Cinnamon Honey Butter
Are you looking for an easy recipe that will wow your family and friends? I mean, who isn’t looking for that kind of miracle recipe?! Well, guess what, friends? We have the BEST recipe for you today. This Honey Butter Recipe is nothing short of amazing!
The first time I made this honey butter, I was in charge of rolls for Thanksgiving dinner. My brother-in-law, who was hosting dinner, is a pretty great cook, so I felt a little pressure to bring something amazing.
I wanted to step up my roll game a notch. I did not want to show up with only butter for the rolls, so the addition of honey was the perfect solution.
You guys, it was a huge hit! Even my picky, almost professional chef, brother-in-law, was impressed with my homemade honey butter and kept going back for more. As a result, it has been my unofficial, official assignment every year since!
The cinnamon and honey mixed in with the butter almost make it taste like dessert on a roll. It is super easy to make and can be whipped together in 5 minutes. If you show up anywhere with this homemade honey butter, it will be the talk of the dinner party!
What is honey butter made of?
It has four simple ingredients you probably already have at home. The ingredients are butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon.
Do you have to refrigerate honey butter?
You can keep butter on the counter if you will be using it within a couple of days. Otherwise, you can store it in the fridge to have it stay fresh longer.

Isn’t it great when a recipe you make becomes popular in the family? Cinnamon Honey Butter looks so creamy and it definitely is a lovely idea to take flavored butter rather than plain one. You’ve tempted me totally with the cinnamon honey butter and French Toast combination.

You will absolutely love it! Excited for you to try it.
