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!

Hi,I am going to copy down your homemade cinnamon spread recipe right now.Can I use unsalted butter and another sugar sugar substitute like stevia or agave in your recipe?I have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure so I can’t use salt in your recipe or any other recipe and I am on meds to control my symptoms.I have found some healthier cinnamon waffles that I can make in my waffle machine
My mom and I keep spices in our cubboard to use when we make and cook our healthy meals and healthy smoothies at home.

Thank you for your kind words! You can use unsalted butter. We haven’t tried it with sugar substitutes, but if you are used to the taste of them, I think it would work!

Hi, looks like just the recipe I need. Just one question: how long can it be stored in the fridge and can it be frozen? Thank you, Maryann
Julie Clark says
We’ve kept this in the fridge for a week. And yes, you can freeze it!
