Texas Roadhouse honey butter
I took a jar of this to my niece's house last time we visited. Along with some fresh baked banana bread. We enjoyed a cup of coffee and chatted while feasting on this treat. She was so appreciative!
It's perfect with rolls, on toast and muffins, scones etc. I bet you'll love it as much as we do!
Ingredients you’ll need
For the exact measurements for the Texas Roadhouse Butter, please refer to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Unsalted room temperature butter - However you can use salted butter, just omit the added salt.
- Honey - you can use maple syrup instead. It gives it more of a fall flavor.
A teaspoon of pure vanilla extract is a great addition to this recipe.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ’s)
You can substitute a zero calorie powdered sugar, however the resulting butter will not be silky smooth. I would not substitute the honey.
Yes it is. Compound butter is simply unsalted butter mixed with other ingredients and this Texas Roadhouse butter is no exception. It uses cinnamon and honey with powdered sugar as the main flavor contributors.
Top Tip
Use real butter and real powdered sugar! The results will not be the same if you use a margarin or a low calorie substitute for the powdered sugar.
- Leave the butter out overnight. That way it's super easy to mix together and will get ultra silky smooth!
- For best results use a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, or a hand mixer.
- Make a double batch! You'll be surprised how quickly this will disappear. Because it freezes well, you can make a double-batch and pop the extra cinnamon butter in the freezer!
How to store leftovers
It can be left on the counter up to three days. The butter is best served at room temperature.
- Refrigerator - store in an airtight container or cover with plastic wrap.Refrigerate up to two weeks.
- Freezer - I recommend a plastic airtight container for the freezer. If you place it in glass and then freeze, the expansion of the solids may crack the glass as it freezes. It will last well sealed up to three months frozen.

Tana R Cummins says
If you place in refrigerator does this butter harden?
Debra Clark says
Yes, it will harden if refrigerated. Additionally, I've spread it on plastic wrap, rolled it into a log, and refrigerated it (or freeze). Then you can slice off the amount you need. It works really well!

This is wonderful on toast, muffins or just plain bread. Love it
