A sweet, cinnamon-spiced butter spread that’s perfect for toast and adds a delightful flavor boost to breakfast or snacks. Simple to make and irresistibly tasty.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Scoop out about 1/4 of the margarine and put it in the refrigerator.
- Add brown sugar and cinnamon to the remaining margarine.
- Beat until the mixture is brown and whippy.
- Spread on toast and enjoy.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of regular margarine. You can also substitute coconut sugar for brown sugar for a different sweetness profile. If you prefer a vegan version, use plant-based margarine and ensure the cinnamon is organic. Adjust the cinnamon amount based on your taste; more can give it a spicier kick, which could pair beautifully with Sweet And Easy recipes.
Serving Suggestions
This spread is perfect on warm toast, but you can also try it on pancakes or waffles for a delightful breakfast. It complements fresh fruit, such as sliced bananas or berries, as a topping. For a fun twist, use it in a dessert sandwich with your favorite jams or even pair it with Addie'S Chicken Salad for a savory contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If it hardens, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before spreading. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change upon thawing, making it less appealing when used later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this spread ahead of time?
Yes, this spread can be made a day or two in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator as mentioned, and it will be ready to use when you need it. The flavors will meld together beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
What can I substitute if I don't have margarine?
