Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Mix Cinnamon and Sugar: Combine the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl to evenly distribute the warm spice flavor throughout the sweetener.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
