Who needs potpourri when you can make The Best Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter and make your ENTIRE house smell like Fall. It is the best smelling and honestly the only thing that is better than the smell.. is the TASTE! Our family loves that little sweetness in the morning– my father especially. I am always trying to get him to eat less sugar so he doesn’t crash. The mornings after all are where we fuel our selves for the day and if we fuel our selves with crap… how are you going to feel? Like crap!
That is why when I was coming up with The Best Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter I wanted to be able to create a recipe that was less on sugar but not less in amazing taste. Also where we aren’t packing it full of preservatives or other artificial ingredients to cut on the sugar.
This recipe could not be easier and is something your whole entire family will love and absolutely benefit from in the morning without the crash!
What Ingredients are in The Best Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter?
Below are the easiest and most delicious ingredients that make up The Best Slow Cooker Pumpkin Butter. Put together in under 10 minutes and then sit back and let the Slow Cooker do the magic!
1 can of pumpkin puree NOT pumpkin pie
1 cup sugar of choice
I have tried this recipe with coconut sugar, regular cane sugar and granulated monk fruit sweetener.
Coconut Sugar– gives it less of a pumpkin taste and color, more of a caramel hint
Cane Sugar- tastes great, but if you are wanting less sugar and same taste the monk fruit sweetener is a perfect choice
Monk Fruit Sweetener– makes this recipe no added sugar except what is in the apple cider, same great taste as above
1 cup apple cider
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
1/4 tsp salt
