously easy! Just add the simple ingredients to your Instant Pot and cook for 5 minutes and you have this wonderful pumpkin butter.

Making you own homemade pumpkin butter is so satisfying, plus so much better than store bought because you can add as much or little sweetness as you want, plus the ingredients are all natural, especially if you make your own pumpkin puree.

Pumpkin butter does have some sugar in it, but it’s a relatively small amount when you consider you’ll probably only use 1-2 tablespoons of pumpkin butter at a time. This makes it generally lower in calories than many spreads, and a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth.

If you have had apple butter, pumpkin butter is the pumpkin equivalent of apple butter. See my instant pot apple butter recipe and my instant pot peach butter recipe!

Fruit butters are basically a dairy-free spread made from cooking and pureeing fruit, usually with spices or sweeteners.

You can enjoy pumpkin butter in so many ways, spread it on bread, toast, pumpkin or apple bread, a roll, muffin or a bagel.

Use it on pancakes or in your oatmeal. Eat it out of the jar or warm it up and serve with ice cream.

Who knew making homemade pumpkin butter could be so easy – and so delicious!! Just a few simple ingredients and an Instant Pot!

If you do not have an Instant Pot, just add all of the ingredients to a pot, and bring the mixture to a boil on the stove top and then immediately reduce the heat to low, stirring often. Allow the pumpkin butter to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring often, then remove it from heat and let it cool completely.
