Silky, fragrant, and naturally sweet, this coconut butter is the kind of pantry staple that makes everything it touches taste a little more special. The food processor does the heavy lifting, coaxing plain shredded coconut through a crumbly, clumpy phase until it finally surrenders its oils and turns into a luscious, pourable butter β no added fillers or thickeners needed. A drizzle of warmed raw honey and a hit of ground Ceylon cinnamon bring warmth and depth, while a pinch of sea salt keeps it from tipping too sweet. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out here; its softer, more floral flavor is noticeably different from the sharper cassia variety and makes the finished butter taste genuinely elegant. Store-bought nut and seed butters can be a minefield for anyone navigating grain sensitivities, with shared-facility warnings and ingredient lists full of surprises β this one is made entirely from ingredients you can see and trust. Spoon it onto toast, swirl it into oatmeal, or eat it straight from the jar with absolutely no apologies. Once it cools and firms up in a glass jar on your counter, it's nearly impossible to leave alone.

Add the shredded coconut to a food processor and process on high, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula every 60 seconds, until the mixture transforms from dry crumbles to a thick paste and then to a smooth, pourable butter β about 8β10 minutes total. The coconut will go through a clumpy stage before releasing its oils; keep processing until the butter is completely smooth and fluid.
Warm the honey in a small saucepan over low heat for about 1 minute, until it is just fluid and easy to pour β do not let it simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the ground Ceylon cinnamon and sea salt until fully combined.
