Ingredients for Cinnamon Honey Butter

Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe.

Butter

I prefer to use salted butter for this recipe. If you only have unsalted butter, feel free to add a pinch of fine sea salt.

Honey

Honey is the key ingredient in this recipe, and is what gives this butter its sweetness. If you’re looking for a fun twist, you could try maple syrup instead of honey. I’m sure it would be delicious!

Cinnamon

Cinnamon adds a little something extra to this recipe. I like how the cinnamon adds some warmth

Vanilla

Vanilla makes this cinnamon honey butter almost taste like frosting. It’s so good!

How to Make Cinnamon Honey Butter

Making this cinnamon honey butter is not hard, but it does require a lot of mixing. I recommend using a hand mixer or a stand mixer for this recipe, or you’ll end up with extremely tired arms.

Step 1: Whip the Butter

Whip room-temperature butter for about 3 minutes, until it is light and fluffy. It should become paler in color and end up swirled around your bowl. Scrape down the butter from the sides of the bowl if your stand mixer has trouble reaching it.

Step 2: Add the Honey and Whip Again

Add the honey and whip again until fully combined. It should take about 30 seconds to a minute to fully incorporate.

Step 3: Add the Cinnamon and Vanilla and Whip Again

Add the cinnamon and vanilla and whip again for about a minute. Your butter should be evenly speckled with the cinnamon. You may want to scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure that everything is mixed properly.

By mixing three different times, you’re left with the lightest, fluffiest butter ever!

Step 4: Enjoy!

What to Serve with Cinnamon Honey Butter

I think that this cinnamon honey butter tastes good on everything, but it is especially good on cornbread, biscuits, and rolls! Here are a few of my favorite recipes. Try them and let me know what you think.

Cottage Cheese Biscuits: High Protein, easy to make, and so delicious!
