Energy-dense blend of honey and butter
CALORIES

1 tablespoon (medium) of Honey butter mixture (20 g) has 108 calories. That works out to 541 calories per 100 g. It contains 8.2 g of carbs, 0.1 g of protein, 8.5 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 68.4 µg of Vitamin A covers 8% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 48 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Honey butter mixture combines softened butter with honey to make a smooth, spreadable blend. Its sweet, floral notes meet the rich, creamy taste of butter, and it is easy to mix at home. In the United States and elsewhere, it is commonly spread on toast, biscuits, cornbread or pancakes, served at breakfast or alongside a meal. A little also works as a topping for warm bread.
It is energy-dense, with most of its calories coming from fat and carbohydrates, so a thin layer brings plenty of flavour. For a lighter serving, spread it sparingly or use a little less butter when making it. The choice of honey—from mild to strongly flavoured—can change the balance of sweetness and aroma.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

A honey butter mixture is made by stirring honey into softened butter until smooth. Keep the butter soft rather than melted; melted butter can leave the mixture greasy and less spreadable.
A useful starting ratio for a honey butter mixture is two parts butter to one part honey. Add more honey gradually if you prefer it sweeter, while checking that the mixture still holds its shape.
A honey butter mixture is commonly spread on toast, biscuits, cornbread, or pancakes. It also works as a finishing spread on warm rolls; add it after cooking so it melts without scorching.
Yes, refrigerate a honey butter mixture in a covered container because it contains butter. Let only the amount you plan to serve soften briefly, rather than leaving the whole batch out for extended periods.
A homemade honey butter mixture is best used within about one to two weeks when kept covered and refrigerated. Use a clean utensil each time, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Yes, a honey butter mixture can be frozen in a tightly sealed, freezer-safe container. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir it again before serving; do not refreeze it after thawing.
A honey butter mixture can turn grainy when the honey crystallizes, or look separated if the butter was too warm when mixed. Let it soften gently and stir again; avoid heating it until oily.
Yes, salted butter works in a honey butter mixture and gives the sweetness a savory contrast. Taste it before adding any extra salt, since the butter may already provide enough.
Not as a direct one-for-one replacement: a honey butter mixture also adds honey, which changes a recipe’s sweetness and moisture. Use it as a spread, or choose a baking recipe specifically designed for honey.
Yes, a honey butter mixture can raise blood sugar because honey supplies carbohydrates. The butter does not cancel out that effect, so people managing diabetes should account for it in their meal plan.
