Vegan Butter Substitute

July 11, 2015 by Cara

I’m a skeptic when it comes to vegan butter, I will admit. I’ve tried to get behind it but the truth is is that the flavor always leaves me disappointed and let down. Not only is it impossible to slather a slice of gluten free bread with a good butter substitute but baking with it only infuses it with a strange aftertaste at times, not to mention the ingredients kinda scare me. I, however, have never have stopped in my quest for a good vegan butter substitute and thank God that I haven’t because it made me open to this recipe from Miyoko Schinner’s new cookbook, The Homemade Vegan Pantry. If anyone could redeem vegan butter, it’s Miyoko. (Have you tried her nut cheese line?)

 

Homemade Vegan Butter Substitute

Redemption happened, oh yes it did! This vegan butter. I just, I…can food leave you speechless? Yes it truly can and did for me this week. What I love about this recipe:

  • No weird aftertaste
  • Super easy to make
  • Spreads on toast like…well, butter!
  • You can bake with this stuff
  • Has all the great qualities of real butter: Creamy, salty (you can change this to your preference), and melt-in-your-mouth good…all without dairy. 

You won't believe how creamy, melt-in-your-mouth smooth this vegan butter substitute is. It spreads on toast like buttah! (recipe from The Homemade Vegan Pantry by Miyoko Schrinner)

You NEED this cookbook if you or a loved one are dairy and/or egg free, allergic to dairy and/or eggs, are vegan, or are human and love to make food at home. The options of recipes are incredible:

  • Ranch Dressing
  • Oil-Free Eggless Mayo
  • Flaxseed Meringue
  • Almond “Feta” 
  • Oil-Free Melty “Mozzarella”
  • Brilliant Bouillon 
  • Unfish Sticks
  • Peppy Unpepperoni
  • Lemon Curd
  • White Chocolate

I could go on and on about how incredible the recipe index is but you will just have to buy this darn thing and join me in glee.

Vegan Butter Substitute

★★★★★ 4.4 from 32 reviews
  • Author: Miyoko Schinner (reprinted with permission from The Homemade Vegan Pantry)
  • Prep Time: 5 mins
  • Total Time: 5 mins
  • Yield: 1 Pound of Butterless Butter 1x
Print Recipe
Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 c. melted refined coconut oil (not extra virgin coconut oil)
  • 1/2 c. nondairy milk (unsweetened)
  • 1/4 c. canola, grapeseed, or light olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons liquid lecithin (if using granules, you will need 2-4xs the amount)

Instructions

  1. Place all the ingredients in a blender and process at medium speed for about 1 minute.
  2. Pour into container of choice–something made of silicone is great, as it will pop out easily, but any storage container will do (line it with wax paper first for easy removal).
  3. Set it in the refrigerator for a few hours until hard or in the freezer to expedite hardening.

Notes

This glorious butter substitute will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks or many months in the freezer.

Now before you start throwing your breakfast at me over the fact that this recipe calls for liquid lecithin, let me explain. It’s an inexpensive item (I ended up finding it at Whole Foods in the supplement section as well as online for about $7 for a bottle). A little goes a long way, so find some friends who are crazy for a butterless vegan butter substitute and pass the bottle around the neighborhood. It’s definitely not an ingredient that you will use often in other recipes but I GUARANTEE you that you will want to make this recipe over and over and over again that you will find that you use the bottle up in no time. Worth the $7, easy! Do note that if you have a soy allergy then beware! Lecithin is typically derived from soybeans but you can find a lecithin made from sunflowers so be on the lookout.

    Hi Cara,

    I searched for vegan butter substitute and it took me to your page; what I’m actually looking for is a substitute for vegan butter, something plant based but not with saturated fat levels that blow even butter out of the water. Do you have a recipe for anything like that, or am I just getting my hopes up too high? This would be primarily for baking and not for use as a spread.

    Recipe came out great. The taste was def buttery. Now, I’ve had it for about a week in the refrigerator and today it has a blue coating on top. Light blue not a deep blue. I threw it out but wanted to know if this has happened to others before. Thank you!!

