Spread it on toast, biscuits, pancakes, or waffles!

I love adding it to my overnight oats, yogurt and hot oatmeal. It can also be used as a dip for graham crackers, pretzels. or fresh fruit.

How do I make this Zero Point Pumpkin Butter?

You can either make it on the stove top, in a slow cooker, or an instant pot.

Here are the visual directions for cooking it in the slow cooker:

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Stir to mix well. 

Cook with the lid cracked open. This will allow for the steam to be released-and for excessive liquid to evaporate.

Cook on high for 2 hours, stirring a few times throughout to prevent burning.

Remove lid and continue to cook on high for another 1-2 hours or until pumpkin butter has reached desired consistency.

Let it cool completely before transferring it into a jar or an air tight container and refrigerating.

Pumpkin butter can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

 

Ingredients: 

  • 1 (15 oz.) can 100% pure pumpkin or pumpkin puree from fresh cooked pumpkin
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup sugar free syrup- I use Mrs. Butterworth’s sugar free syrup 
  • 1/2 cup zero point brown sugar sweetener-I use Lakanto golden monk fruit sweetener 
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger 
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice

Stove Top Directions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low heat.
  3. Cook for 18-20 minutes, stirring often to ensure the pumpkin doesn’t burn. 
  4. Remove from heat. 
  5. Let it cool completely before transferring it into a jar or an air tight container and refrigerating.
  6. Pumpkin butter can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

Slow Cooker Directions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Stir to mix well. 
  2. Cook with the lid cracked open. This will allow for the steam to be released-and for excessive liquid to evaporate.
  3. Cook on high for 2 hours, stirring often to ensure the pumpkin doesn’t burn. 
  4. Remove lid and continue to cook on high for another 1-2 hours or until pumpkin butter has reached desired consistency.
  5. Let it cool completely before transferring it into a jar or an air tight container and refrigerating.
  6. Pumpkin butter can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

Instant Pot Directions:

  1. Combine all ingredients except for the vanilla extract in the instant pot. 
  2. Stir well to combine and scrape down the sides.
  3. Place the lid back on securely, be sure pressure valve is closed, and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.
  4. Slowly release the steam, and remove the lid.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Turn off instant pot. 
  6. Let it cool completely before transferring it into a jar or an air tight container and refrigerating.
  7. Pumpkin butter can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

    This sounds yummy! Have you ever tried freezing it? I was thinking it might be nice to have for breakfast at Thanksgiving or Christmas (but without the work in the kitchen leading up to those 2 crazy cooking holidays, lol).

    I happened to read the post just before going to the store this morning, and it sounded good (and easy!) so I bought a can of pumpkin and made it. OMG!! Soooo good!! I was eating it by the spoonful as I was filling the jar to put in the fridge. I didn’t have sugar free syrup, just lite, so it may be a point for a serving…so worth it!! Thanks!!!

      Village Hearth light English Muffins are only 2 points. A local Fareway store also had their version. Ten more calories, but still 2 points. I stick up when I can find them or they are on sale.

    Amazing recipe-curbs my sweet tooth. I would like to adapt this for friends as a Christmas gift, but they do not use anything artificial (w/ref to s/f syrup). Have you ever done that. It would just be an adjustment to sugar, syrup. Thoughts on accomplishing this?

    Hi Lindsay, do you have a recipe for Applr Butter? I’m thinking you’ve sent it out but I can’t find it. The pumpkin butter is so quick & easy, as well as delicious ❤️ – I’d to try to make some apple butter also.

    Thanks!

    I absolutely love this stuff! I’ve made it many times. As soon as I use up my supply I make another batch! But it got me wondering about making sugar free preserves. I tried converting a regular recipe I found for instant pot, switching the sugar for lakanto, but it crystallized when I put in fridge. Would be great if you could work your magic and give us a great recipe for easy sugar free preserves!
