Equipment

Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
Medium mixing bowl
Rubber spatula
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
¼ cup light brown sugar packed
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Add the softened butter to a medium mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the butter is light and fluffy.
Add the brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat for another 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed, until thoroughly combined and fluffy.
Transfer the whipped butter to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to use. If refrigerated, allow the butter to soften at room temperature for 15–30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Cooking Notes:

Use fully softened butter so the brown sugar and cinnamon blend evenly without leaving chunks of butter. Whip until the mixture looks lighter and fluffy, scraping down the bowl as needed.

Tips for Best Results:

Bring the butter to room temperature before mixing so it whips smoothly.
Beat until light and fluffy rather than stopping as soon as the ingredients are combined.
Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl so the cinnamon and brown sugar are evenly distributed.
Serve at room temperature for the softest, most spreadable consistency.

How to Know It’s Ready:

The butter should look light and fluffy with the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly blended throughout. It should spread easily without visible streaks or pieces of unmixed butter.