    This recipe is AWESOME! Thanks for sharing! For those having difficulty with the oil separating, try measuring the coconut oil at room temperature, where it is very, very soft but not melted completely to liquid. Place in the blender with the rest of the ingredients. VOILA! Enjoy!

    Hi. This is my second attempt at making vegan butter the first one I made was creamy and delicious but it was rock-solid, so no good to me. This was a different recipie. This recipe was spreadable like butter but it had no taste at all, even when i melted it back down and added sone nutritional yeast, which really made no difference in the taste. (Could this have been the coconut oil?) I used Ktc refined Coconut Oil. Once it was hardened it had a buttery hard layer on top but underneath it was thick and curdled. My processer was hot during the blending, could this have caused the curdling?

    oh. my. goodness. dedicated omnivore here, w/ a newly diagnosed dairy allergy. I was ready to give up on butter, I really really was, b/c all of the substitutes taste oily & chemically, especially in baking. I just made this, spread it on toast, and I don’t know that I would have known the difference if I hadn’t known! I added a tsp of apple cider vinegar as LYNDA suggested, used a blend of plant milks that I use for drinking (soy/cashew/coconut/rice, b/c they’re more neutral together), used safflower oil instead of canola, and upped the salt by about 1/4 tsp (b/c I like salted butter for eating). I’m going to try it in my favorite biscuits or a piecrust, and then cream it w/ sugar for cookies – if it holds up half as good as it tastes, you will have given me a miracle. Truly. I’m off to buy the cookbook now, you don’t even know what you’ve done for me. 🙂

      Wow. Thank you for sharing this Jennifer! I eat a mixed diet too. I have a mild dairy allergy. I, too, find commercial vegan margarine to be a great disappointment. It taste nothing like real butter. Also, thank you- I hate canola oil! No offense.
      I should mention that the author of this recipe sells this as a commercial vegan margarine. I have not tried it yet. I believe it’s called Miyoko’s European-style vegan butter. Try looking for it at Whole Foods Market, or at Trader Joe’s. I would love to know how you’re recipes turn out!
      You may not come back here to comment, but if you do- how do you mix up your plant milks? What brands do you use and in what proportions?
      Lastly, I think trying this homemade margarine with Jennifer’s tips, along with the tips on using canned corn milk and vegan butter flavoring extract, could turn out something quite buttery tasting. Maybe?

      • Devon Kay

        March 12, 2018 at 12:40 am

        For the love of goodness, please use refined coconut oil in this recipe. If you use virgin, unrefined coconut oil – it will taste like coconut! Clean, safe refined coconut oils can be found at your local natural grocer or health food store (or online). You are not losing much, or altering much by refining coconut oil. I did not say hydrogenation. I said refinement. A clean process that safely removes the coconutty aroma and taste from the oil.

        • Kathryn Gannon

          January 17, 2019 at 2:42 am

          You can buy virgin, unrefined coconut oil on Amazon. It has no taste at all the make is Biona.

        February 13, 2019 at 8:02 pm

        Hi Devon, I’m back! 🙂 So I’ve been making this for months now and I have thoughts! I did make the corn milk version, and found it a little too sweet for me, but it worked fine – so just a preference I’m guessing. And baking with this is an absolute success – biscuits, brownies, cookies, whatever! There was a slight difference in my biscuits, but I’ve started using it half & half with leaf lard and that did it 🙂 I haven’t tried my aunt’s family sugar cookie recipe, which is my last hurdle, but based on everything else, I think it’s gonna be OK. Frosting & sauteing – this is where I taste a difference: buttercreams taste much “thinner” – I’m experimenting with adding white miso to my butter, to see if that helps w/ the umame and will report back; I stopped using cider vinegar b/c literally every vegan dairy recipe calls for it and I could taste it in everything – may need to try it again in this recipe. In sauteing, the sugars must be released, because there’s definitely more sweetness to this when browned than I remember from real butter; but it’s usually covered by the flavor of whatever I’m cooking, so it’s not really an issue (I saute mushrooms, onions, steaks, etc, and I like them fine).

