Pumpkin Spice Buttercream (No Powdered Sugar)

This silky, naturally-sweetened Pumpkin Spice Buttercream is a dreamy, fall-inspired frosting that pairs perfectly with cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and even pumpkin bread. Using a cooked flour base instead of powdered sugar gives it a smooth, velvety texture that isn’t overly sweet—just right for a balanced, flavorful frosting.
