Homemade Cinnamon Butter Recipe that is lightly sweetened. Perfect for pancakes, toast, homemade bread, pumpkin rolls or homemade biscuits.
Homemade Cinnamon Butter
I’ve already told you about my crazy love for homemade bread.
But what goes best with freshly baked bread? Homemade cinnamon butter. Lightly sweetened and with a touch of vanilla.
It couldn’t be easier to make and really goes perfectly on top of pancakes, waffles, biscuits, buttery rolls…and even on top of crackers.
This cinnamon butter recipe takes barely 5 minutes to mix up. I recommend making a double batch. As the butter sits in the refrigerator, the flavors will blend together nicely. And if you have kids like I do? This isn’t going to last long. So yeah…make a bunch.
Notes on Making Cinnamon Butter:
- I used salted butter because that is what I keep on hand. If you use unsalted butter, you may want to add a pinch of salt. Oh…and it goes without saying, use 100% real butter!
- These ingredient amounts are just a suggestion. If you like a little more cinnamon or vanilla flavor, add more if you’d like.
- Our favorite cinnamon? Saigon Cinnamon. I buy it in bulk and find it really makes my baked goods taste just a little bit better.
- If you’d like, you can use honey instead of powdered sugar, or even a mixture of the two. Sweeten the butter with your favorite sweetener!

This was so yummy!!
Hey I just made it and put it in the fridge. However when I took it out and was kinda frozen instead of a creamy consistency. Is it supposed to be like this or am I supposed to do something else.
