Warm, fragrant, and impossibly silky, this coconut butter is the kind of spread that makes you want to slather it on everything in sight. The magic happens in a food processor, where shredded coconut slowly releases its natural oils and transforms into a luscious, pourable butter β no dairy, no nuts, just pure coconut richness. A drizzle of gently warmed raw honey and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon fold in at the end, giving every spoonful a subtly sweet, spiced depth that feels almost indulgent. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out here; its softer, more floral flavor keeps the spread from tasting sharp or medicinal. Store-bought nut and seed butters can be a minefield when you're avoiding walnuts due to shared processing lines and vague labeling, so making your own from scratch is a genuinely satisfying solution. The whole process is straightforward β patience during that clumpy middle stage is really the only skill required β and the result is a glossy, spreadable jar of something that tastes far more special than its short ingredient list suggests. Spoon it onto toast, stir it into oatmeal, or eat it straight from the jar with zero regrets.

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.
