Creamy, sweet, and just slightly salty is how you would describe the Outback’s honey butter, which has this oddly special quality. The first time I ever tasted it in the restaurant’s setting, I wished I could get it home. But now, the good news is that we’re talking about something you can prepare in a matter of minutes and probably using ingredients already on hand. It’s rich, creamy, and easy to smear on a piece of warm bread, muffin, or pancake.

What is Outback Steakhouse Honey Butter All About?

Outback Steakhouse Honey Butter is something everyone can fall in love with: a sweet and creamy spread that charms with rich butter and sweet honey. It has a fluffiness to the sensation that lets it melt in your mouth almost instantly and takes any kind of bread service to another level entirely. The flavor is buttery smooth sweetness, just sweet enough so as not to be sickeningly overwhelming.

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for warmth)
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Keep butter at room temperature to soften; this will speed up the mixing-paddles’ work by about thirty seconds.
Add honey, cinnamon (optional), and a pinch of salt.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, mix together until fluffy and smooth.
Taste and add more sweetener or salt to your liking.
Transfer to a small serving bowl or jar and serve right away or chill until firm.

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
For longer storage, freeze for two months; thaw in the fridge overnight before use.

Serving Suggestions

Spread over warm bread, biscuits, or corn bread.
Drizzle over pancakes, waffles, or French toast.
Melt over roasted sweet potatoes or corn on the cob.

Pro Tips & Variations

Add a splash of vanilla extract for a deeper flavor.
Substitute cinnamon with nutmeg or pumpkin spice for something seasonal.
Use salted butter if you want a slightly stronger flavor (but then don’t add that pinch of extra salt).

FAQs

1. Is this Honey Butter very sweet?

Actually, it’s not and in fact, it’s only mildly sweet, which is when you pair it with its buttery bases just perfect.

2. Is it possible to make it free of dairy?

Yes. Just substitute vegan butter for any dairy butter and you’ll have a delicious recipe without any dairy.

3. Will maple syrup work?

Definitely, as well, because it will give the butter a completely different, richer flavor.

4. Is the cinnamon really necessary?

Not at all; it’s completely optional. The original flavor of Outback is just really pure honey butter, but a little cinnamon adds that warmth.
