How To Make Texas Roadhouse Butter

Step 1: Combine the Ingredients

Step 3: Serve

 Spread the butter on bread, French toast, sweet potatoes, or any other food you'd like, and enjoy!

Pro Tips To Make The Best Texas Roadhouse Honey Cinnamon Butter

• Start with softened butter. For the smoothest, fluffiest texture, make sure your butter is fully softened before mixing. Leaving it out overnight is ideal, but you can also microwave it in 5-second bursts until just pliable. This helps the cinnamon and honey blend evenly into the butter.
• Adjust the sweetness. If you prefer your honey cinnamon butter a little sweeter, add an extra tablespoon of honey. Taste as you go until you find the balance you love—just like the spread at Texas Roadhouse.
• Add a flavor boost. Stir in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract for a subtle depth of flavor that pairs perfectly with the warm cinnamon and rich butter.
• Whip for extra fluffiness. For that restaurant-style lightness, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the butter for 1–2 minutes. This incorporates air, making the spread even more spreadable and fluffy.
• Make a double batch. Trust me—you’ll want extra! This copycat Texas Roadhouse butter goes beyond dinner rolls. Try it on pancakes, waffles, cornbread, or even roasted sweet potatoes. It stores well, so making more is always a good idea.

Texas Roadhouse Butter FAQS

What is the butter at Texas Roadhouse made of?

The famous Texas Roadhouse honey cinnamon butter is made with just a few simple ingredients: softened butter, honey, powdered sugar, and cinnamon. These combine into a sweet, fluffy spread that pairs best with warm rolls.

Can I substitute margarine for butter?

You can, but it’s not recommended. Margarine won’t give you the same rich flavor or creamy texture as real butter, and it may make the spread softer and less stable. For the most authentic copycat Texas Roadhouse butter, stick with unsalted butter.

Does Texas Roadhouse butter have to be refrigerated?

Yes, after the first day or two. You can keep the butter at room temperature for up to 48 hours, but after that, it should be refrigerated to stay fresh. Stored in the fridge in an airtight container, it will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Can I freeze cinnamon honey butter?

Absolutely. Portion the butter into airtight containers or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then whip or stir before serving to bring back the fluffy texture.

How do I make the butter extra fluffy like at the restaurant?

Whip the softened butter with a hand mixer or stand mixer for 1–2 minutes before adding the other ingredients. This incorporates air, giving the butter a light, whipped consistency just like the spread at Texas Roadhouse.
