I used this recipe, but modified a few things - I had no xanthum gum - to get this end result:

These look yummy and thank you for putting this up. I have a couple or three questions please.

-The coconut oil, can this be replaced with more canola oil? I haven't seen it on the shelves here, not that it may not be available, but not in our small town.

-Pumpkin spice: Which spices is this made up of as we can't buy it here, so I will have to mix my own.

- Pumpkin butter: Can you please explain what this is and an alternative as I've not heard of it before?

Sorry to sound a little dim, but I live in New Zealand and a lot of these things are not readily available here.

My father and my daughter are coeliac so any new recipe that actually works is very welcome.

They are pretty tasty!

The original recipe called for 8 TB of butter, at room temp. You could always revert to that, or base your subs on that amount.

Hmm, the blends vary. Mine has cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, ginger and lemon peel. A custom blend would definitely allow you to play favorites.

Pumpkin butter is a lot like apple butter, and you can make it yourself. I found this recipe and it seems pretty simple.

Good luck!

Thank you for the information. I hadn't come across apple or pumpkin butter before so this is really helpful thank you.

Extremely helpful over the spices too :)

I'm looking forward to making this.

I haven't heard of pumpkin butter before either. Thanks for the link!

I have a friend who is coeliac so I try to keep my eyes peeled for something I might make sometime for her and these sound like they could be great if I can figure my way around (and find the time to make) the pumpkin butter. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

The pumpkin butter sound easy, I think! I bought rather than made because I'd never heard of it myself and thought it was kind of weird. Turns out it's kind of delicious and now I want to make some so I can make homemade fruit newtons (not fig, because though I love them, the seeds make me think of ants) with it.
