Things You'll Need
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon (plus more for topping)
1/4 tsp. salt
Dash of ground nutmeg
1. Slice the butter
Place the butter in a large bowl. If you'd like, slice the butter so it's easier to mix.
2. Beat the butter
With a hand mixer, beat the butter until it's soft and smooth, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides and the whisk attachments. The butter will clump up in the whisks at first, but it will get easier to mix as you whip it.
Tip
You can also use a stand mixer.
3. Add the remaining ingredients
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
4. Combine the ingredients
Beat the ingredients until combined or until the maple syrup and vanilla are fully incorporated. The color should be evenly light brown; if some of the mixture is still yellow, continue mixing it.
5. Serve and enjoy
Enjoy your homemade whipped maple butter immediately. Store any leftover butter in an airtight jar in the refrigerator.
Tip
Before using refrigerated maple butter, let it soften and come to room temperature.
