After making the goat butter switch in some of my favorite desserts, here are my top five reasons why you should give it a try.

I love honey butter so much that I’ve been known to choose restaurants just because it’s on the menu. But, when my friend asked me if I’d ever had maple butter, I had to say no. How was it possible that I’d never had it? Maple is just as good as – if not better than – honey!

I soon learned that there are two different products called maple butter. One is made by cooking down maple syrup until it turns into something with the texture of butter. This, of course, is completely delicious. However, the version I’m sharing here is also amazingly good and SO much easier to make. You don’t need to cook anything on the stove, and it’s ready to eat in three minutes.

I’m not vegan, but I often bake vegan recipes (see the Related Recipes section for a few of my favorites). I had never imagined that it was possible to make homemade vegan butter that would look, feel, and taste like butter, yet this recipe does just that.

I feel comfortable using it in any recipe as a butter replacement. I made a vegan buttercream to test it out, and it works perfectly.
