Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons ground almonds/ almond meal (make sure it's made with peeled almonds as otherwise you'll end up with little brown bits through your butter)
- 5 tablespoons any mildly flavoured unsweetened non-dairy milk (see recipe notes for suggestions)
- 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (standard or extra virgin)
- 1/2 cup melted & room temperature refined coconut oil (it must be refined NOT unrefined)
- a pinch of turmeric (optional but helps make colour a little more yellow)
Recipe Description
If you love butter but hate the ingredients in store bought dairy free versions then this vegan butter recipe is the answer to your prayers. It is dreamily smooth, rich & creamy & can be whipped up in minutes. It is also palm oil & emulsifier free & can be used in any way you would use real butter!
This vegan butter behaves exactly as real butter does. It looks the same, it has the same mouth feel, it melts the same and it has a buttery flavour thanks to the mixture of ground almonds, nutritional yeast and apple cider vinegar. You can eat it as it is on bread, toast, melted on new potatoes, in mashed potatoes, on popcorn, really in any way that you would use real butter. You can even bake with it and use it in recipes that call for real butter or margarine.
