Making vegan butter at home is a simple process that only requires a few ingredients and some basic kitchen equipment. Here is a basic recipe for making vegan butter.
Ingredients:
1 cup refined coconut oil
1/2 cup avocado oil or olive oil
1/4 cup soy milk or other plant-based milk
1/4 cup aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas)
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp Nutritional Yeast
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric (optional for color)
Equipment:
A stand mixer or hand mixer
A container
Instructions:
Soften the coconut oil and canola oil by leaving them at room temperature for a few hours or by gently heating them in a microwave or saucepan.
In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, mix together the coconut oil, avocado oil, soy milk, aquafaba, ACV, nutritional yeast, salt, and turmeric, until well combined and emulsified.
Pour the mixture into a container and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate the vegan butter for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once the vegan butter is firm, enjoy! You can store it in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.
You can play around with the ingredients and the quantities to suit your taste. Some people add nutritional yeast for the cheesy flavor, lemon juice for a tangy flavor, or herbs and spices for added flavor. This vegan butter can be used in baking or cooking as you would use regular butter, and it can also be used as a spread on toast or bagels.
