    What is Honey Butter?

    If you’ve never had it honey butter is a light sweet butter made from a mixture of sweet honey and butter. It has a honey flavor and is wonderful on everything from rolls, muffins, pancakes and more.

    This version includes maple syrup and cinnamon. It has a slight maple taste (not too strong) and a pinch of warm cinnamon. Just enough to give the spreadable butter a warming touch.

    You’ll find this beautiful butter has plenty of uses!

    Recipe Ingredients + Notes

    Unsalted butter. You’ll need a half cup or one stick. Start with room temperature butter. Use real butter and good quality of butter.

    Honey. Use honey in a liquid form. Sometimes raw honey solidifies. If using this type of honey, warm to liquify it first and allow it to cool before starting the recipe.

    Maple syrup. Pure maple syrup is the way to go for best results.

    Cinnamon. Ground cinnamon gives the signature flavor of this whipped honey butter.

    Variations

    Add some vanilla flavor. Add splash of vanilla extract (about 1/4 teaspoon) or scrape the inside of vanilla beans for an extra vanilla flavor. Some vanilla bean paste can also be used.

    Try salted butter. We leave salt out of our recipe but salted butter can also be used if preferred. The added salt can pump up the sweet flavors in the delicious spread.

    How to make Cinnamon Honey Butter – Step-by-Step

    In a medium sized mixing bowl, using a hand electric mixer, or in the bowl of a standing mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the butter for 2 minutes (photos 1-2).

    Stop whipping when any chunks are gone and the butter has a light and fluffy texture.

    Make Cinnamon Honey Butter Pats

    If you’d rather serve the honey butter in pats like a compound butter, do not whip to be super fluffy.

    Add the butter to a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, and roll into a log (see images in this herb butter recipe).

    Allow to become solid in the refrigerator. Slice and serve.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I keep honey butter at room temperature?

    If you live somewhere that isn’t too warm or humid it can be kept at room temperature for 1-2 days. However you may find the honey begins to separate from the butter and will require re-mixing. Storing it in the refrigerator will allow it to keep longer and stay intact.

    Pro Tips

    Do not allow the butter to sit for too long at room temperature. The honey will begin to separate from the butter. If this happens mix the butter with a mixer again to combine.

    If the butter hardens in the refrigerator: use a hand mixer to whip it to a light and fluffy texture again. It will still taste great if you choose not to mix it. Using a mixer he just makes a light and airy texture.

    How to Store Honey Butter

    How to Freeze Honey Butter

    Place in a freezer-safe container, remove as much air as possible and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and whip with a mixer for best texture.
