This is how we do butter in Texas! You just can’t have too much onion, and the cinnamon works with that sweet onion flavor so well. If you’ve never tried it, then you just won’t know for sure until you do.
It’s so quick and easy to make. And of course, you can store it in the fridge just like you store any other butter. Always on hand to spread on a nice slab of fresh cornbread, or maybe a big thick piece of Texas toast!
So give it a try. You can make 1/4 the recipe if you’re not sure. But you better either have more butter on hand, or be close to the grocery store, because you’ll be making more!
Cinnamon Onion Butter
Ingredients
1 stick of butter (softened)
1/3 cup green onions (thinly sliced)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preparation
1) Thinly slice your green onions, using the bulb and most of the tops. I usually stop chopping once I get close to the end of the tops, as it gets pretty flimsy. I like the firmer part, but that’s strictly up to you and your preferences.
2) Blend all ingredients and refrigerate to allow it to set up nicely.

Cinnamon and onion — not a combo I’ve tried before, and definitely not in butter, but it sounds interesting.
Thanks Lydia. I know what you’re saying. I did think it could be good, but was very surprised and pleased at just how good it was!
WOW, this is a DEFINITE for me – sounds SO good, I love green onions. never thought to pair with cinnamon – very creative, Curt! thanks for sharing!
This butter looks very addictive! You can end up eating up all the bread, just so you can have some of this butter!
I wouldn’t reserve this only for cornbread or toast – I think it would finish grilled salmon or a seared steak nicely, too!
Wow, this sounds lovely. I’m such a fan of onion and cinnamon but I would never think of combining the two. I’m on board with this! Now, will you just bring me some?!?!
That looks so fantastic. Cannot wait to try it. Come visit us. We have cranberry couscous on the menu.
what a fancy way to enjoy butter! Green onion and cinnamon, an intriguing combo.
Curt – this is such a unique butter! I bet it’s terrific on corn bread! Thanks for sharing!
Never would have thought to combine them. Sounds worth trying!
So simple, so unexpected, so delicious!
This is the type of recipe I love only a few ingredients. Sounds so simple!
I have mixed fresh garlic with butter but never thought about onions. And cinnamon? Wow! Sounds interesting!
Yum, I do one that is sort of similar. I sweeten mine up a little though.
Sweet sounds good. I love the butter that comes with the rolls at the Texas Roadhouse if you’ve ever eaten there. That one is nice and sweet too!
