Turmeric Free Honey Cinnamon Coconut Butter
Warm honey, fragrant cinnamon, and rich coconut come together in a spread that tastes like something you'd find at a specialty shop — except you made it yourself in under fifteen minutes of active effort. The process is genuinely satisfying to watch: shredded coconut slowly releases its natural oils in the food processor, transforming from dry crumbles into a silky, pourable butter before you even add anything else. Ceylon cinnamon is the star spice here, chosen for its delicate, almost floral warmth rather than the sharper bite of cassia — and it's completely free of any golden-hued spices that can sneak into blended seasoning mixes. Store-bought nut and seed butters often hide unexpected additions, so making your own gives you full control over every single ingredient. A gentle warm of raw honey before stirring it in helps everything blend seamlessly, and the optional splash of melted coconut oil keeps the texture luxuriously smooth if your batch firms up a little too thick. Spread it on toast, swirl it into oatmeal, or eat it straight off the spoon — no judgment. Once it cools and sets in the jar, you'll have a beautifully fragrant, golden spread ready to reach for all week long.

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.
- 2
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.
