Artificial Food Coloring Free Paleo Maple Cinnamon Ghee
Spreadable, fragrant, and just sweet enough, this compound ghee is the kind of thing you'll want to keep on the counter at all times. It comes together with just a handful of clean ingredients — ghee, pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and an optional touch of vanilla powder — so there's nothing synthetic hiding in the mix. That matters more than you'd think, because many flavored spreads and butter alternatives on store shelves rely on artificial dyes or "natural flavor" blends that aren't always what they seem. Here, every ingredient is exactly what it says it is. The technique is simple: soften the ghee, whisk everything together until silky and streak-free, then chill until firm. Slather it on sweet potatoes, stir it into oatmeal, or melt it over a stack of pancakes and watch it disappear. Once you have a jar of this in the fridge, plain butter starts to feel like a missed opportunity.

- 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.
