Yeast Free Honey Cinnamon Coconut Butter
Warm, fragrant, and naturally sweet, this coconut butter is the kind of spread that makes you want to slather it on everything in sight. Raw honey and ground Ceylon cinnamon fold into freshly processed coconut to create something that tastes far more indulgent than its short ingredient list suggests. Because it's built entirely from whole, unfermented ingredients, there's no leavening, no yeast, and nothing that would raise a flag for anyone keeping a strict yeast-free kitchen. The process is surprisingly satisfying to watch — shredded coconut slowly releasing its oils in the food processor until it transforms into a glossy, pourable butter right before your eyes. A pinch of sea salt ties everything together and keeps the sweetness from going over the top. Once it cools in the jar, it firms into a perfectly spreadable consistency that works beautifully on toast, rice cakes, or stirred into oatmeal. It stores easily at room temperature, so a fresh batch is always within reach.

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.
