Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. If it's hard, you can microwave it for about 10 seconds, but ensure it doesn't melt.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened butter.
Add the ground cinnamon, honey, and vanilla extract to the butter.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the mixture on medium speed until it is well combined and the texture is smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula occasionally to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated evenly.
Once the cinnamon butter is smooth and fluffy, transfer it to a small serving dish or a storage container with a lid.
For the best flavor, allow the cinnamon butter to sit at room temperature for an additional 10-15 minutes to meld the flavors before serving.
Store any leftover cinnamon butter in the refrigerator covered. It will last for about 1-2 weeks. To use, let it sit at room temperature to soften slightly for easy spreading.
