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.

This Cinnamon Honey Butter recipe is the perfect accessory to almost any food. Plus, it's even better than the Texas Roadhouse butter! (yep...even better)!
This honey butter makes any food extra special. Slather some on fresh baked cornbread (and eat it with this chili). Take your usual breakfast fare up 100 notches by spreading some of this 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?

How do you make Cinnamon Honey Butter?
This honey butter recipe is super simple to make. But I'll walk through the process step-by-step to ensure your success. You can also watch the video to see exactly how it's made.
Gather Ingredients
The only thing to note about the ingredients is that the butter needs to be softened to room temperature. If it's not at room temperature the honey butter won't mix well.

What is Cinnamon Honey Butter made of? Ingredients and Substitutions
Let's discuss the ingredients used in this honey butter recipe, as well as possible substitutions.
- Salted Butter. Unsalted butter works perfectly well in this recipe, but if you use it I recommend increasing the amount of salt to your taste. Please keep in mind that the quality of butter that you use really matters and will effect the taste of this honey butter recipe. You can also use vegan butter (like Earth's Balance) to make this dairy-free and vegan.
- Powdered Sugar. There's really no substitute here. The powdered sugar gives the recipe volume and helps it hold together. If you want to make your own refined-sugar free powdered sugar to use in this recipe, I recommend checking out my 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) very well.
- Vanilla Extract. Vanilla beans or vanilla bean paste both taste amazing in this recipe. If using extract, make sure it is pure vanilla extract and not imitation for the best results.
- Cinnamon. The quality of the cinnamon you use will effect the taste of this honey butter. Choose high-quality fresh spices.
- Sea Salt. Please note that I use sea salt in all my baking, if you're using table salt you will need to use less.
Paleo Honey Butter:
To make this recipe paleo use grass-fed butter and make your own paleo powdered sugar.
Measure ingredients
Measure and ingredients and place them in the bowl of a standing mixer or a large mixing bowl.

Beat until Smooth
Next, mix the honey butter with a hand mixer or in a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until the mixture is smooth and uniform throughout.
I prefer to use my standing mixer because there is less splattering. However, I used a hand mixer to make this batch of Texas Roadhouse butter and film the video, and it worked great. I don't recommend mixing this by hand.

Serve
Transfer the cinnamon honey butter to a cute little dish and serve it at room temperature.

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!
Nicole Roberts
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
Stacey
Wow! So good! This should be sold in stores! I used large granule sea salt because it was all I had. Fine grains would have been better
