Dairy Free Vegan Butter Recipe
Vegan Butter is completely dairy-free and makes an excellent substitute for regular butter. This plant-based butter is creamy, melts well, and can be used for baking and cooking.
Servings: 3 cups
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup refined coconut oil warmed (see note)
- 1/2 cup canola oil or sunflower oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or other non-dairy milk (see note)
- 1/4 cup coconut cream optional
- pinch of salt
- pinch of turmeric optional for yellow color
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the warmed coconut oil, oil, milk and optional coconut cream, salt and turmeric. Whisk the ingredients together until smoothly combined.
- Refrigerate for 15 minutes to cool slightly.
- Using a hand mixer, whip the mixture at high speed to a pale, fluffy consistency, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer the butter to an airtight container. Smooth it with a spatula and cover with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the butter set.
- Use as you would regular butter.
Notes
- Coconut Oil: Heat the oil using a saucepan or the microwave just until liquified.
- Coconut Cream: Makes the butter creamier
- Non Dairy Milk: Ensure it is unsweetened and unflavored.
- Storage: If stored in the fridge, the homemade vegan butter keeps for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze it, in which case it keeps for up to about 3 months.
