What is Honey Butter?

Honey butter is a sweet homemade butter spread made by whipping together real butter and honey until light and fluffy. It’s a perfect way to add a hint of sweetness to a variety of dishes, and can be found on serving tables from breakfast to dinner.

What Ingredients are in Whipped Honey Butter?

• Real Butter: regular butter provides the creamy base for the spread.
• Pure Honey: Adds natural sweetness and flavor to the butter.

Pro Tip: Use unsalted butter to control the salt content to your liking. Add just a pinch of salt at a time until it is at your desired flavoring.

How to Make Whipped Honey Butter:

1. Whip room temperature butter until it has a light and fluffy texture using an electric mixer with the beater or whisk attachment.
2. Gradually add the honey while continuing to whip until honey&butter are fully incorporated.
3. Transfer the fluffy honey butter to an airtight container.
4. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Pro Tip: For a fun flavor twist, consider adding a touch of spice or using flavored honey. A sprinkle of cinnamon is a great addition to make cinnamon honey butter. Or use flaky sea salt for a salty sweet spread. Or for my favorite, a splash of homemade vanilla extract for an extra tasty treat!

What Kind of Honey is Best for Whipped Honey Butter?

To make the best whipped honey butter, you want to choose high quality, flavorful honey. Varieties such as clover, wildflower, or orange blossom honey work well, but feel free to experiment with different types to find your favorite.

Pro Tip: A good rule is to choose a honey you like to eat by itself since the honey flavor will be strong in this fluffy spread too.

How Long Does Whipped Honey Butter Last?

Whipped honey butter can last for up to a month when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, I have never had a batch of honey butter last longer than a few days!

Its delicious taste and creamy texture tempts us to eat it long before it goes bad!

How to Store Whipped Honey Butter:

You want to store whipped honey butter in a container in the refrigerator with a tight-fitting lid to keep it fresh. This helps preserve its flavor and texture for an extended period.

However, when you are serving this homemade whipped honey butter recipe, you want it to be spreadable. That means you need to pull it out to soften 30-60 minutes before you are ready to use it.

Can You Freeze Whipped Honey Butter?

Yes you can freeze whipped honey butter.

I like to scoop it into balls with a melon baller or small cookie scoop. Let those balls freeze on a tray in the freezer for one hour, then transfer them to a freezer safe bag or container.

For best results, consume within 2 months of freezing and allow it to come to room temperature before serving.

What to Put Whipped Honey Butter On:

Spread whipped honey butter on your favorite bread, muffins, dinner rolls, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, or French toast for a delightful breakfast or snack.

It also pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, grilled meats, and sweet potatoes.

Can Dogs Eat Whipped Honey Butter?

Yes, your dogs can eat whipped honey butter, but it is not a good idea to feed this to them on purpose.

If they lick some up when it accidentally falls to the floor, it won’t hurt them. But the dairy in the butter and the sugar in the honey are not good for a dogs digestive system.

Keep this condiment for your human friends.

What to Serve with Whipped Honey Butter:

Serve whipped honey butter with a variety of dishes. Try breakfast classics like buttermilk pancakes and biscuits with honey cinnamon butter for a delicious morning treat. Or incorporate it into recipes for baked goods, glazes, or marinades to add a touch of sweetness. 

My favorite things to serve it with are homemade bread, hot rolls, and anything you would put Texas roadhouse butter on.

Is Whipped Honey Butter Healthy?

Whipped honey butter is delicious and made with real ingredients which make it a great condiment choice. But it is important to enjoy it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Whether you are craving restaurant style whipped honey butter recipes or are just looking for a perfect topping for your new favorite bread, this whipped honey butter recipe will give you the best flavor in no time.
