What I enjoy most is how versatile it is. Spread it on homemade rolls, morning toast, or even a slice of banana bread straight from the oven. It also pairs beautifully with pumpkin pancakes, sweet potatoes, or alongside a basket of fluffy rolls.

Quick Tips if Mixing by Hand
Not everyone wants to pull out an electric mixer for a small recipe, and the good news is you don’t need to. Here are a few tricks if you’re mixing by hand:
- Make sure your stick of butter is very soft (leave it out for at least an hour).
- Mash the butter with a fork or spatula before adding other ingredients.
- Add the honey and spices slowly, mixing well each time.
- For extra smooth results, give it a final whisk to whip in a little air. It won’t be quite as fluffy butter as with a mixer, but still delicious.
Using Homemade or French Butter
On the homestead, many of us enjoy making homemade butter from fresh cream. This is the perfect recipe to showcase it. The flavor of homemade butter is rich, fresh, and pairs beautifully with local honey. If you’ve churned your own, this honey cinnamon butter recipe will be even more special.
If you prefer, you can also use French-style (cultured) butter. It has a higher butterfat content and a slightly tangy flavor that adds a little extra depth to this spread. It’s a fun way to take this recipe to the next level for special occasions or when you want that touch of indulgence.
Of course, regular unsalted butter from the grocery store works wonderfully too. The key is making sure it’s soft butter at room temperature, so it whips into that light and fluffy butter texture we all love.
Serving Ideas
This spread is incredibly versatile and goes beyond just bread:
- Over copycat Texas Roadhouse rolls or any homemade rolls
- Drizzled on French toast or pumpkin pancakes
- With roasted sweet potatoes for a dessert-like side
- On top of English muffins or fresh-baked banana bread
- Melted over warm dinner rolls for Sunday supper
Storage
- Refrigerator. Keep in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
- Freezer. Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Wrap with plastic wrap to keep the right flavor.
- Before serving. Let it soften to room temperature for that smooth, creamy butter texture.
This homemade cinnamon honey butter is a simple treat that turns normal butter into something truly special. From morning toast to special occasions, it’s the perfect way to bring a little sweetness to everyday life on the homestead.
