This Healthy Pumpkin Walnut Butter is the perfect spread for a healthy new year — it’s creamy, it’s sweet and it’s full of flavor. Pumpkin + cinnamon is a fantastic combination, kind of like how well peanut butter + jelly go together. But take that pumpkin + cinnamon combo up a notch, add a hint of sweetness and a kick of walnuts, and now you have found a symphony of flavor!
Mmmmmm 🙂
