Ingredients note

Refined coconut oil: I use refined coconut oil because it has a neutral flavor. You can also use unrefined coconut oil, but that would come with a which will have a strong coconut flavor.
Nutritional yeast: This gives the vegan butter a cheesy flavor. You can omit or replace it with vegan Parmesan cheese if you don't have nutritional yeast.
Almond flour: I use almond flour to thicken the vegan butter. You can also use arrowroot powder or tapioca flour.
Olive oil: I use olive oil for flavor, but you can use any type of oil that you like. Other viable options are avocado oil, vegetable oil, or canola oil.
Almond milk: I use almond milk because it's what I have on hand, but you can use any type of vegan milk.
Turmeric: A pinch of turmeric powder is for yellow color.
