Artificial Flavors Free Paleo Maple Cinnamon Ghee
Warm, sweet, and deeply aromatic, this compound ghee is the kind of spread that makes even a plain piece of fruit or a simple sweet potato feel like a treat. Every ingredient here is exactly what it says it is — pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon, fine sea salt, and real ghee — with no synthetic flavoring agents hiding anywhere in the mix. That matters more than it might seem, because conventional flavored spreads and butter blends often sneak in artificial vanilla or "natural flavor" catch-alls that can be hard to trace. Here, if you choose to add vanilla at all, it comes from pure vanilla powder, keeping the whole thing clean and transparent from start to finish. The technique is refreshingly simple: soften, whisk, taste, and chill. What you end up with is a silky, golden spread with a warm spiced sweetness that firms up beautifully in the fridge and keeps for weeks. Slather it on roasted vegetables, stir it into oatmeal, or let it melt over a stack of pancakes — it earns its place in the rotation fast.

16 servings

- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- ⅛ tsp pure vanilla powder (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Allow the ghee to sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes until it is soft and spreadable — similar in consistency to softened butter. It should yield easily to a spoon but hold its shape.
