Ingredients
1 cup Refined Coconut Oil (240ml) Melted*
2 Tbsp Canola Oil See Notes*
⅓ cup Unsweetened Soy Milk or Almond Milk (80ml)
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp Nutritional Yeast
1 Small Pinch Turmeric
½ tsp Salt

Instructions
1. Add melted refined coconut oil to the blender jug along with the canola oil.
2. Add the apple cider vinegar to the unsweetened soy or almond milk and stir in so that it
curdles into buttermilk. Add the buttermilk to the blender.
3. Add the nutritional yeast, small pinch of turmeric and salt.
4. Blend very well until smooth.
5. Pour out into a butter dish and refrigerate until set.
6. Remove from the fridge to thaw for a few minutes if using on fresh bread or creaming with
sugar for baking.

Notes
1. The coconut oil must be refined coconut oil and not extra virgin coconut oil.
2. Avocado oil is a great option to use instead of canola oil. Olive oil also works but bear in mind
that high speed blending can cause olive oil to become bitter. If using olive oil, add it in at the
end and mix in without blending.
3. Storing: This lasts up to 2 weeks in the fridge. If you need it to last longer, freeze the excess
and only keep what you will use within 2-weeks in your fridge.
4. Make it soft and spreadable: This butter recipe above comes out a lot like a traditional butter
in that it's very firm straight out the fridge and needs to soften first before it becomes
spreadable (unless you're spreading on toast, in which case you're good to go!). This makes it
great for the purposes that a regular butter is good for. However, if you want to use it mostly
as a spread (that also works for baking and frying) and want it soft and spreadable straight
 out of the fridge then adapt the first two ingredients of the recipe as follows: ½ cup (120ml)
Refined Coconut Oil and ½ cup (120ml) Canola Oil or Avocado Oil (OR ¼ cup (60ml) of each
canola oil and avocado oil) and then follow the rest of the recipe exactly as it is. This results
in a soft, spreadable vegan butter that still works great for baking and frying. Thanks to one
of our readers for experimenting with the recipe and coming up with this adaptation.
5. This recipe makes one 9.7 ounce block (275g) of vegan butter.
