This sweet and creamy Maple Butter comes together in minutes! It’s delicious on rolls, biscuits, muffins, pancakes, waffles, sweet potatoes, and more.

Maple butter in a brown bowl drizzled with maple syrup.Exactly how many warm rolls slathered in Maple Butter is it acceptable to eat in one sitting? Two? Six? A Costco-size bag? Asking for a friend.

One bite and you’ll wonder how you ever lived your life without this glorious condiment. It’s creamy, sweet, a little salty, and filled with the comforting flavor of maple syrup. You’ll want to put it on EVERYTHING! If you’d prefer your butter sweetened with honey instead of maple syrup you can try this HONEY BUTTER.

How To Make Maple Butter

You’ll need the following ingredients for this recipe:

  1. Softened butter
  2. Pure maple syrup
  3. Powdered sugar (to thicken it up a bit)
  4. Salt
  5. Maple extract (optional to add a stronger maple flavor)

Instructions: Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat all ingredients until well combined. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

What to Put Maple Butter On:

This Maple Butter is good on just about everything. Some of our favorites are:

  • Bread/toast
  • Rolls, muffins, biscuits
  • English muffins, bagels
  • Banana bread, pumpkin bread
  • Cornbread
  • Pancakes, waffles, french toast
  • Baked sweet potatoes
  • Roasted butternut squash
  • Maple scones

How To Store It?

This butter will last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. If you’re planning on eating it within a couple of days you can leave it out tightly covered in a butter crock, butter dish, or food storage container.

TIP: You’ll want to serve this butter at room temperature. If it’s not already softened, I recommend removing it from the fridge 1-2 hours before you need it to allow it to soften.
