Ingredients

• 2 sticks of butter, at room temperature – Creates the rich, creamy base and helps the mixture whip smoothly.

• 1 c. powdered sugar – Adds sweetness while helping create a fluffy, light texture.

• 1 c. honey – Brings natural sweetness and a smooth glossy consistency.

• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon – Provides warm spice and the signature flavor of Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Honey Butter.

Instructions

1. Cream the Butter

Place the 2 sticks of butter, at room temperature into a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed.

Continue mixing for about 1–2 minutes until the butter becomes smooth, pale, and fluffy.

Starting with room-temperature butter is essential here. Soft butter whips easily and helps create that light, airy texture that makes Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Honey Butter so irresistible.

2. Add the Powdered Sugar

Gradually add the 1 c. powdered sugar to the whipped butter.

Mix on low speed at first to prevent the sugar from puffing out of the bowl. Once incorporated, increase the speed to medium and beat until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

The powdered sugar dissolves quickly into the butter, helping create a silky consistency while adding gentle sweetness.

3. Mix in Honey and Cinnamon

Add the 1 c. honey and 2 tsp. ground cinnamon to the bowl.

Beat everything together on medium speed for another 2–3 minutes.

During this step, scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything blends evenly. Continue beating until the mixture becomes smooth, fluffy, and slightly glossy.

This is when the mixture transforms into the classic Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Honey Butter texture — light, whipped, and beautifully aromatic.

4. Check the Texture

Pause the mixer and take a look at the butter.

The finished mixture should be soft, creamy, and easy to spread. The cinnamon should be fully incorporated with no streaks remaining.

If needed, beat for an additional 30–60 seconds to ensure a perfectly even texture.

5. Transfer and Store

Spoon the finished butter into an airtight container or a serving dish.

At this point, you can either refrigerate it for longer storage or leave it at room temperature if you plan to serve it soon.

When ready to enjoy, spread generously over warm rolls, toast, bagels, pancakes, waffles, or baked sweet potatoes.

Have you ever tried warm dinner rolls with cinnamon honey butter melting into them? If not, you are in for something unforgettable.

Pro Tips for Perfect Results

Use truly softened butter
Cold butter will not whip properly and can create a lumpy texture.

Beat long enough for fluffiness
Whipping the butter mixture for a few extra minutes creates the signature airy texture.

Scrape the bowl frequently
This ensures the honey and cinnamon distribute evenly throughout the butter.

Avoid overmixing after it becomes smooth
Once glossy and fluffy, stop mixing to maintain the light consistency.

Use high-quality honey
A flavorful honey makes a noticeable difference in the final taste.

Variations & Customizations
