Description
If you love spreading something sweet, creamy, and absolutely irresistible on warm toast, pancakes, or biscuits, then this Cinnamon Honey Butter is for you! With just a few ingredients, you can whip up a smooth and flavorful butter that adds a cozy touch to any breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter (1 cup, softened) – The creamy base of this spread.
- Honey (¼ cup) – Adds natural sweetness and a smooth texture.
- Powdered Sugar (¼ cup) – Helps create a silky, spreadable consistency.
- Ground Cinnamon (1½ tsp) – The star spice that brings warmth and depth.
- Vanilla Extract (1 tsp) – Enhances all the flavors beautifully.
- Salt (⅛ tsp, optional) – A tiny pinch to balance the sweetness.
Instructions
Step 1: Whip the Butter
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy (about 1 minute).
Step 2: Add the Flavorings
- Add honey, powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt (if using).
- Beat again on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
Step 3: Check the Texture
- The butter should be fluffy and well combined. If needed, mix for another 30 seconds to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Step 4: Store & Serve
- Transfer the cinnamon honey butter to an airtight container or jar.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or at room temperature for up to 2 days if serving soon.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter – This makes it easier to whip into a fluffy texture.
- Adjust sweetness – Add more honey or powdered sugar to taste.
- For extra smoothness – Sift the powdered sugar before adding it.
- Make it dairy-free – Use a dairy-free butter alternative like coconut oil or plant-based butter.
