A recipe for Cinnamon Honey Butter. The secret ingredient is vanilla. (I can’t believe I gave that secret up right up front. I should’ve at least made you click or scroll for it. I’m so bad at internetting.)
Cinnamon Honey Butter
1
cupIngredients
2 sticks butter, room temperature
1/3 cup + 2 Tbs honey, plus more to taste
1 tsp ground cinnamon, plus more to taste
½ tsp vanilla
Pinch salt
Directions
- Beat butter on medium speed until smooth, 20-30 seconds. Beat in half the honey and half the cinnamon until the color of the butter is homogenous. Scrape down the inside of the bowl. Beat in remaining honey in a similar fashion. Add remaining cinnamon, to taste, beating thoroughly. The cinnamon and sweetness should be moderately subtle, somewhat pastel. Beat in vanilla. Taste again. Adjust cinnamon and honey if needed. Beat the honey butter breifly by hand, to ensure that it’s completely blended.
- Serve at room temperature. Refrigerate for long-term storage.
Spread it on bread, pancakes, or waffles. You can use it to make caramelized sweet potatoes or you can serve it next to chicken that you’ve seasoned with rosemary and thyme.
Social Learning
The vanilla is the secret ingredient. It takes the butter from something kind of ordinary to something kind of special.
The flavors here are clear, but they don’t jump out at you. If you’re looking for something more intense, you could add more honey and/or cinnamon. Or, you could start the recipe out with only one stick of butter, follow the directions after that as-is, and then in the final tasting stage, add more butter if what you have is too intense.

coucou jeff
de quoi ce régaler avec ton superbe beurre de miel que je ne connais pas!
bonne semaine
bises
Well, I have had honey butter, cinnamon butter, and vanilla (lime) butter — but never have I had them all together! This is a real winner, Jeff. We will be schmearing this on our toast this weekend.
Looks delicious.
Grazie carissimo, questo lo copio subito!!
I was wondering why mine never tasted quite right. Now I know. Thanks!
I’m not a huge honey fan, I know weird. Maple syrup maybe?
It’s not that weird, I don’ think. I think the flavors might go with maple syrup, but I have no idea what the texture would be like.
Beautiful! I’ve had butter infused with honey and cinnamon, but I never would have thought of vanilla. That’s genius!
J’imagine bien un petit morceau de ce beurre fondre lentement sur une crèpe chaude.
Bizzz.
Oh yes, I think this’d be perfect for that!
I would love to have this on hand for English muffins, toast, pancakes and so on. I bet the vanilla adds a little floral sweetness enhances the flavor. What type of honey did you use?
I used wild honey. There’s a market near me that gets it in bulk from a local beekeeper. If I didn’t have access to that, I’d use clover honey. Although I’d definitely experiment with any honey I liked!
Cinnamon Honey Butter, such a simple yet decadent spread! I love how this recipe turns a basic butter into something elevated and full of cozy flavors. I can already picture this melting over warm pancakes, slathered on toast, or even paired with roasted sweet potatoes. mmmmmmmmmmmm
Thanks!
Bring it on! What a delicious treat!
Thanks, Judee!
Una deliciosa crema de mantequilla, sencilla de hacer y resultona. No la conocía, me apetece probarla. Un saludo
Thank you!
mmmmmm…. che delizia!!! Da provare subito 🙂 Grazie!
I’d slather this all over some warm rolls. Such a yummy way to dress up plain butter!
