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.

Anna
It's a lovely recipe but how do you prevent the nutritional yeast an flour to separate and fall to the bottom when cooling?
Uma Raghupathi
Hi, Anna. After you blend it won't separate. Immediately keep the vegan butter inside the fridge.
Maryan
Yay!. That's good to hear. My kids helped me make this, it's that simple. Thank you. And the ingredients are so easy to find, though refined coconut oil is quite expensive here, I really really approve of this recipe. Thank you.
Uma Raghupathi
Thank you so much. Happy to hear from you 🙂
Kerstin
Does it taste like coconut?
Uma Raghupathi
No, it doesn't if you use refined coconut oil.
