Chestnut Free Honey Cinnamon Coconut Butter
Warm, fragrant, and impossibly creamy, this coconut butter is the kind of spread that makes you want to slather it on everything in sight. Shredded coconut gets processed until it releases its natural oils and transforms into a silky, pourable butter — no nuts, no tree-nut blends, just pure coconut doing all the heavy lifting. A drizzle of gently warmed raw honey and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon fold in at the end, giving the finished jar a subtly sweet, warmly spiced flavor that feels almost indulgent. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out here — it's noticeably softer and more floral than the standard supermarket variety, and it makes a real difference in the final taste. Store-bought nut and seed butters can be a minefield when you're navigating tree-nut concerns, since shared equipment and blended products are everywhere on those shelves. Making this at home means you control every single ingredient from start to finish. Spoon it over toast, swirl it into oatmeal, or eat it straight from the jar — no judgment.

16 servings
- 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3 tbsp raw honey
- 1 tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted (optional)
Instructions
- 1
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 — about 8–10 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 — do not let it simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the ground Ceylon cinnamon and sea salt until fully combined.
