Popular Substitutions & Additions

• Molasses can be used in place of the maple syrup. Even date syrup would be good in this sweet compound butter recipe.
• If you can’t find vegan butter, you can substitute vegan-friendly margarine in its place.  
• If the maple isn’t satisfying your sweet tooth, try mixing in a tsp of brown sugar for some extra sweetness.
• Rember that loaded sweet potato I was talking about earlier? If you aren’t sure how to make one, all you need to do is add a generous portion of your maple cinnamon butter, sprinkle some cinnamon and brown sugar on top of that, and top with your marshmallows. Place the sweet potato under a broiler for 3-5 minutes until the marshmallows start to char and enjoy! 

How To Store Maple Cinnamon Compound Butter

The best way to store this sweet vegan butter is in the fridge.  To keep it fresh, make sure that it is in an airtight container.  It will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge (giving you plenty of time to try it on different things!).  

If you aren’t ready to use it yet, this butter can also be frozen for up to 6 weeks in a sealed container.  

To thaw it, place it in the fridge for 24 hours.  You won’t want to store this compound butter at room temperature.  If it is not cooled, the maple syrup will begin to separate from the butter - we don’t want that to happen!
