These Flavored Butters are little bundles of flavor! So good and so simple!
How secretly great is amazing butter? They are creamy, rich, sweet, savory, and herby little batches of delicious.
1. Garlic Herb Butter
I mean, I use this butter for everything. I cook with it, I spread it on bread, I let it melt all over steaks… let’s just say when I have this around, it does not last long. It is so flavorful and just stupidly easy to make.
All you need is butter, garlic, parsley, and salt. (I love to add chives, too). It is amazing when it’s spread on dinner rolls or mixed right into mashed potatoes.
I also use this butter for cooking eggs, steak, and even grilled cheese. Total game-changer. And if you want to make it even more next-level, try mixing in some blue cheese!
2. Honey Sriracha Butter
This honey Sriracha compound butter is just perfect for when you are craving Asian-inspired food. Asian cooking is so well known for its mastery of combining sweet and savory flavors.
I’m talking about sweet and sour sauce, orange chicken, or teriyaki. This butter totally captures that sweet, savory, and spicy vibe, and it is just plain delicious.
If you aren’t a big fan of spice but still love the flavor of Sriracha, don’t worry! You can totally adjust the spice level to whatever you prefer.
3. Cinnamon Butter (Texas Roadhouse Copycat)
Some restaurants are just known for one specific menu item, you know? Outback Steakhouse has its Bloomin’ Onion (YUM!!), and Red Lobster has those incredible Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
But Texas Roadhouse is famous for that fantastic cinnamon butter that comes with the bread. And this amazing copycat recipe brings the restaurant right to your own table.
This butter is cinnamony, sweet, and tastes good on everything. You will probably just want to eat it straight from the container.
4. Strawberry Butter
Sweet dreams are made of this pretty, pastel strawberry compound butter. It is the perfect summer spread. Sweet strawberries and floral honey are what give this butter its flavor.
And of course, you need some good quality butter, too. The acidity from the strawberries balances the richness of the butter just perfectly. It’s creamy, sweet, fresh, and oh-so tasty. I love to slather this on warm scones!
5. Maple Butter
Maple is such a uniquely North American treat. Seriously. You cannot get pure maple syrup outside of the Continent, unless you want to pay an exorbitant price. That makes this maple butter a really special spread.
And, like a few other imposters on this list, there is no actual butter involved here.
It’s also known as maple cream, and this treat only needs two ingredients: maple syrup and oil. Then, it’s just a process of cooking, cooling, warming, and beating. It is simple, but it does take time.
This sweet cream is perfect for spreading on bread, doughnuts, pancakes, cookies, and so much more!
6. Fig Honey Butter
Just like apple butter, this fig honey butter is actually dairy-free. But that said, it’s a ridiculously delicious sweet and spiced spread that is perfect for all kinds of yummy things.
I think it would be amazing on sugar cookies, almost like a rustic Fig Newton.
7. Jalapeño Honey Butter
This butter is fresh, spicy, sweet, and just insanely good. Honestly, it’s perfect on just about any bread you can think of.
The honey and the jalapeño work together so beautifully. It’s so good that even if you typically don’t like spicy things, you will probably like this. I definitely suggest serving it with a batch of plain cornbread.
8. Red Wine and Shallot Butter
Add a little elegance to your dinner with this red wine and shallot butter. One bite and everyone will think you are a five-star chef! It’s rich, savory, and absolutely delectable. Plus, it pairs so beautifully with steak and potatoes.
You want to know the best part? It only takes 15 minutes to prepare. So, you get to be a a dinner boss and still have time for your family. How’s that for a win-win?
9. Whipped Pumpkin Spice Butter
Do you dream of cool fall days with boots, sweaters, and pumpkin spice lattes? Then, you need to make this insane whipped, sweet butter recipe.
It’s filled with warm spices, sweet pumpkin, and floral honey, which makes it so rich and luxurious. It is the perfect spread to just plop on top of your favorite fall baked goods.
10. Bacon Butter
Everything is better with bacon, don’t you think? And that goes double for butter! This recipe has all kinds of healthy fats and nutrients, plus it’s super flavorful. It’s salty, meaty, garlicky, creamy, and deliciously savory.
Use it on bread, bagels, potatoes, pasta, and vegetables. You could even use it on flatbread with cheese and tomatoes for a simple, light meal.
11. Cranberry Butter
Say ‘hello’ to the holidays with this cranberry butter! Everyone at your table will love it because not only is it stunning, but it’s delicious to boot.
This butter has a delicious duo of cranberry and orange. It’s tart and just a little sweet, so it pairs perfectly with so many holiday goodies.
12. Easy Pear Butter
I love pears, but I often buy way more than I can possibly eat. This pear butter is a fantastic way to preserve any extra or slightly overripe pears. Just like the other fruit “butters” on this list, this pear butter is more like a jam.
But, it’s been reduced down enough that it has a buttery consistency. It is floral, sweet, and wonderfully spiced. I really love this pear butter in my oatmeal in the mornings. That said, it makes a terrific tart or cake filling, too.
13. Honey Butter
Try this honey butter, and you’ll never go back to regular butter again. Especially when you use it on pancakes, muffins, or toast. It is so easy to make, and everyone will love it.
All you need is butter, honey, and vanilla. Easy peasy. This whipped butter is so soft and creamy, it feels just like frosting. In fact, I think this would make a fantastic base for an American buttercream!
14. Cinnamon Sugar Butter with Brown Sugar
There is something truly magical about the combination of cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter. And you will find it on so many delicious treats, like cinnamon rolls, coffee cake, apple pie, and streusel topping.
With this cinnamon sugar butter, you can get that dessert feeling on even more food! Spread it on dinner rolls, dip apple slices into it, smear it over toast, or add a dollop to a warm muffin. You just can’t go wrong with this recipe!
15. Horseradish Butter
This horseradish butter packs a powerful flavor punch. So, if you need to kick your cooking up a notch, this is for you.
All you need is butter, horseradish, and chives, then blitz everything in your food processor until it’s all incorporated.
You can also mix it by hand. It’s that simple! I recommend using this butter with potatoes, either mashed right into them or melted over the top. It is spicy, bold, and super delicious.
16. Cinnamon Vanilla Honey Butter
Cinnamon, honey, and vanilla? Oh my! This butter is so tasty, you might be tempted to just eat it with a spoon. It’s sweet, fluffy, and perfectly spreadable.
Add it to your favorite pancakes along with maple syrup for a breakfast that is just so indulgent and good.
