Hello!
I have recently started eating canned pumpkin in my oatmeal, and today before making my lunch, I realized I was out of peanut butter for my sandwich. I thought that maybe canned pumpkin would taste good spread onto a sandwich, but I wasn't sure how it would hold up until lunchtime, or how it would taste.
Has anyone tried this? Do you think it would taste okay?
Thanks for answering my kind of weird question. Lol.

Yum....try it! Add cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and/or sugar to taste. I'd eat it right between two slices of cinnamon bread.

I'm w/ " a cabingirl" on this. Pumpkin butter would be better. The raisin or cinnamon raisin bread suggestion from "2bzy" is good too. Pumpkin is rather bland. I'd perk it up with ground allspice berries, nutmeg, cinnamon and a LIGHT dash of cayenne. Maybe a dollop of molasses for sweetness. I like fruit butter on toasted bagels. I make peach, blueberry & cranberry every year. Cranberry butter w/ cream cheese and left over thanksgiving turkey are an annual treat. I'll have to try pumpkin butter.

I would make pumpkin butter and use that! - and I love the raisin bread idea, maybe with a layer of cream cheese!

Honey, if you like it...then it's fine. Pumpkin is extremely high in Beta Carotene and in fiber...it is very good for you.
Personally, I like pumpkin and make mini-pumpkin pies all the time. I'm not sure I'd like it plain on a sandwich, but who knows?

I haven't tried it , but you never know!!! I would think it may get kind of watery before lunchtime. Adding some spices like cinnamon sounds good, too. Good luck

It is not the same as peanut butter at all and would be rather runnier and bland.

You know what? I bet it'd be good on raisin bread.
