Notes-I ve made the whipped pumpkin butter with both honey and maple syrup. I prefer maple syrup when using it on pancakes waffles and french toast and honey when using it on rolls. Feel free to use whichever you prefer!-If you like your french toast on the sweeter side add 1 tbsp. of brown sugar to the mixture.This article and recipe adapted from this site
