Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Ensure the unsalted butter is at room temperature. This will make it easier to blend with the other ingredients.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork or a hand mixer to cream the room-temperature unsalted butter until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add olive oil to the creamed butter, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth and uniform mixture.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and sea salt, stirring well to incorporate them fully into the butter mixture.

Step 5

Drizzle honey into the mixture, followed by adding the vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Taste the cinnamon butter, and adjust sweetness or saltiness by adding more honey or salt according to your preference.

Step 7

Transfer the heart-healthy cinnamon butter to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Step 8

To use, allow the butter to soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or spread it directly on whole-grain bread, muffins, or pancakes.
