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 Cinnamon 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.

- 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.

My family has loved this recipe for years.
I am going to use this for my FACS classroom! Is the video available on youtube? I want to share the video with students.
I uploaded the video to youtube here: Cinnamon Honey Butter Youtube
I whipped it extra and added some unflavored gelatin and heavy cream to turn this into a frosting for my daughters 2nd birthday smash cake. She LOVED it just like she loves TRH butter. Thank you!!!!!
Great recipe!! Thank you so much for sharing!!! My husband loves this honey butter, and has been requesting that it become a staple in our home. I just have to ration how much he gets because he could eat this by the heapings! I did add a bit more honey than the recipe calls for because he said it tasted more like cinnamon butter, which isn’t a bad thing, but he does enjoy the taste of honey.
I added a pinch of clove and a pinch of cayenne and a tiny bit of almond extract I’d suggest trying these augmentation it make it so much better
I recommend adding brown sugar as well for sweet potatoes or apples
I think I am going to get some decorative jars and make some for Christmas gifts this year.
Sounds like a great idea!
Made this for Easter dinner to go on my sweet potatoes! The best cinnamon butter I ever had ! Thank you ! Also if you’re trying to watch your cholesterol can you substitute margarine for the butter in this recipe? Thanks
I’m so glad you love it Karen. I actually do not recommend margarine – although I’m sure it would work I’m just not sure it would taste great.
Very Tasty. Going on baked sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving.
I love that idea Mary!
