Start by letting the unsalted butter soften at room temperature until it becomes spreadable. This usually takes about 20–30 minutes if it's cold from the fridge.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Using a hand mixer or a spatula, beat the mixture until smooth and creamy, ensuring all the ingredients are well integrated.
Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning if necessary—for example, adding a little more cinnamon or honey to suit your preference.
Once mixed, transfer the honey cinnamon spread into a small serving dish or an airtight container if not using immediately.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, and let it come to room temperature before serving for easy spreading.
Spread generously over toasted bagels, and enjoy!
