Are you ready for an alternative to Honey Butter? An alternative that might even taste BETTER than real honey butter? I know, that is a bold statement, but you gotta try it to believe it. I can't even begin to describe how AMAZING this tastes.
Some say coconut oil is better for you than butter. It has ZERO cholesterol and ZERO trans fats. Flavor-wise, I LOVE IT, but like any other butter or oil, this is still something you would want to enjoy in moderation. A small amount on a slice of bread is plenty.
This isn't the first time I have made this. The first time I smothered it over warm rolls a few months ago, but this time I was craving my favorite Copycat Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat Bread.
That hearty, dense, delicious bread topped with this creamy spread is so irresistible that you better make two loaves of bread while you are at it.
You know what else I love? You don't have to store the leftover "butter" in the fridge. So, it always stays soft and creamy and spreadable.

DeleteWhat a great idea for a twist to regular honey butter!
ReplyDeleteOMG! You're a genius!! And the possibilities... Totally making some of this for my toast!
ReplyDeletemmm . . . it will be so good on toast, thanks!
DeleteI think this would be amazing in oatmeal:) thanks for sharing it:)
ReplyDeleteOhh heavens. I use coconut oil for everything. I MUST try this!
ReplyDeleteSame . . . I love the stuff. Thanks!
DeleteLove love love! Can't wait to try this :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Holly!
DeleteI tried making this but it never became light and fluffy and creamy :-(
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try again because it looks amazing! Any tips?
Maybe it's a difference in the brand? I use Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil from Costco. It is pretty firm and you have to scoop it out with a spoon, but once you add the honey and mix it with the beaters for a few minutes it softens up and is creamy and spreadable. How was yours?
DeleteI had the same issue, so I started experimenting. I went ahead and melted the ingredients together in the microwave and stirred to make sure it was combined. I then placed it in the refrigerator until it solidified. Then I used the hand mixer on it, and it worked!!! Such a yummy treat!
DeleteIf I add cinnamon to this, would I then need to store it in the fridge?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
This will be great with cinnamon and no, it won't need to be stored in the fridge. Thanks.
DeleteHow much cinnamon would you recommend adding?
DeleteI love cinnamon, so I would start with 3/4 teaspoon and then taste and add more if needed. You could always start with 1/2 teaspoon and add more after that.
