Each spoonful delivers a burst of warmth and sweetness. Making it the perfect addition to your morning toast, buttermilk pancakes, fresh toast, or toast. Get ready to take your taste buds on a delicious journey with this simple recipe.

Ingredients

In this section, we will talk about the ingredients needed and what they do to make this easy recipe. Along with what substations you can make to customize this butter spread to your liking.

Unsalted butter serves as the base for this compound spread. It provides a rich, creamy texture and a subtle dairy flavor that complements the sweetness of the brown sugar and the warmth of the cinnamon.

The ingredients needed to make this easy butter spread with brown sugar and cinnamon.

Brown sugar serves as the primary sweetener in this butter mixture imparting its distinctive rich and caramel-like flavor. It also adds depth and complexity to the spread, which enhances its overall taste profile.

Ground Cinnamon plays a crucial role in this brown sugar cinnamon butter spread. By adding warmth, aroma, and depth of flavor to the mixture. Its distinctively spicy and sweet taste complements the richness of the brown sugar and the creaminess of the butter. Which creates a delicious blend of flavors.

Now for the substitution for these three ingredients. When it comes to the unsalted butter the only other option is salted butter. I use unsalted just to help control the amount of sodium.

For the brown sugar, you can make your own blend with granulated sugar and molasses. Honey would be a great alternative for the brown sugar making it a cinnamon honey butter spread. Or even use powdered sugar or maple syrup. Coconut sugar or muscovado sugar are also substitutes that can be used in replacement for the brown sugar. Keep in mind though that they may bring a slightly different flavor to the spread.

Ground nutmeg or ground allspice would be a great alternative for the ground cinnamon. Again these ingredients may alter the taste of the spread.

How To Make This Compound Butter

Have you ever had Texas Roadhouse butter and wanted to know how to make it? Now you can enjoy this delicious spread in the comfort of your own home with this simple recipe.

For best results use room temperature butter, it will blend together better with the other ingredients. Using either a hand mixer and a small bowl or a stand mixer, blend the butter until it's light and fluffy.

Add in the brown sugar and cinnamon mix until the three ingredients are well combined. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

When To Serve

This easy recipe is the perfect accompaniment for serving at breakfast or brunch gatherings. Serve on top of quick breads like our easy 2 ingredient bread recipe, our homemade 3 ingredients biscuit recipe, your morning toast, french toast, pumpkin pancakes, muffins, or waffles. Take afternoon tea to the next level by serving this butter spread alongside freshly baked scones.

Not only does it make for a fantastic topping for baked goods like cinnamon rolls or banana bread. But it adds a burst of flavor for sweet potatoes, homemade rolls, glazed carrots, cornbread, roasted butternut squash, or even on grilled pineapple.

Brown sugar cinnamon butter spread is a great replacement for regular butter in many recipes.
