So many nut butters on store shelves sneak in cashews as a filler or blending agent, which makes finding a truly safe spread feel like a scavenger hunt. This one sidesteps that problem entirely β it's built from shredded coconut and nothing else suspicious, so you can spread it freely without second-guessing the label. The magic happens in the food processor, where plain coconut slowly releases its natural oils and transforms into a silky, pourable butter before you fold in warm honey and fragrant Ceylon cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out here; its softer, more floral heat plays beautifully against the subtle sweetness of the honey rather than overpowering it. The result is a luscious, golden spread that firms up to the perfect consistency as it cools β thick enough to hold on toast but smooth enough to drizzle over oatmeal or fruit. A pinch of sea salt ties everything together and keeps it from tasting one-dimensional. Once you have a jar of this on the counter, it's genuinely hard to go back to anything from the store.

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.
