Description

This easy and delicious Cinnamon Butter recipe combines softened unsalted butter with powdered sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to create a sweet, creamy spread perfect for toast, pancakes, muffins, or waffles. Its smooth texture and warm cinnamon flavor make it a delightful addition to your breakfast or snack time.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional, if using unsalted butter)


Instructions

  1. Soften the Butter: Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature to ensure easy and smooth mixing with the other ingredients.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer, beat all the ingredients together until the mixture is well combined and fluffy, which usually takes a few minutes.
  4. Scrape and Stir: Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and give the cinnamon butter a quick stir to incorporate any ingredients stuck on the bowl.
  5. Store or Serve: Transfer the cinnamon butter to a serving bowl or ramekin to serve immediately as a spread. Leftover butter can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  6. Re-Soften Before Use: When ready to use refrigerated cinnamon butter again, allow it to soften at room temperature to regain spreadable consistency.

Notes

  • To store, place the cinnamon butter in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
  • Always soften refrigerated cinnamon butter to room temperature before spreading to ensure smooth texture.
  • This cinnamon butter makes a perfect topping for toast, pancakes, waffles, muffins, or biscuits.
  • Adjust the honey or powdered sugar amount to taste for sweeter or less sweet spread.
