Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Let butter sit at room temperature until softened.
In a saucepan, simmer maple syrup over medium heat. Reduce to medium-low and cook 10–12 minutes until it thickens and reduces by about 1/4. Let cool completely for 20–25 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat softened butter until creamy.
Add cooled maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon. Whip until fluffy and lighter in color.

Notes

Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra warmth.

Mix in finely chopped pecans or walnuts for a nutty variation.

Use a pinch of nutmeg or cloves for stronger spice.

Maple butter firms up in the fridge but softens again at room temperature.

Works as a spread or frosting for muffins, quick breads, and rolls.
