Hey there, friend!

I’ve always had a soft spot for creating my own spreads, and this vegan vegan butter is no exception.

It reminds me of cozy mornings spent baking with my gran, and now I get to enjoy that nostalgia while keeping things plant-based.

Plus, it’s so simple to whip up—you’ll wonder why you ever bought the store-bought stuff!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Coconut oil is the star here, giving that creamy texture we all love. Nutritional yeast adds a nice flavor kick, but if you’re not a fan, feel free to skip it. Also, almond almond milk is my go-to, but any plant-based almond milk will work just fine!

Tips & Notes

  • I keep mine in a glass jar—this way, it stays fresh for days, and I can see how much I have left!
  • If you want a herb-infused vegan butter, toss in some garlic powder or fresh herbs before blending.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll add a teaspoon of garlic powder for a savory twist, especially if I’m using it for cooking.
  • If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a little turmeric for color and health benefits!

Storage & Freezing

Store your vegan vegan butter in the fridge, and it should last for about 2 weeks. You can also freeze it in small portions for longer storage—just thaw as needed!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other oils instead of coconut oil?

Sure! You can experiment with oils like avocado or olive, but they’ll change the flavor and texture a bit. Coconut oil gives it that buttery feel.
