Seed Oil 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. It comes together with just a handful of clean ingredients — shredded coconut, raw honey, Ceylon cinnamon, and sea salt — with zero industrial oils anywhere in sight. Most store-bought nut and seed butters sneak in refined vegetable or canola oil as a filler, so making your own is the only way to know exactly what you're getting. The magic here is patience: letting the food processor run long enough for the coconut to release its own natural oils means the butter emulsifies itself into something silky and luscious without any shortcuts. Ceylon cinnamon adds a delicate, almost floral warmth that pairs beautifully with the honey, keeping the flavor complex without being heavy. Once it cools in the jar, it firms to a perfectly spreadable consistency that works on toast, stirred into oatmeal, or eaten straight off a spoon — 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.
