Maple Butter Ingredients
So what is maple butter made from?
Well, you’ll just need these 3 simple ingredients…
- Salted Butter – the higher quality the butter, the more incredible it will taste!
- Pure Maple Syrup – yes, you’re going to need the real thing here
- Vanilla Extract – make sure to use Pure Vanilla Extract, not ‘Imitation’
You’ll also need a food processor to get the job done.
Can I Cream Butter in a Food Processor?
Yes… you sure can!
The food processor is the perfect tool to create a flavored butter, and will blend the maple syrup into the butter much better than your hand mixer.

Here’s what you’ll do…
1. Soften your butter to room temperature. See How to Soften Butter Fast!

Now this is my kind of recipe, Heidi! I do love maple everything, and this maple butter would be perfect on top of a warm slice of banana bread. Yum! Question. Have you ever tried making maple cream? That was a favorite back when we lived in maple country, but I haven’t seen it since we moved to Asheville. I’d love to find a way to make that at home! If I recall, I believe you just whip the heck out of maple syrup…
Thank you so much, David! I actually just got back from a 10 day vacation in Asheville. 🙂 Now I haven’t tried making maple cream yet, but I definitely need to. It looks divine! And you’re right… it is just whipping up pure maple syrup. If you get a chance to try it, let me know how it goes!
