Rich, creamy, and warmly spiced, this coconut butter is the kind of spread that makes you want to slather it on everything in sight. It starts with nothing but shredded coconut blitzed in a food processor until the natural oils release and the whole thing transforms into a silky, pourable butter β no dairy, no animal products of any kind, just pure coconut magic. A drizzle of raw honey and a hit of ground Ceylon cinnamon get stirred in while still warm, giving the finished spread a gentle sweetness and a fragrant, almost floral spice note that sets it apart from anything you'd find at the store. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out here β it's noticeably softer and more complex than the common cassia variety, and it really shines in something this simple. A pinch of sea salt ties everything together and keeps it from tasting one-dimensional. Once it cools in the jar, it firms up to a perfectly spreadable consistency that's dreamy on toast, stirred into oatmeal, or eaten straight off a spoon. The whole process is surprisingly hands-off, and the result is a pantry staple you'll want to keep stocked at all times.

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.
