Description

Creamy Cinnamon Butter Spread is an easy-to-make, rich and flavorful spread combining smooth unsalted butter with warm cinnamon, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Perfect for enhancing toast, muffins, pastries, or pancakes with a cozy sweet-spiced twist. Made from simple ingredients, it offers a homemade alternative to store-bought spreads without preservatives or artificial flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Soften the Butter: Leave the unsalted butter out at room temperature for about 30 minutes until it softens but still holds its shape, making it easier to blend.
  2. Mix in the Powdered Sugar and Cinnamon: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with powdered sugar and ground cinnamon. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the mixture until smooth and creamy without lumps.
  3. Add Vanilla and Salt: Stir in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt to balance sweetness and enhance cinnamon flavor. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the spread and add more cinnamon or sugar if desired for a stronger spice kick or sweeter flavor. Mix thoroughly after adjustments.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Transfer the spread to a container and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up slightly and allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature for optimal spreadability.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier blending and a silky texture.
  • Sift powdered sugar before mixing to prevent lumps.
  • Use fresh ground cinnamon for the most vibrant flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually to avoid making the spread overly sweet.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent fridge odors.
