  • •1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • •1/4 cup honey
  • •1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • •1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • •Pinch of salt (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  9. 9

    Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 weeks.

Tips & Variations

Pro Tips

  • • Use high-quality, unsalted butter for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • • Make sure the butter is truly room temperature—cold butter won't mix smoothly.
  • • For a fluffier butter, whip the mixture an extra minute or two.
  • • If you like a stronger cinnamon flavor, add up to 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon.
  • • Serve at room temperature for easy spreading, but store in the fridge for freshness.

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

  • • Brown Butter Cinnamon Honey Butter: Brown the butter first, chill until solid, then use as directed for a deeper, nutty flavor.
  • • Maple Cinnamon Butter: Substitute pure maple syrup for honey for a maple twist.
  • • Vegan Cinnamon Honey Butter: Use vegan butter and substitute agave syrup or maple syrup for honey.
