Honey Cinnamon Butter

If there is one thing that instantly makes any baked good feel more special, it’s this Honey Cinnamon Butter. It’s soft, fluffy, perfectly sweet and just warm enough with that hint of cinnamon. It melts right into fresh bread, spreads like a dream on warm rolls, and somehow makes even the simplest things taste so good. The best part is it comes together in just a few minutes with simple ingredients you probably already have, and you can keep it on hand anytime you want that cozy homemade touch.

Tools You’ll Need:

1. Mixing bowl- for mixing the honey cinnamon butter.
2. Hand beaters- for whipping the butter.
3. Measuring cups and spoons- to measure your ingredients.
4. Digital scale (optional)- recommended for accurate measurements and ease. I love this scale linked here.
5. Jar or airtight container- for storing the honey cinnamon butter. I love these small jars for gifting linked here.

Gather Your Ingredients:

1. Unsalted Butter- this makes the base of the whipped butter. You can also use salted butter, just reduce the salt by half if you do. I prefer to control the salt amount so I use unsalted.
2. Sea Salt- balances the sweetness of the sugar and honey.
3. Honey- Gives the butter that lovely flavor and staple taste.
4. Vanilla Extract- adds a touch of warmth.
5. Ground Cinnamon- a pinch of cinnamon lightly spices the butter as the perfect balance to the honey.
6. Powdered Sugar (optional)- I like to add a touch of powdered sugar to my honey cinnamon butter to add a touch more sweetness and to help it set up. This is optional and you can skip it! Don’t use granulated sugar or the butter will be gritty.

How to serve honey cinnamon Butter

You really can’t go wrong here! This honey cinnamon butter melts into anything warm and makes it instantly better, but these are a few of my favorite pairings:

1. Sourdough Oatmeal Molasses Dinner Rolls
2. Sourdough Cheesecake Factory Brown Bread
3. Sourdough Texas Roadhouse Rolls!
4. Sourdough Brown Butter Banana Bread (with chocolate chips!).

How to Store:

Room Temperature- Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Refrigeration- Store your honey cinnamon butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes so it softens and becomes spreadable again. If needed you can re-whip it for that light and fluffy texture.
