I’m so excited to share with you my favorite whipped honey butter recipe! This delicious spread is a staple in our household, and I just know it will become a favorite in yours too.
The combination of creamy honey and rich butter is absolutely divine, and the best part is that it’s incredibly easy to make. I love serving this at family gatherings and holidays because it’s always a crowd-pleaser.
The key to making this recipe is to use high-quality ingredients and to not overmix the butter β you want it to be smooth and creamy, but still hold its shape. This whipped honey butter is perfect for toast, biscuits, or even as a dip for fruit.
It’s also a great way to add a little extra flavor to your oatmeal or yogurt. My kids devour this stuff, and I know yours will too!
We like to make a big batch on the weekends and use it throughout the week. It’s just one of those recipes that never gets old.
Plus, it’s super healthy β honey has antibacterial properties and butter contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which can help with weight management. So go ahead, give it a try, and let me know what you think!
Whipped Honey Butter

A light and fluffy butter spread sweetened with honey and a pinch of salt. Perfect for slathering on warm bread, pancakes, or muffins.
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
π¨βπ³Directions
1Place the softened butter in a medium mixing bowl.
2Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until the butter is pale and creamy, scraping down the sides once.
3Add the honey and salt to the whipped butter.
4Continue beating on medium-high speed for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is very light, fluffy, and increased in volume, scraping the bowl as needed.
5Use a rubber spatula to transfer the whipped honey butter to an airtight container.
6Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving, or serve immediately at room temperature.
For best results, ensure the butter is truly at room temperature (soft but not melted). You can substitute the salt with a flaky sea salt for a subtle crunch. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; let soften before spreading.

β Frequently Asked Questions About Whipped Honey Butter
Q: What type of honey should I use?
A: You can use any type of honey you like, but I prefer using clover or wildflower honey for its mild flavor and smooth texture.
Q: Can I make this recipe with brown sugar instead of honey?
A: While you can use brown sugar in place of honey, keep in mind that it will give your whipped butter a slightly different flavor profile. Brown sugar has a more pronounced molasses flavor that might not pair as well with the butter.

A: Unfortunately, no β this recipe contains dairy butter and is not suitable for vegans. However, you can easily make a vegan version by substituting the butter with a plant-based alternative.
