This Cinnamon Honey Butter Recipe is made with 5 ingredients in less than 5 minutes, and it’s even better than Texas Roadhouse butter! It tastes delicious on rolls, pancakes, waffles, muffins, banana bread, toast, etc.
Once you make this cinnamon honey butter you will want to slather it on everything.
It’s incredibly easy to make with 5 ingredients in 5 minutes, it tastes even better than the Texas Roadhouse butter, and you can make it in the comfort of your own home.
This honey butter makes any meal special. Slather some on fresh baked cornbread (and eat it with this chili). Take your breakfast to the next level by spreading it on top. Pancakes, waffles, French toast, banana bread. The possibilities are truly endless.
My kids adore this Texas Roadhouse butter and ask for cornbread just so they can eat it. They take a bite, strategically placing their mouths so that they consume all of the honey butter in one shot. Then they exclaim “I need more butter mom, it’s all gone!” Can’t argue with that right?
Cinnamon Honey Butter: Ingredients & Substitutions
The only thing to note about the ingredients is that the butter needs to be softened to room temperature.
- Salted Butter. Unsalted butter works well, so does vegan butter.
- Powdered Sugar. you can substitute homemade refined-sugar free powdered sugar click here for the recipe: paleo powdered sugar recipe.
- Honey. Maple syrup can be used in place of honey for another delicious option. I love both of them equally. Obviously maple syrup will impart a slight maple taste, which compliments fall foods (like this apple cinnamon baked oatmeal or these pumpkin muffins).
- Vanilla Extract. the seeds of one vanilla bean or vanilla bean paste are both good substitutes.
How to Make Honey Butter
This honey butter recipe is very simple. As always, we’ll walk through the process step-by-step to ensure your success. You can also watch the video for additional help.
Begin by putting all the ingredients in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or use a large bowl and a hand mixer.
Then, beat the honey butter on high speed until it is smooth. You may need to pause, scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, then resume beating.
Serve
Transfer the cinnamon honey butter to a cute dish and serve it at room temperature. Here are some of my favorite foods that I love to slather this Texas Roadhouse butter on.
- You can’t go wrong with any of our breakfast recipes, but scones, homemade pancakes and waffles are all great choices.
- The same is true for our pumpkin recipes. Slather honey butter on pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin waffles, pumpkin muffins, etc.
- Use it on the best cornbread or cornbread muffins.
- Slather it on any homemade bread including pretzel bread and homemade dinner rolls.
How to Store Honey Butter
Store honey butter in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-3 days. Or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Freeze
This honey butter can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 4 months. Thaw gradually (not in the microwave) by setting it out in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature.
Honey Butter FAQs
If you think it will take you longer than 3 days to eat this cinnamon butter, then yes you should store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
If you store it in the refrigerator be sure to remove it and let it come to room temperature before serving. Do not heat it in the microwave! It will become a soupy mess and the ingredients will separate.

Noticed that there’s 6 ingredients, not 5. 😉
Thank you! 😉
I’ve never had The Texas Roadhouse cinnamon butter, but years ago, many many years ago, there was a brand name Honey Bee cinnamon butter and this reminded me exactly of how it tasted. The company ceased to make it years ago, so I’m told and can’t find it anywhere, and I am thrilled that I can now return to my youth if even for a time or two a day and enjoy one of my most favorite things. Thanks so much! I’m going to make this for my siblings who also enjoyed it in our youth, and give it as a gift from Santa…..they’ll love it and I’m going to introduce it to my grown daughter to show her what her generation missed out on….haha.
I’m so glad you love this recipe and that you can share some of your childhood with your daughter! <3
Warning! This stuff is addicting! Just made a double batch and put it in the fridge. Tasted a little bit from the cleanup, and want to get it out of the fridge and eat it by itself! Thank you so much for the recipe, it’s a keeper.
I’m so glad you love the recipe, Kaye!
This tastes even better than Texas Roadhouse butter! A little more sweeter which is fine with me, would be awesome on cinnamon rolls too!
Hi Laura, I am a huge fan of cinnamon. I tried this recipe of yours. It really came out well. I loved the combination especially. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe with all of us. Hope you will share some of your awesome recipes soon. Much love n Regards.
We made your honey butter this weekend, it was perfect on top of cornbread. So so good, it is a keeper!
Hi Laura,
I love the combination of flavors and colors. Healthy, filling, and delicious. Definitely going to try this weekend. What is the substitute of vanilla extract?
Thanks for sharing such a nice and simple recipe.
Hehe… I would totally be like your kids with the honey butter too. I would put so many dollops on my bread.
This just sounds INCREDIBLE! I recently had cinnamon butter at a restaurant, and I’ve been dying to make it myself! This sounds like it would be the perfect solution!! Cannot wait!
It is! Like you, I first had it in a restaurant. Been looking ever since. Found this and made it on 3.27.2020. It will remain as my go to recipe for all subsequent batches that I make! – Cecelia
Thank you!! We just went to Texas Roadhouse last week and my hubby told me we should find a recipe for that butter!! Will be trying it out this week:)
You will LOVE it Mira!!! Homemade is even better too!
