Base Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Soften the Butter: Let the unsalted butter sit at room temperature until completely soft but not melted; this creates a smooth base that is easy to blend with other ingredients.
- Mix Cinnamon and Sugar: Combine the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl to evenly distribute the warm spice flavor throughout the sweetener.
- Combine Ingredients: Using a hand mixer or sturdy spatula, blend the softened butter with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until fluffy and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Adjust Consistency and Flavor: Taste the spread and add more cinnamon for extra warmth or additional sugar for sweetness if desired. Briefly beat again if you add anything.
- Chill and Serve: Transfer the spread to a container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set flavors and firm up the texture. Serve cold or slightly softened on your favorite breakfast items.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter to ensure easier mixing and a smooth, creamy texture without lumps.
- Sift powdered sugar to prevent clumps and maintain a silky smooth spread.
- Use freshly ground cinnamon for brighter, more aromatic flavor.
- Do not overmix to keep the butter fluffy and avoid melting it with too much heat or beating.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prolong freshness and taste.
