If you’ve ever been to Texas Roadhouse, you know the real star of the show isn’t just the steaks or rolls—it’s the Cinnamon Honey Butter. This sweet, creamy spread turns any bread into a little bite of heaven, and now you can make it at home in just minutes.

What makes this butter so addictive? It’s the perfect balance of salty, sweet, and spiced warmth. Whipped to fluffy perfection, it melts instantly on warm rolls, pancakes, waffles, or even toast. Whether you’re hosting brunch or just want to treat yourself, this homemade version is spot on.

What Kind of Butter Should I Use?

For the best flavor and texture, go with unsalted, room-temperature butter. This allows you to control the salt level, especially since you’ll be adding a pinch later on. Avoid margarine or spreads—they just won’t whip up the same way or offer the rich creaminess we want.

Ingredients for the Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Honey Butter

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt

How To Make the Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Honey Butter

Step 1: Soften the Butter

Make sure your butter is fully softened to room temperature. This ensures a light and fluffy texture when whipped.

Step 2: Add the Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, add the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

Step 3: Whip Until Fluffy

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the mixture for 2–3 minutes until it’s light, creamy, and well-combined.

Step 4: Taste and Adjust

Give it a quick taste—add a little more cinnamon or honey if you’d like to tweak the flavor. Whip again briefly if you do.

Step 5: Store or Serve

Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve. Let it come to room temperature before spreading.

How to Serve and Store Cinnamon Honey Butter

This butter shines when served with warm rolls, especially fresh dinner rolls or copycat Texas Roadhouse ones. It also pairs wonderfully with pancakes, cornbread, banana bread, and muffins.

To store, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Just let it thaw and come to room temperature before using.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use salted butter instead?

Yes, but reduce or skip the added salt to avoid overpowering the sweetness.

Can I make it dairy-free?

You can try using a vegan butter substitute, but results may vary. Coconut oil is not recommended for this.

Does it need to be refrigerated?

Yes, to keep it fresh and safe. But always let it soften a bit before serving for the best spreadability.

What if I don’t have powdered sugar?

You can make your own by blending granulated sugar until fine, though it won’t be quite as smooth.

Can I double the batch?

Absolutely! It scales well. Just make sure your mixer can handle the volume.
