Keto Pumpkin Butter Recipe – A Low-Carb Fall Favorite

When fall rolls around, nothing says cozy comfort like warm spices and pumpkin. While apple butter often steals the spotlight, pumpkin butter is just as delicious—and for those following a keto lifestyle, it’s actually easier to adapt. Pumpkin is naturally lower in sugar and carbs than apples, which makes it the perfect base for a rich, flavorful spread that won’t kick you out of ketosis.

This Keto Pumpkin Butter Recipe is silky, warmly spiced, and perfectly sweetened with Keystone Pantry Allulose and Keystone Pantry Brown Sugar Substitute. Spread it on low-carb breads, swirl it into yogurt, or simply enjoy it by the spoonful.

🥄 Keto Pumpkin Butter Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree (100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)

• ½ cup Keystone Pantry Allulose

• ¼ cup Keystone Pantry Brown Sugar Substitute

• ½ cup water (or unsweetened almond milk for creaminess)

• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of nutmeg, allspice, and cloves)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

• (Optional) Zest of ½ orange or splash of bourbon for depth of flavor

Instructions

1. Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, whisk together pumpkin puree, water (or almond milk), Keystone Pantry Allulose, Keystone Pantry Brown Sugar Substitute, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt.

2. Simmer Slowly: Bring mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Stir often and cook for 20–30 minutes, until it thickens and darkens slightly.

3. Taste & Adjust: Check sweetness and spice level. Add more cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, or sweetener to suit your taste. For a thicker spread, stir in ½ tsp xanthan gum at the end.

4. Cool & Store: Let cool fully, then transfer to a glass jar. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks, or freeze in portions for longer storage.

🍂 Why These Ingredients Work

• Pumpkin Puree – Naturally low in carbs and packed with fiber, vitamins A and C, and beta-carotene. It gives the butter its smooth texture and golden-orange color.

• Keystone Pantry Allulose – A rare sugar that tastes like sugar but has almost no calories or carbs. It browns and caramelizes slightly, enhancing the butter’s flavor without spiking blood sugar.

• Keystone Pantry Brown Sugar Substitute – Adds depth with a rich molasses-like sweetness that balances the pumpkin and spices. Essential for that cozy fall flavor.

• Water or Almond Milk – Thins the puree slightly, helping it cook down into a smooth spread. Almond milk adds creaminess without extra carbs.

• Cinnamon & Pumpkin Pie Spice – Warm, aromatic spices that transform pumpkin into the flavor of fall.

• Vanilla Extract – Adds smoothness and rounds out the flavor profile.

• Salt – Just a pinch brightens and balances all the sweet and spicy notes.
