Sweet Cinnamon Butter

by

This post will be short and sweet, but I just quickly wanted to share my recipe with you for sweet cinnamon butter.

I made this butter for Thanksgiving, and my family LOVED it!!  It was delicious on both the rolls and on the sweet potatoes.  It’s a really simple recipe, and the results are well worth the less than 5 minutes that it takes to throw it together.

Find the recipe below:

  • 2 sticks of butter
  • 1/2 cup + 1 and 1/2 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Mix all ingredients together until well combined, and enjoy on breads, waffles, pancakes, sweet potatoes and more!