        And I love the commercial Miyokos Vegan Butter – it has that something the homemade version lacks, but it’s not cheap, so I tend to get it infrequently, and then for non-cooking applications, like on waffles.

        My non-dairy drinking milk has evolved and it’s pretty simple – 2.5 cups unsweetened plain Silk soy milk to 1.5 cups unsweetened plain Silk coconut milk (Silk is what’s easily available to me). The texture is close to what I remember 2% milk being, and the flavor is neutral enough that I drink it straight, as well as on cereal, in baking, etc. For coffee creamer I use equal parts canned coconut milk (full fat!) and oat milk or nut blend milk (nut milks taste too bitter to me for drinking, but great in coffee!)

    Can we add a natural butter extract to this recipe to give it the butter flavor?

    • Cara

      November 29, 2017 at 12:43 pm

      Probably! Not sure if the extract has actual dairy in it though so just be mindful if you are allergic. If you are just looking for a butter sub, then I say do it.

I live in Guatemala and the only coconut oil I can get here is what I buy at the public market, in a glass bottle with no label or processing information. I know it comes pretty much straight from the coconut so I’m guessing it’s not refined, would that work or what would be the difference?

    HI, this sounds ideal. Looking to make some and was hoping you could clarify that the ‘c’ in the recipe (½ c. nondairy milk etc.) is for ‘cup’?? And if so, is there a numerical equivalent in grams?
    Hope you can help,
    Rob

    • Cara

      September 9, 2017 at 7:52 am

      c does mean cup, yes. You can look up the equivalent for grams on the internet, not sure what it would be as our measuring system is different.

    • Weronika

      September 11, 2017 at 7:20 am

      Liquid cup would be working in mililiters not grams. Grams would depend on the weight on the milk and it can vary from one kind of milk to another.

    • Stephy

      November 16, 2017 at 6:57 am

      2 and 1/4 cups (total volume of liquids before the lecithin) is about 532 milliliters, so it’s a ratio of 1 teaspoon (15 ml) to 261 ml, which you could reasonably round down easily to 250 ml. As long as your proportions are accurate, you’re fine.

      I made it using sweetcorn milk and it tastes like ‘Gold’ butter that used to be sold in the uk. Really yummy. Just puree a can of sweetcorn and filter out the pulp. You can add a bit of non dairy milk if needed to get the correct amount required. This is the best butter recipe I’ve made.

        I tried the corn milk- but my blendtec blender pretty much made liquid corn, so my buttah had a veerrrry corny taste. Next time, I’ll use just a 1/4 of the corn and all the can juice. But I loved this suggestion because it really puts the flavor in the right direction.
        I also used 6 tsp of lecithin granules (like an different commenter posted) but when I remake I’ll be trying it with 5.

    I did more research and found out that this is not a healthy recipe because it requires REFINED coconut oil…
    “Refined Coconut Oil
    Refined coconut oil refers to coconut oil that has been bleached, and deodorized. The oil is derived from dried coconut meat known as copra. Traditional Tropics notes that oil obtained from copra has to be purified with bleaching clays because contaminants arise during the drying process. High heat is then used to deodorize the coconut oil to remove its distinctive odor and flavor. Sodium hydroxide is often added to prolong its shelf life. To obtain the most oil, some brands use chemical solvents to extract as much oil as possible from the meat. They may partially hydrogenate the oil, too, which means it will contain trans-fats. MayoClinic advises against the consumption of trans-fats, noting they raise bad cholesterol levels while lowering good cholesterol levels.”

    bummer. so this recipe is not something I will be using.

      • Barry W.

        February 1, 2017 at 1:02 pm

        It’s simple.

        Use cold pressed coconut oil. Completely unrefined and and unheated.

        I grew up in Fiji and coconut oil and it’s production is well known and part of life there.

