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.

Do you use just any honey or a raw honey
Any honey works well!
I’m planning to make a double batch of this today as we are having baked sweet potatoes as part of dinner. However, you say it can be made vegan by using vegan butter, but that’s not accurate, honey is an animal product so perhaps a swap of agave nectar will do the job?
True, but some people who eat vegan are OK with eating honey. You can swap maple syrup or agave absolutely.
My family uses Roadhouse cinnamon honey butter for their baked sweet potatoes. They love it
Absolutely delicious!
I goofed and melted butter, I put it in freezer for 10 minutes and then mixed it. Still with a goof up it was amazing 🥰
I’ve tried multiple Cinnamon Honey Butter Recipes and I will say this is definitely the best one! At least in my opinion.
Thank you, Kylie!
lovely recipe but I am not sure how to combat how the honey makes it feel a bit too waxy? would maple be work better?
Additionally, I am curious if these are your photos since I have seen them being used elsewhere for the purposes of selling a product.
These are my photos, I took them. If you’d like to e-mail me at joyfoodsunshine@gmail.com I can check into the photo usage.
This is the best copycat recipe for Texas Roadhouse better! The only thing I did different was add an extra tablespoon of honey.
Thank you Shirley!
Heaven. Sent. 🤤🤤🤤🤤 I love this so much. I spread it over a cinnamon raisin bagel after I first made it two days ago…now there’s half a bagel left 😬 my cinnamon shaker did spaz a little and added a splash extra, but not so much that it’s overwhelming. Thank you SO much!
Had everything to make this except powdered sugar, then learned how to make powdered sugar in 2 minutes lol. Than you for this easy recipe, I am smothering this butter on every type of bread. Carbs and cinnamon butter. There goes my waists line!
I’m so glad you love it as much as we do!
I tweeted this recipe abs it was delicious! Since I flyby this recipe, I don’t have to visit Texas Road House as often! I love this honey butter!
Sorry for the misspelled weird in first review, pretext is something serious! I tried this recipe and it is delicious! Since I found this recipe, I don’t have to visit Texas Roadhouse as often.
This is pretty much the perfect clone of roadhouse butter. This does freeze well.
This was so close to the restaurant’s! It is amazing! I can’t wait to serve this tomorrow at my Thanksgiving gathering. I’m serving it with Hawaiian rolls but I know it would be delicious with any bread. I had my son and husband taste test it as well and they loved it as well. My son just asked me if I can make it for every dinner from now on. Great recipe! Thanks!
This was wonderful! I don’t normally like this kind of thing because it’s too sweet, but I put in only half of the sugar and it was perfect. I’ll be making this again
