    🍽 Key Ingredients

    This recipe only requires 4 ingredients and a handheld mixer to blend everything together. That's it! With such simple ingredients, this recipe is easy and quick to make. Plus, it yields a large batch of butter that will last for ages in the fridge.

    Texas Roadhouse Ingredients 1

    Butter: This recipe works best with salted butter, but you can use unsalted if that's what you have on hand. Just make sure to add a pinch of salt to the recipe if using unsalted butter.

    Powdered sugar: This helps to sweeten the honey butter and give it a lovely smooth texture.

    Honey: This is the key ingredient that gives the butter its characteristic sweetness. Choose good quality honey for the best results.

    Cinnamon: This spice gives the butter its warm flavor and aroma. You can adjust the amount to taste, but we recommend starting with 1 teaspoon.

    Substitutions

    Butter

    If you're looking for a dairy-free option or vegan butter, you can substitute coconut oil for the butter.

    Powdered sugar

    If you don't have any powdered sugar on hand, you can use granulated sugar instead. Just blend it in a food processor or blender until it is a fine powder before adding it to the recipe.

    Honey

    If you're not a fan of honey, you can substitute agave nectar or maple syrup instead. Both will work just as well and taste delicious!

    🔪 How to make

    Homemade cinnamon honey butter is incredibly easy to make and only requires 4 ingredients! Just blend everything together with a handheld mixer, and you're done.

    Prepare the yeast mixture with the warm milk, yeast, and honey

    Preparations

    1. Start by creaming the butter in a medium-sized bowl with a handheld electric mixer.
    2. Add the powdered sugar and honey and mix until smooth.
    3. Add the cinnamon and mix until combined.
    4. Taste the butter and add more cinnamon if desired.

    💭 Cooking tips

    Soften Butter: 

    Your salted or unsalted butter should be softened to room temperature to get a smooth, creamy texture in the final product. If your butter is too hard, it will be difficult to combine butter smoothly with the other ingredients, resulting in grainy butter.

    Softening the butter:

    The best way to soften butter is to let it sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes. If you're in a hurry, you can cut the butter into small cubes and microwave it on low power for 10 seconds. Just be careful not to melt the butter!

    📖 Recipe Variations

    Making flavored butter is very versatile, and you can make many flavors like this cinnamon honey butter and add some other ingredients to change it up. Try adding some of these ideas to the recipe:

    • Vanilla Cinnamon Honey Butter

    Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the recipe for a delicious twist on the classic flavor.

    • Chocolate Honey Butter

    Add ¼ cup of cocoa powder to the recipe for a rich and decadent chocolate flavor.

    • Spicy Honey Butter

    Add ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the recipe for a little bit of heat.

    🥗 What to serve with

    This cinnamon honey butter recipe tastes delicious on lots of delicious recipes, from pancakes to English muffins and baked sweet potatoes. Here are a few easy creations to make in the kitchen to enjoy slathered with cinnamon butter.

    Muffins

    Muffins of any kind need some butter melted over the top, and these muffin recipes are just perfect for this cinnamon honey butter. Cream cheese pumpkin muffins, blueberry pancake muffins, or something a little more savory, like cheese breakfast muffins.

    Pancakes

    Pancakes are delicious with a knob of butter on top. But when you spread some homemade honey butter on top of sour cream pancakes or buttermilk pancakes, it's a whole new level of goodness!

    Bread

    This could be anything from a quick and easy blueberry buttermilk banana bread recipe to a slightly more indulgent peanut butter chocolate chip banana bread or something sweeter with the ultimate cinnamon rolls.

    French toast

    Any type of French toast can be taken to the next level with a dollop of this butter. Try it on these easy Nutella and banana French toast roll-ups and soft brioche French toast.

    Or try it with fried food! The combination of melted cinnamon butter drizzled on top of crispy fried chicken or Southern-fried pork chops is immensely satisfying.

    🙋 Frequently asked questions

    Can I make homemade butter without a stand mixer?

    Yes, you can make this recipe without a stand or hand mixer, but it will be more difficult to get a smooth, creamy texture. If you don't have a mixer, you can cream the butter by hand using a whisk or a fork.

    Does cinnamon butter need to be refrigerated?

    No, you can store it at room temperature in a sealed jar for 2 to 3 days, but it's better to refrigerate.

    🧊 Storing

    Homemade cinnamon honey butter is the perfect spread that will give you weeks of deliciousness!

    Fridge - Store the butter in a jar with a sealed lid or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month. The butter may get hard when chilled, so you may need to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before using the delicious spread.

    Freezer - You can also store the butter in the freezer for up to 6 months. The best way to freeze cinnamon honey butter is to pipe the freshly made butter into many small swirls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, freeze them for 30 minutes to 1 hour until hardened, then transfer them to a container.
