This creamy sweet potato butter is infused with warm spices and pairs perfectly with fresh baked bread. Five simple ingredients come together to create a naturally sweet plant-based topper for toast or bread—plus, it stores well for several weeks! For an extra serving of sweet potato goodness, try pairing it with our Sweet Potato Bread or Single-Rise Sweet Potato Rolls.
