Skinny Pumpkin Butter

Fall is finally here! I am so excited, even though it is still warm outside, I am not even going to think about it. I know the weather will catch up soon. This pumpkin butter is a tad deceiving, because it is not butter at all. In fact, it does not have any butter in it. It is a spread that is so amazing, creamy, sweet, and this version is a skinny version of it. It was really easy to mix up and I have plans on using it in some great recipes to come in the next few days. However, it would be great spread on a piece of toast, on a bagel, or off a spoon. Wait, did I just say that? I have no idea how I would know that ...
