Coconut Oil Honey "Butter"

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.

    1. 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?

    2. I 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!

  8. If I add cinnamon to this, would I then need to store it in the fridge?

    Thanks!

    2. How much cinnamon would you recommend adding?

    3. I 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.
