This amazing Cinnamon Butter recipe is like the stuff you get at Texas Roadhouse and with only 4 ingredients, it’s so easy to make at home. You’re going to want to spread it on everything. We especially love this spread on muffins, pancakes, a baked sweet potato, and cornbread!

5 STAR REVIEWS
First served to me years ago when I was over at my friend Sherry’s house, having coffee, talking shop, and ignoring our children, as friends do…she passed me a banana muffin and a jar of this glorious cinnamon butter. It looked like frosting – so clearly I was already sold before even tasting it.
She’s a Texas native and very familiar with Texas Roadhouse, which is a legendary steak house that serves this butter with their dinner rolls. But she made the flavored butter at home, because it was way cheaper than eating out every night to get her fix! I nabbed the recipe from her and have been making it ever since. My kids always make sure we don’t run out.
Helpful Tips
- Salted or Unsalted Butter. Salted or unsalted butter can be used. My recipe is written with salted butter. If you use unsalted, add in 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (not table salt) a little at a time. You might find that 1/4 teaspoon does the job.
- Use softened butter. Before mixing, make sure your butter is softened to room temperature, not cold and hard as a rock, and not melted. Room temperature butter whips up nice and creamy!
- Control the sweetness. Made with powdered sugar and honey, this whipped butter is obviously very sweet. If you prefer it to be less sweet, simply cut back on the powdered sugar or honey.
Cinnamon Butter
Ingredients
- 1 cup regular salted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer until combined and smooth.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and beat again until perfectly light and fluffy.
- Spoon into a large ramekin or (2) 4 ounce glass jars. Use as desired. We love it on muffins, pancakes, a banana, baked sweet potato, and cornbread.

What to serve with Cinnamon Butter
What not to serve it with is the question! HA. Cinnamon honey butter pairs wonderfully with pumpkin pancakes, homemade crepes, on a baked sweet potato, spread on morning glory muffins or cornbread, and with a banana or toast. The list is practically endless!
Proper Storage
This can be stored on the counter if it will be eaten within a couple days, or in the refrigerator in an airtight container, up to 10 days, then allow to come to room temperature before serving. You can also freeze it up to 2 months (thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then set out to reach room temperature.)

What I did is change it up just a little bit:
½ Butter, ½ cream cheese. YUMMMMM! Major hit at our Lodge potluck with homemade garlic-herb bread.
This was dangerously good!! Whipped it up in 5 minutes – left one container on the counter and another in the fridge. I’m going to make it again for holiday gifts.
