Warm honey, fragrant Ceylon cinnamon, and rich coconut come together in a spread that tastes like something you'd find at a specialty market β except you made it yourself in about ten minutes of active effort. The process is genuinely satisfying to watch: shredded coconut slowly transforms in the food processor from dry crumbles into a glossy, pourable butter before the honey-cinnamon mixture gets swirled in. Store-bought nut and seed butters can be a minefield when you're avoiding tree nuts, with shared equipment and blended varieties making labels hard to trust β this one is made entirely from coconut, so there's no guesswork. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out here; it's softer and more floral than the common cassia variety, and it makes the finished spread taste noticeably more refined. A small drizzle of melted coconut oil is optional but helps if your butter turns out thicker than you'd like. Spoon it onto toast, swirl it into oatmeal, or eat it straight from the jar β it firms to a perfectly spreadable consistency once it cools, and it keeps beautifully in a sealed glass jar at room temperature.

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.
