Whipped Honey Cinnamon Butter – The Texas Roadhouse Copycat Everyone Craves
If you’ve ever been to Texas Roadhouse, you already know the real star of the table isn’t the steak — it’s that butter. Soft, fluffy, sweet, and kissed with cinnamon, it melts instantly into warm rolls and somehow makes you forget the main course even exists.
This whipped honey cinnamon butter is a near-perfect copycat: light, creamy, and just sweet enough. The best part? It takes minutes to make at home with ingredients you probably already have.
Once you try it, plain butter just won’t cut it anymore.
