Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• Unsalted butter, softened

• Powdered sugar

• Honey

• Ground cinnamon

• Salt (optional, to balance the sweetness)

Directions

1. I place the softened butter in a mixing bowl and beat it until light and fluffy.

2. I add the powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon. If I want a balanced flavor, I add a small pinch of salt.

3. I beat the mixture until everything is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

4. I transfer the butter to a serving dish or airtight container and chill slightly if I want it to firm up.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 1 cup of butter, which is enough for 8–10 servings. It takes just 5 minutes to prepare—no cooking, no fuss.

Variations

• I sometimes add a splash of vanilla extract for a deeper flavor.

• For a maple twist, I swap the honey for pure maple syrup.

• I mix in a dash of nutmeg or clove for extra warmth during the fall.

• For a lighter version, I use whipped butter as the base.

• I’ve used this on baked sweet potatoes, cornbread, and even waffles—it works with more than just rolls.

Storage/Reheating

I store the cinnamon honey butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. I let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving so it softens and spreads easily. I don’t microwave it, as that can separate the ingredients.

FAQs

Can I use salted butter?

Yes, I’ve used salted butter before and simply omit the added pinch of salt. It gives the butter a slight savory note.

Does it need to be refrigerated?

Yes, I refrigerate it for storage but always let it soften before using for the best texture.

Can I freeze it?

Absolutely. I portion it into small containers or roll it into a log and freeze it for up to 2 months. I thaw in the fridge overnight before using.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, I double or even triple it when making it for a crowd. It stores well and makes a great edible gift.

Is this butter spreadable straight from the fridge?

It firms up in the fridge, so I take it out a little ahead of time for that soft, spreadable texture.

Conclusion

This Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Honey Butter is a quick, delicious way to upgrade any bread, roll, or breakfast dish. I love how creamy and flavorful it is, and how easy it is to whip up with pantry staples. It’s one of those little extras that makes a meal feel special—and once I make it, it’s hard to stop putting it on everything.
