I’m so excited about this recipe!!!! This deliciously creamy, smooth, rich, and healthy Vegan butter is the ultimate vegan alternative to traditional butter! Whether you are Vegan, vegetarian, or none of the above, I’m sure this creamy butter will titillate your senses.

This butter has a perfect consistency, spreads well, melts nicely on toast, goes perfectly with rice, dahls, buckwheat, and pasta. It is great for baking, and the list goes on… The most challenging part for me is to not overdo it 😆.

The addition of creamy vegan butter will elevate virtually any simple dish right away, adding creaminess and a multidimensional taste.

Vegan Butter Anatomy

Cashews are the best base component for vegan butter because of their neutral taste, creamy consistency, and low protein content. Nuts and seeds with high protein content have a higher probability of curdling when in contact with acid. That would limit the variety of ways you can use this butter. Cashews have low protein content and behave well in acidic environments. Therefore, you can incorporate this butter in a wide variety of dishes.

With cashews as one of the base ingredients, this vegan butter can be used just like traditional butter. With this said, I wouldn’t recommend it for grilling, roasting, or broiling processes.

Refined coconut oil (or filtered coconut oil) is a necessary ingredient for this butter because of its neutral flavor and ability to remain solid at room temperature.

I’m using avocado oil for the second oil in this recipe because of its rich buttery flavor. But you can use grapeseed oil or olive oil if you wish. If you like to go with an olive oil be sure not to use extra virgin variety because it can add bitterness to your butter.

Salt. Because salt and oil do not mix it is important to incorporate all of the ingredients together without the oils first. That will ensure even distribution of salt throughout the mixture.

Made with wholesome positive pranic ingredients, this Vegan butter seems to me to be the best vegan alternative.

This deliciously creamy, smooth, rich, and healthy Vegan butter is an ultimate vegan alternative to traditional butter! Whether you're are Vegan, vegetarian or nun of the above I'm sure this creamy butter will titillate your senses.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 20
Total Calories: 71kcal
Ingredients
  • 1 cup cashew (raw, soaked)
  • 0.5 cup water (filtered)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt (or sea salt)
  • 1 cup coconut oil* (melted, Triple filtered)
  • 4 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/8 tsp turmeric powder
Instructions
  • Add soaked cashews**, salt, turmeric powder, lemon juice, and water to a blender and blend until absolutely smooth.
  • Add melted refined coconut oil and avocado oil and blend it on high speed for at least a couple more minutes. The mixture should be well-whipped, light and airy.
  • Transfer the vegan butter mixture into a glass container or a silicone mold, and place it in a fridge for several hours or overnight. The dimensions of your container will determine how long it will take for your butter to solidify.
  • Slice your vegan butter into bars. Keep some butter in the fridge, and the rest should go in the freezer. In the fridge, your butter will last for about four days. For long term storage, you should keep it in the freezer and take out as needed.
  • You can use your Vegan butter just like you would use regular butter. I would not recommend it for frying, grilling, and broiling.
Notes
*If you want to avoid coconut flavor in your butter use refined or Triple filtered coconut oil.
**Soak cashews overnight or at least for 6 hours; Strain the water and rinse thoroughly.

    This is by far THE Best vegan butter I’ve tried! My mom made it the other day and shared it with me. You can’t even compare it to the store bought vegan butters, it’s way better! Thank you, Julia, for sharing this recipe! I’m looking forward to making it myself as well.

    So easy! Thanks for sharing. Question: I note that you put turmeric powder in the recipe. Is that just for color, or also the health benefits? If for health, should I some pepper to help with the absorption of the turmeric?

    • Julia Delaney says:

      Thank you 🙂 No need for pepper in the butter. Truthfully, in this recipe, turmeric is just for color. Nevertheless, it is still beneficial for your health. You can add pepper in the dishes you make with this butter :)🙏

    I really want to run to the kitchen to make this butter right now, but I do not have avocado oil. (only vegetable and olive oil) :(. Would any of them work?

    • Julia Delaney says:

      Sure thing 😀👍

    I looooove this recipe! I’ve added a bit of Paprika and it’s even more delicious then. I’ve shared it with all my vegan and non-vegan friends. I’ve also baked Croissants by replacing the dairy butter with this vegan butter, and it came out great. So it works for all your baking needs as well.
