Cinnamon Butter Fat Bombs
Are you getting enough grass-fed butter in your diet? Grass-fed butter is a nutritional powerhouse, and unless you have a dairy allergy, I think you should be including it in your diet everyday.(Experienced real foodies know what I’m talking about, but if you’re new to real food you should check out this post on why butter is good for you.)
Not all of my meals lend themselves to being topped with butter, so I’ve developed a few candy-like recipes that make it easy to add some butter to the end of a meal or snack.
One of my favorites is these cinnamon butter fat bombs. I’m not a huge fan of the term “fat bomb,” so you can also call them cinnamon butter bites if you prefer. 🙂
Cinnamon Butter Fat Bombs
Ingredients
- 1 pound salted butter, preferably grass-fed
- 1/4 cup honey (OR, substitute all or part of the honey with your favorite low-calorie sweetener to taste; personally I like 1 tablespoon honey and 20 drops SweetLeaf clear liquid stevia)
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Salt to taste, if using unsalted butter
Instructions
- Allow butter to soften on your counter until it is slightly squishy.
- Add butter, cinnamon, honey/stevia, and vanilla extract to your food processor. Process for a couple of minutes to mix ingredients and achieve slightly whipped taste. Stop food processor as necessary to scrape down the bowl and reincorporate ingredients.
- Spoon butter mixture into silicone molds, Alternatively, you can line a cutting board or other flat surface with parchment paper and then spoon dollops of butter mixture onto the parchment paper. (This is not as pretty but it works just as well, and is actually my preferred method if I'm not taking a photo!)
- Freeze for an hour or two, then remove from parchment paper or molds and store in a container in your freezer. Enjoy!
