Plant Based Butter Recipe
Ingredients:
1/2 cup refined coconut oil (solid but slightly soft, not melted)
1/4 cup neutral oil (like grapeseed or canola oil)
1/4 cup unsweetened, plant based milk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
Optional: 1/2 tsp nutritional yeast (for a buttery flavor boost)
Instructions:
Prepare the Milk Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the plant based milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a minute to curdle slightly, creating a “buttermilk.”
Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, add the coconut oil, neutral oil, salt, and optional nutritional yeast. Then pour in the soy milk mixture. Blend on high until everything is creamy and fully emulsified (about 1–2 minutes).
Chill and Set: Pour the mixture into a small container, then refrigerate for 1–2 hours until solidified.
Store: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
Tips:
Refined Coconut Oil: Make sure it’s refined, as unrefined will add a coconut flavor.
Blending: Emulsifying well ensures a creamy texture similar to traditional butter.
Enjoy your homemade vegan butter on toast, for baking, or in your favorite dishes!
