Ingredients
- •1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- •1/4 cup powdered sugar
- •1/4 cup honey
- •1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- •1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- 1
Place the softened butter in a medium mixing bowl. If your butter is not soft, microwave in 5-second bursts until just spreadable.
- 2
Add the powdered sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, and sea salt (if using) to the bowl with the butter.
- 3
Using a hand mixer (or a sturdy spatula), beat the ingredients together on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is light, fluffy, and fully combined.
- 4
Pause to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- 5
Taste and adjust: Add more cinnamon or honey to suit your preference. Mix again if you add anything.
- 6
Transfer the cinnamon honey butter to a serving dish or airtight container.
- 7
Chill for 10-15 minutes to help the flavors meld, or serve immediately at room temperature for the softest spread.
- 8
Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator. Allow to soften at room temperature before serving.
Tips & Variations
Pro Tips
- • Use high-quality, real butter for the best flavor—avoid margarine or butter blends.
- • Let the butter soften fully at room temperature; cold butter will not whip up as light and airy.
- • Powdered sugar dissolves quickly and keeps the butter smooth, but you can sift it for extra fluffiness.
- • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the cinnamon by 1/4 teaspoon at a time and taste as you go.
- • If the butter is too soft after mixing, chill it for 10-15 minutes before serving to firm it up slightly.
Storage
- • Refrigerator: Up to 1-2 weeks in airtight container
- • Freezer: Up to 3 months (thaw overnight in fridge)
- • Best Practice: Store in glass jars for longer freshness
Recipe Variations
- • Maple-Cinnamon Butter: Substitute maple syrup for honey for a richer, deeper sweetness.
- • Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter: Replace powdered sugar with light brown sugar for a caramel-like flavor and subtle crunch.
- • Vegan Cinnamon Honey Butter: Use a vegan butter substitute and swap honey for agave syrup or maple syrup.
