Description

This Cinnamon Butter Recipe is a deliciously sweet and spiced spread perfect for enhancing your breakfast breads, pancakes, or muffins. Made with softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, this cinnamon butter is creamy, fluffy, and easy to prepare in just a few minutes. It brings the comforting flavors of cinnamon and honey together, creating a versatile spread that can be stored for up to a week in the refrigerator.


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 Butter: Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and to achieve a smooth, spreadable texture.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter. This will ensure all the flavors blend well together.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer, beat the ingredients together on medium speed until the mixture is well combined and fluffy. This aerates the butter and incorporates the flavors evenly.
  4. Scrape and Stir: Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing, then give the butter a quick final stir to incorporate any remaining bits.
  5. Store or Serve: Transfer the cinnamon butter to a serving bowl or ramekin. You can serve it immediately as a flavorful spread or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Remember to soften at room temperature before serving again for easy spreading.

Notes

  • To Store: Place the butter in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
  • Softening Before Use: Let the refrigerated cinnamon butter soften at room temperature before serving to make spreading easier.
  • Variations: Feel free to adjust the cinnamon or honey amount for your desired sweetness and spice level.
  • Usage Suggestions: Ideal as a spread on toast, muffins, pancakes, waffles, or even as a topping for warm oatmeal.
