Cinnamon Brown Sugar Butter

I love compound butters! It’s a great way to add flavor to butter and really takes any occasion from ho-hum to outstanding.

This simple recipe for brown sugar cinnamon butter is perfect for the holidays but we make it all year round. It is incredibly delicious with my homemade biscuit recipe and goes great on cornbread too.

I recently made up a batch of sweet potato biscuits and realized this butter was perfect for it!

We frequently have this butter on hand and use it on our baked sweet potatoes. It’s a great way to lightly sweeten the potatoes without going all in with marshmallows ?

How To Make Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter

Let your butter come to room temperature. I usually make this with just one stick of butter but if you’re making as gifts, you can absolutely double, triple or even quadruple this recipe.
Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon. You can use a stand mixer if you want but if your butter is nice and soft, it’s just as easy to stir it together with a fork.
Now it’s time to pop it into the refrigerator. You have a couple options here:
- Wrap it in parchment paper – I like to make a log out of it. Some twine tied around the ends and this compound butter becomes extra festive!
- Place it in small glass canning jar or anything other airtight container. The canning jars also make this butter perfect for a cute gift idea, especially for the holidays.

How To Use This Compound Butter

The sky is the limit but here are some of our favorites ways to use this brown sugar butter:

Topping for a baked sweet potato
Served with cornbread
