Whipped Maple Cinnamon Butter

Whipped maple cinnamon butter might just be the easiest way to make anything taste like fall. It’s sweet, creamy, and lightly spiced with cinnamon — the kind of spread that turns even the simplest toast or pancake into something special. I love serving it with warm biscuits, banana bread, or just a slice of good crusty bread. It keeps beautifully in the fridge, so you can make it ahead and have a little jar of cozy flavor ready whenever you need it.
