Lactose Free Honey Cinnamon Coconut Butter
Warm, fragrant, and naturally rich, this spread is made entirely from plant-based ingredients — no dairy, no cream, no compromise on flavor. Shredded coconut gets processed low and slow until it releases its own oils and transforms into a silky, pourable butter that's genuinely impressive to watch come together. A drizzle of raw honey and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon give it a gentle sweetness and warmth that makes it feel almost indulgent, even though every ingredient is completely clean. 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. Spread it on toast, swirl it into oatmeal, or eat it straight off the spoon — it holds its own in any situation. Once it cools and firms up in the jar, the texture is perfectly spreadable and keeps beautifully at room temperature.

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.
