Hazelnut Free Paleo Maple Cinnamon Ghee
Warm, sweet, and deeply aromatic, this compound ghee is the kind of spread that turns an ordinary piece of toast or roasted sweet potato into something genuinely special. Ghee gets whipped together with pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon, a pinch of sea salt, and optional vanilla powder until silky smooth — no complicated technique required, just a bowl and a whisk. Many flavored butters and spreads on store shelves sneak in nut-derived oils or natural flavors that can be a real concern, so making your own puts you completely in control of every ingredient. The whole process takes just a few minutes of active effort, and once it firms up in the fridge, you have a gorgeous, golden spread ready to go for weeks. It melts beautifully over pancakes, roasted vegetables, or grain-free baked goods, adding a caramel-like richness without any dairy solids. Store it in a glass jar on the counter or in the fridge, and it will quickly become a staple you reach for every single day.

Instructions

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.
