2 Easy Ingredients
Butter – Use regular or premium butter, and make sure it is softened before attempting to add the honey. Salted butter is ideal for this recipe, for a mouthwatering sweet-salty combination, but you can use unsalted if that is your preference. Substitute peanut butter for a totally different spin on honey butter.
Honey – Use any kind of fresh honey that is not granulated. Alternatives include maple syrup or in a pinch, corn syrup.
Variations – Spice up your honey butter with cinnamon or pumpkin spices. Add extra salt or adjust the amounts of honey to make it as sweet n’ salty as you like.

- Mix the honey and butter until no lumps remain, as per the recipe below.
Ways to Use Honey Butter
The sky’s the limit when it comes to honey butter’s usefulness!
Honey butter can enhance the savory flavors in dishes. Use it on a fried chicken and biscuit sandwich or slather it on herb garlic bread or Irish soda bread.
For a luscious treat, melt it on on slices of fluffy sweet breads when they are still warm from the oven. Honey butter gives extra yum to banana, pumpkin or lemon zucchini breads!
Storing Honey Butter
- Honey butter will harden in the refrigerator, making it too difficult to spread. Store it in a crock with a cover at room temperature, and whip up a new batch anytime it gets used up.
- If you wish to freeze it, wrap it tightly in plastic and freeze in zip bags for up to two months.
