Of course, that’s because all the hard work has been done by others who figured out all the science, like Mattie at www.veganbaking.net. All that’s left to do is create your own variation to make the butter you like best. When I set out to make my vegan butter recipe, I knew two things: (1) it would be palm-oil free and (2) it would be soy-free. I ordered huge ice trays and bought organic raw coconut oil and raw sunflower lecithin. I already had guar gum and xanthan gum because I use them in gluten-free baking. The only question was which milk to use. I don’t use soy milk because I wanted my butter to be soy-free. I normally drink unsweetened, 40 calorie almond milk but it’s a thin milk. I ended up making 2 batches of butter: one with the almond milk and one with a cashew puree. The results were close – they both looked like butter, they both tasted like butter, but the almond milk butter was oilier and had a looser texture. The cashew-based butter was creamier and had a more solid texture. That vegan butter recipe was the winner! Of course, if you don’t need your vegan butter recipe to be soy-free and/or you need it to be nut-free and seed-free, you could use soy milk and soy lecithin in the recipe instead of the cashews and sunflower lecithin. This vegan butter recipe is easy, creamy, and delicious without any palm oil! It’s such an easy thing to do that means so much for the animals. Because they need their home a whole lot more than we need butter. Read More
