An Irresistible Treat to Sweeten Your Day
Friends, this recipe has been a looooong time coming. I’ve been making this Cinnamon Butter on repeat for months now, and we’ve been putting it on all kinds of things. Although it resembles the famous and totally addictive Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Butter, this version is actually inspired by something else entirely.
Growing up, my mom used to buy us a delightful cinnamon spread for our toast, but one day, it disappeared from the grocery store shelves. I was a little distraught, to be honest. My craving was real, and the only solution was to figure out how to make it at home.
Since that day, I haven’t stopped making it. In fact, I often bake more breads and muffins just so I don’t resort to eating it with a spoon!
