Ingredients
Literally just 2 ingredients. That’s all you’ll need!
- Salted Butter – Softened to room temperature for easy whipping. You can also use unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt for balance.
- Honey – Adjust the amount to taste. Start with one tablespoon and add more if you like it sweeter!
TIP: The key to making the BEST whipped honey butter is to use high-quality butter! This butter is my favorite for making homemade honey butter.
Optional Add-Ins
- Cinnamon – For a warm, spiced flavor.
- Vanilla Extract – A very tiny amount adds just the right amount of flavor for sweeter treats.
- Maple Syrup – Swap or mix with honey for a deeper flavor.

How to Make Honey Butter
All you’ll need is 5 minutes (or less), a mixing bowl, and a hand mixer to get started. Here’s how to make homemade honey butter:
- Place the softened butter in a medium-sized bowl.
- Drizzle in the honey.
- Using a hand mixer on medium-high speed, whip for about 1-2 minutes until it’s light and fluffy.

Tips for the Best Whipped Honey Butter
- Use Room Temperature Butter – Cold butter won’t whip properly.
- Whip Long Enough – This gives it that light, airy texture.

- Store Properly – Keep it in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
