Pumpkin Dip

I literally want something pumpkin flavored every single day of fall. Actually it may extend all the way to Valentine’s Day, but I digress.

What I don’t want is something that is sugary sweet or loaded with fake pumpkin ingredients. As I’ve told you before, I love dips, sauces & dressings, so I decided a lightly sweetened, pumpkin dip would be the perfect thing for afternoon snacks & fall gatherings.

The great thing about this Pumpkin Dip is its flexibility. It can be a delicious afternoon snack, an after dinner dessert or serve a crowd at a gathering. I think it would probably even be delicious at breakfast spread on a muffin or piece of gluten-free toast.

And I love that it only has 6 whole food ingredients & is so easy to make!
