Cinnamon butter makes everything better! If you have been to Texas Roadhouse, you are probably familiar with their famous butter that they serve with warm, soft rolls. This butter recipe is a great copycat, you’re going to want to put it on everything.
Why this recipe works
- Requires just a few common ingredients you might already have at home.
- Can be made at a fraction of the cost of pre-packaged cinnamon butter or at the restaurant.
- Is so good slathered on just about anything.
Ingredients needed for copycat Texas Roadhouse cinnamon butter
Butter – Use high quality, unsalted sweet cream butter. I prefer using unsalted because you can control the sodium. You can substitute with salted if you prefer.
Cinnamon – Ground cinnamon adds lots of flavor to this spread. Try using fresh, high quality ground cinnamon for the best taste.
Powdered Sugar – Adds a touch of sweetness to the butter. If you want to cut back on calories, feel free to reduce the amount or omit.
Honey – Another layer of sweetness.
Vanilla Extract – Offers a warm, rich flavor to the butter.
Salt – Helps to balance the sweetness.

- Ingredients: Place softened butter, honey, powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt in a large bowl.
- Mix: Use an electric mixer to whip the butter and combine ingredients.
- Serve: Serve immediately or store in airtight container.
Recipe tips
- Make sure to allow enough time for the butter to soften.
- This recipe makes a cup of butter. Feel free to cut the recipe in half if you don’t want that much. It does keep well and for about a month in the refrigerator so I like to make a larger serving at one time.
- The longer the mixture sits together, the more the flavors will develop.
How to store cinnamon honey butter
Store: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month. *** This butter can be left out at room temperature for about a day. So if you are serving it at a party or the holidays, it’s ok to be out on the table, just be sure to put it back in the refrigerator once you are finished.
Freeze: I would recommend not freezing.

I was wondering if I could use my Ninja blender to do this butter instead of an electric mixer.
