DIY Vegan Butter

I got super excited recently to see that someone I follow on instagram made her own butter from scratch! I didn’t even realize that was something people did. I thought you either bought earth balance or you didn’t use butter. Those were the 2 options in my mind. I’m so naive.

So, upon a quick google search, I realized that many people are making their own vegan butter. Why am I always the last person to hear about these things?! I followed the recipe in Miyoko’s cookbook. An important thing to note is that you need to buy refined coconut oil. I know most of us have extra virgin cold pressed coconut oil, because that’s what we were told is the healthiest one to get. But if you don’t want your butter to taste like coconut, then it has to be done.

The recipe suggested using Tovolo ice cube molds, but who wants square shaped butter? Squares, that’s who. I used some star-shaped silicone molds. You can use anything really. You can even just use your leftover earth balance tub from when you run out.
