Cinnamon Butter and Maple Syrup Arepa — The Simplest Gluten-Free Breakfast

Cinnamon butter melting into a warm arepa, finished with a drizzle of real maple syrup. The simplest possible breakfast — two minutes, five ingredients, zero complaints from anyone at the table.

Ingredients

• 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
• 2 tbsp butter, softened
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp real maple syrup

How to Make It

1. Toast arepas until warm and golden.
2. Mix softened butter with cinnamon and a pinch of salt.
3. Spread cinnamon butter over each warm arepa — it will melt into the surface.
4. Drizzle maple syrup over the top.
5. Serve immediately while warm.

Why It Works

Warm bread with cinnamon butter and maple syrup is one of the most universally comforting breakfast experiences. On an arepa, the lightly crisp surface soaks in the butter and the whole thing melts together. Toddlers love it. Adults love it. It takes two minutes.
