Rice Free Honey Cinnamon Coconut Butter
Warm honey, fragrant Ceylon cinnamon, and rich coconut come together in a spread that tastes like something you'd find at a specialty market — except you made it yourself in about ten minutes of active effort. The magic here is all in the food processor: shredded coconut slowly releases its natural oils and transforms into a silky, pourable butter before the honey-cinnamon mixture ever enters the picture. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out specifically because its flavor is noticeably softer and more complex than the standard supermarket variety, and it makes a real difference in the finished jar. A touch of sea salt keeps the whole thing from tipping too sweet, balancing the raw honey beautifully. This is naturally free of grains and starches — no fillers, no thickeners, nothing that doesn't belong — so it works seamlessly for anyone navigating grain-based restrictions without sacrificing a single bit of indulgence. Spread it on apple slices, swirl it into oatmeal alternatives, or eat it straight off a spoon; it firms up to a perfectly scoopable consistency once it cools. One batch fills a glass jar and keeps well at room temperature, making it one of the most rewarding pantry staples you can put together with just a handful of clean ingredients.

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.
