As someone who frequented Texas Roadhouse in college (it was dangerously close to campus), someone who enjoys making fluffy rolls and other yeast breads on the regular, I also love a good condiment that can turn already-delicious bread into something more interesting. This homemade version of Texas Roadhouse’s cinnamon honey butter is the perfect way to bring that restaurant feel into your own kitchen, and you’re going to be shocked at just how simple it is to make.

We aren’t starting from complete scratch and actually churning the butter from milk, but we are starting with plain ol’ butter and jazzing it up in the form of sweet and salty cinnamon honey butter.

And!! Because I know so many of you are loving my white sandwich bread, I’m bringing you yet another super easy yeast bread recipe next week to put this sassy butter all over. Stay tuned for that one!

So much bread + goodies for on top! So let’s get to it.

•vanilla extract
• sea salt

How to Make Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Honey Butter

As I said, we’re not starting from super scratch, so we’re beginning our butter with one stick of softened butter.

I highly recommend working with salted butter here, but if unsalted is all you have, that’s completely fine. We’ll adjust the additional salt based on what you’re using.

There’s really only one step: combine all of the ingredients and beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.

Next optional (but encouraged) step: taste the butter, then add more powdered sugar or salt, depending on your sweet or salty preference.

Just a few moments in the stand mixer or in a bowl with a paddle attachment and you’ve got yourself some finger lickin’, sweet and salty, Texas Roadhouse cinnamon butter.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I am so sad for you!

Perhaps grab a reservation at your local Texas Roadhouse when you’re able to sit in a restaurant again, and you’ll learn about the amazingness that is their in-house cinnamon honey butter.

I would venture to say this rivals that pretty well, especially because you can make it in the comfort of your own home and don’t have to order an entree to get a pat of it with a bowl of rolls.

That’s a pretty good deal, if I say so myself.

I will admit, the older toddler ate some straight up, which I frowned upon initially, until I also had myself a small swipe on my finger. While I don’t necessarily condone eating butter straight up, I will go on the record and say that this cinnamon honey butter recipe is definitely worthy of eating all by itself.

I mean, these are weird times. Maybe eating butter right out of the jar is something you’re into right now to keep things interesting? It’s truly up to you.

But for sure, please keep making your own bread at home, because it makes me so happy to hear you say you did it and are PROUD of yourself, and then we have more reasons to whip up homemade cinnamon honey butter.

That’s not a bad world to live in, friends.

  1. My teenager works (not at the moment) at the Texas Roadhouse, and how I miss that cinnamon butter. Love that this recipe looks extra cinnamony too. Will have to put this on the list to make. Oh I hear you on a kid eating straight up butter, been there. Thanks 🙂
