Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how simple and quick it is to make this cinnamon honey butter with just a few pantry staples. It’s rich, fluffy, and has just the right balance of sweetness and spice. I often make it in advance and store it for whenever I want to elevate a basic biscuit, toast, or muffin. The texture is dreamy and it spreads like a charm.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup (16 tablespoons) salted sweet cream butter, softened
¾ cup powdered sugar
½ cup honey
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

I start by adding the softened butter to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Then, I use a handheld mixer on medium-high speed to beat the butter for about 1 to 1½ minutes until it’s smooth.
Next, I add the powdered sugar, honey, and ground cinnamon. I continue mixing for another 1½ to 2 minutes until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture turns fluffy and creamy.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 2 generous servings, but I usually find it’s more than enough to serve 6 to 8 people when paired with bread or breakfast items.

Variations

Unsalted butter: I sometimes use unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt myself to control the saltiness.
Maple twist: Replacing honey with maple syrup gives it a deep, autumnal flavor I really enjoy.
Spiced version: A dash of nutmeg or pumpkin spice gives this butter a festive upgrade.
Vegan version: I’ve made this with plant-based butter and agave nectar, and it still turns out creamy and delicious.

Storage/reheating

I store the butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Before serving, I let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften. If it’s too firm, I fluff it up gently with a fork. This butter also freezes beautifully—when I double the batch, I freeze half in a sealed container for up to 3 months. I just thaw it in the fridge overnight before using.

FAQs

What should I serve cinnamon honey butter with?

I usually serve it with warm dinner rolls, pancakes, waffles, toast, cornbread, or even sweet potatoes. It works with anything that needs a little sweet, creamy boost.

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

Yes, but I find that real butter gives the best flavor and texture. Margarine may make it a bit too soft or greasy.

Is this butter too sweet?

It is sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. I think it balances beautifully with savory breads. If I want it less sweet, I reduce the powdered sugar a bit.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely. I often make it a few days in advance and just keep it chilled. It actually gets even better as the flavors meld together.

Does this need to be refrigerated?

Yes, I keep it refrigerated to maintain freshness. But before using, I always let it sit out to come to room temperature so it spreads easily.

Conclusion

This Texas Roadhouse-inspired cinnamon honey butter has become a staple in my kitchen. It’s quick to make, wonderfully flavorful, and incredibly versatile. Whether I’m serving it with breakfast or as a dinner side, it always gets rave reviews.
