About this cranberry cinnamon honey butter
This butter is perfect on any bread, but on toasted bread? Oh my. It melts down and the cranberries almost turn into a jelly-jam type substance.
It. Is. So. Good.
Also, I’d highly recommend spreading it on this homemade oat bread. The flavors are just perfect for each other.
Almost as if they were made for each other.
Oh wait, they are.
P.S. Try this cranberry cinnamon honey butter on whole wheat pancakes! So delicious! It would be so good on pumpkin bran muffins, too.

Changes I would make: None!
Difficulty: Easy!
Oh…how I wish that was sitting in front of me right now.

Could this butter be sweetened with maple syrup instead of honey since the cranberry bread has maple syrup as an ingredient ?
Yes, definitely! That will be delicious.
Would love to make this butter with the bread for Christmas gifts! How much does it make? Wanting to fill the smallest canning jars.
Thank you!
It uses 1 stick of butter so it makes just over 1/2 cup.
This is DELICIOUS Rachel! I just made it. Super easy and very yummy. I’m serving it with homemade beer bread for Thanksgiving. I didn’t think it made a large enough batch, so I ended up using the same ingredients with mascarpone cheese instead of butter… so now I have 2 different yummy options. Thanks for the recipe! :) :) Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh YUM! I’m so glad you like it and the mascarpone cheese version sounds so fantastic! Happy Thanksgiving, Rachael!
