Healthy recipe for honey cinnamon butter that is a perfect topping for toast, rolls, or a bowl of oatmeal. Only 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to make!
The honey cinnamon butter that some restaurants serve with their bread is very popular with patrons.
While certainly delicious, the ingredients are no doubt quite shocking. For example, I couldn’t even find a list of ingredients for Texas Roadhouse’s cinnamon butter anywhere online. 😲
First of all, these whipped spreads almost certainly aren’t butter at all. They consist of at least some (if not mostly) vegetable seed oil margarine.
Secondly, the sweeteners are either GMO high fructose corn syrup or GMO white sugar.
Third, there are undoubtedly numerous additives and fillers mixed in to ensure shelf stability and consistency of texture and taste.
One, two, three strikes you’re out!
If you enjoy the taste of processed honey cinnamon butter concoctions, you can make a healthy version for your family in only 5 minutes with 3 whole food ingredients!
I recommend storing your honey cinnamon butter on the counter in a traditional French-style butter bell. It will last and stay naturally soft and spreadable for weeks!
