Why this recipe works
I started experimenting with vegan butter five years back; since then, I have learned a lot of tricks and developed a better real butter alternative.
It's tried and tested!
This vegan butter recipe is quick, easy, and delicious!
It only requires a few simple ingredients and has no animal products. The base ingredients are probably already in your kitchen.
Any non-dairy milk you have will work for this recipe.
This recipe is also great for those who are lactose intolerant or have allergies to dairy products.
This recipe makes it easy to maintain a vegan diet and still enjoy the traditional recipes.
My intention in making homemade vegan butter is to avoid processed foods that can be way too expensive and have too many preservatives.
This vegan butter recipe is good for toast, baking, and frying.
My kids enjoy this butter every day!
This spreads like regular butter, with the same buttery flavor. The best part is it is free from palm oil and other unhealthy ingredients.
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.
