Chestnut Free Paleo Maple Cinnamon Ghee
Warm, sweet, and faintly spiced, this compound ghee is the kind of thing that makes a plain piece of toast feel like a treat worth slowing down for. It comes together with just a handful of pantry staples — ghee, pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and an optional touch of vanilla powder — so there's no complicated technique or long ingredient list standing between you and something genuinely delicious. The process is as simple as softening the ghee, whisking everything together until smooth, and letting it firm back up in the fridge. Because every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts and nut-adjacent additives, you can spread it generously without second-guessing the label on a store-bought flavored butter. It's equally at home melted over roasted sweet potatoes, stirred into oatmeal, or slathered on a warm paleo pancake. Store it in a glass jar on the counter or in the fridge, and you'll have a ready-made finishing touch for weeks.

16 servings
- 1 cup ghee, at room temperature (softened but not melted)
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 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.

Transfer the softened ghee to a medium bowl. Add the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, fine sea salt, and vanilla powder, if using.
