Agave Recipes: Easy Agave Butter, a Low Glycemic Sweetener & Honey Butter Substitute
Have you used Agave before? I have used quite a few Agave recipes and I absolutely love Agave! It has such a rich taste, which is able to sweeten foods without having to add a lot! Plus it being a low glycemic natural sweetener is a big bonus! I can have my sweets without spiking my blood sugar which helps keep my migraines manageable. I cook with Agave, I bake with Agave and it makes a delicious top sweetener for pancakes and more! But one of my favorite Agave recipes is Agave Butter!
Easy Agave recipes to create Agave Butter
Now, I did mention this was an easy recipe right? Super easy! It only requires two ingredients. 100% organic pure Agave syrup and pure butter. None of that margarine or butter substitutes. Just pure natural ingredients. It takes near equal parts, for a full cup of butter, use 3/4 cup Agave Syrup.
But if you are just mixing up for your own little family, a smaller batch is much more logical. It’s better to make smaller batches and use it up, instead of making a large batch and having lots of leftovers. It can be stored in the fridge and stays good for use later, but it’s not as fluffy and doesn’t look as nice the following days. But the flavor is still amazing. So it’s really up to you.
Agave Butter Recipe
For my family I used 1/2 cup butter and just less than 1/2 cup Agave syrup.
You let the butter soften to room temperature. Then you add in the Agave syrup and beat until light, fluffy and smooth. The spread and enjoy!
It is delicious anywhere that you would use Honey Butter. I love using it on top of our Sweet Southern Cornbread recipe. Oh my it is delicious. And everyone that tries it falls in love with it. More than just my family! I had a bunch of ladies over for an Agave tasting party. And they loved it. It was light, great flavor, wasn’t over powering and just the right amount of sweetness.
There are lots of different brands of Agave syrup on the market. What you need to pay more attention to is that is is 100% Agave, organic and natural. Make sure that the brand you are buying, isn’t adding any secret junk into your Agave syrup! If you get the right brand you can find ones that are certified organic, GMO free, and Vegan friendly! Plus they are gluten free!

And no, this isn’t a sponsored post in any manner. I just love Agave! And I love my Agave recipes, I love Agave butter! I wanted to share my love with you all!
What food would you spread with your Agave Butter?
Do you have any great Agave recipes?
Ooh yummy! That looks great! I just purchased some Agave but haven’t really taken the time to use it. This sounds incredible!
That would go great with my banana bread. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the recipe! I have a bunch of their sweeteners and cannot wait to give them a try!
This is great info! I haven’t tried Agave yet and now I must! Thanks for sharing!
I used to have insulin resistance (cured by eating Paleo), but I can’t eat Agave. I use 100% Pure Grade B Maple Syrup instead. I’m going to try to make a Maple Butter – YUM!
What a great idea! I haven’t tried agave yet, but I am becoming more and more interested in sugar alternatives.
Yum this sounds delicious! Would be wonderful on French Toast I bet.
I love Agave and love using it instead of sugar.
I’ve got Agave at home right now, and have really only been using it as a sweetener. Your post is making me want to try some new recipes. That butter looks awesome! I’ll be sure to share what I make and link your post, if that’s okay!
Mmmmm….this looks so tasty. I never thought of using agave syrup (I usually use local honey).
I have NO idea what I would use it for. I don’t even know what it tastes like but it look yummy!
Sounds delicious! Never tried agave before.
Yum! Sounds fabulous.
I love baking with Agave, it is a great alternative sweetener for my high blood sugar! That Southern Cornbread looks simply sinful!
I normally don’t cook anything but if I did I feel this would be something good to use. If I do, magically, start to cook I’ll check this out. And- your photo is making me hungry btw, haha. That butter looks delicious!
i totally want to try agave sometime!!

We use Agave all the time.I love it on top of yogurt too! So yummy!
I would put this on english muffins or bread.
i love blue agave and use it it frequently on my french toast instead of syrup
I need to learn to use Agave more. Thanks for sharing this great recipe and reminding me to look for more.
This sounds great! I bet it would be great on cornbread!
I love using Agave in some of my recipes, but I really like this agave butter, I think it would taste very delicious on cornbread. I would put it on my cornbread when it is warm. What a great idea! Thanks for this recipe, I will be making this!
We have agave and I never even thought to use it for this!
Sounds yummy…i don’t think I’ve ever tried any Agave foods!
