Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Ensure the unsalted butter is at room temperature. This will make it easier to blend with the other ingredients.
In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork or a hand mixer to cream the room-temperature unsalted butter until smooth.
Gradually add olive oil to the creamed butter, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth and uniform mixture.
Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and sea salt, stirring well to incorporate them fully into the butter mixture.
Drizzle honey into the mixture, followed by adding the vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Taste the cinnamon butter, and adjust sweetness or saltiness by adding more honey or salt according to your preference.
Transfer the heart-healthy cinnamon butter to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
To use, allow the butter to soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or spread it directly on whole-grain bread, muffins, or pancakes.
