Cinnamon butter captures the same sweet, buttery flavor you love from Texas Roadhouse. This honey-cinnamon spread is ideal for warm rolls, muffins, and quick breads.
Cinnamon Butter
One of the simple pleasures at restaurants like Texas Roadhouse or Outback is a basket of warm dinner rolls served with sweet butter. The honey cinnamon butter at Texas Roadhouse is especially beloved—rich, sweet, and lightly spiced with cinnamon. It elevates soft, warm rolls into a memorable appetizer.
We wanted to recreate that flavor at home and found a simple formula that delivers the same sweet, spreadable goodness. The recipe uses only four common ingredients, so chances are you can make it right away without an extra trip to the store.
This honey-cinnamon butter is a great thing to keep on the table for family dinners or special occasions. The sweetness of the honey balanced with just a hint of cinnamon pairs beautifully with fluffy rolls and makes a comforting starter for a steak dinner or holiday meal.
-
Pair it with warm, soft rolls for the full experience—freshly baked rolls and this sweet butter are a match made in heaven.
-
The butter also complements quick dinner rolls or any easy roll recipe—fluffy, buttery bread becomes even better with this spread.
-
For a more indulgent treat, try it on fruit muffins like apple or pear to add a delicious layer of sweetness and cinnamon warmth.
Ingredients for Cinnamon Spread
-
Butter — softened to room temperature (you may substitute margarine if you prefer)
-
Confectioner’s (powdered) sugar
-
Honey — use real honey for the best flavor
-
Cinnamon — or try apple pie spice for a different warm flavor profile
How to mix Honey Cinnamon Butter
Making honey cinnamon butter is very straightforward. Start by gathering all ingredients in a medium bowl. Softened butter at room temperature makes blending easier and yields a smooth, spreadable texture.
Mix the butter, powdered sugar, honey, and cinnamon until fully combined and smooth. A hand mixer or stand mixer speeds this up and produces a consistent texture.
For an extra-light texture, begin mixing on low speed to incorporate the ingredients, then increase to high and whip for a few minutes. This creates a fluffier, creamier spread that melts beautifully on hot rolls.
How to store Honey Butter
Store the finished spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Properly refrigerated, it will stay good for about a month, though the flavors are best when used sooner. For longer storage, freeze the butter in a sealed container for up to three to four months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