        As usual the reason is economics/money. It’s cheaper to make and ship coconut oil that is made with a process of extraction and refining by heating. Industrial ovens and long heat times affect the natural nutrients in the coconut. You can tell this oil by its gold color and very strong coconut smell. But it is stable to ship and store for long periods.

        Conversely cold pressed coconut oil, uses like its name suggests uses presses to extract oil from coconut flesh. The process is done cold as ANY heat causes oxidation, which then can change the unsaturated fatty acids into unnatural trans- fat configurations. Properly cold press coconut oil maintains a pure natural nutrient profile. It can be identified by its very pure almost water color in liquid form and at lower temperatures it will be a white solid in the jar. It is thus more expensive to make and ship.

        Unfortunately some unscrupulous coconut oil companies try to lower the water content in their final cold oil process by slight heating as it is a cheaper way to refine the oil i.e. a mix of cold pressed and heat process. This still looks like cold pressed but the nutrient and health profile of the coconut oil is damaged. The only way to tell is to buy a cold pressed coconut oil from a company of good repute.

        But the basic rule of thumb I use is my nose. If the oild has no smell and clear or white, and when rubbed on my finger still has no smell, its good cold pressed coconut oil. If it smells of coconut (and even though coconut is a yummy smell)… ..then it is a heat coconut oil process, and is not the coconut oil to use.

      This comment comes much too late, I know- but I think the usual sub for coconut fat and oil is palm oil. They behave in a similar way. It’s not a popular choice these days, with the ethical concerns surrounding it’s commercial production. Also, you need to buy the right product. I am not sure that typical palm shortening, used for greasing, would work.

        Mix it during hardening in fridge. Especialy in moment when it really start to harden – in this moment coconut oil comes to the surface and starts to be solid. You have to catch moment BEFORE it. If you mix it 3-5x, than coconut will stay dissolved in the mixture.

    What brand of coconut oil did you use? This question is for the author and whoever else this worked out for. I used the Better Body Foods brand and it tasted horrible. On the jar it says it has a no chemical taste but to me it tasted what blood, mercury, and metal probably tastes like.

      I LOVE this recipe, I made cookies with it, since i went want alternatives, this was the best i keep mine i the Freezer, then put one i the Fridge, i keep in i an airtight container though…or it separates…
      DO NOT LEAVE IT OUT, its NOT that kind of butter 🙂
      I used Spectrum ORGANIC coconut oil….its what i bought at our Local Sprouts Market,
      They DID NOT have liquid Lecithin, at WHOLE FOODS, where i live.
      I used “SOLGAR” LETCITHIN SOY granules,,from WHOLE FOODS instead, but i used 6 by accident and it turned put fine 🙂
      so far my recipe was fine i put it in my VITAMIX, and let it rip…about 2 minutes…
      It turned out fine, i baked cookies with this and they turned out Great,
      Im so Grateful i found this , and glad i tried it…

      Meat wasn’t hard to give up, but dairy has been a challenge, both for my love of all things cheesy, as well as finding substitutes. I just made my first batch of this butter, and based on how it tasted coming out of the blender, it’s going to be a hit! I used a silicone small muffin pan, so I can send some to my daughter. And another suggestion, it helps to dunk your measuring spoon in the oil before dealing with the liquid lecithin. It slides right out of the spoon!

    One word of caution though – it doesn’t keep for long out of the fridge, about a week, and when it goes off smells and tastes like Danish Blue cheese! I make it with oat milk so not sure if that makes a difference.

    I’ll be keeping it in the fridge from now on anyway!

    If lecithin granules are used as an ingredient for the butter, how much are needed? The recipe says to use 2 to 4 times the amount of liquid lecithin. That could be anywhere from 4 to 8 teaspoons of lecithin granules. How will I know whether more or less granules are considered enough?

    I look forward to hearing from you or anyone else.

        I didn’t realize it was a thing either until I started looking into buying some online. Coconut oil melts at 76 degrees, but the more processed hydrogenated version melts at 92 degrees. I wasn’t sure if one should be used over the other since regular butter melts in the 90s or maybe it doesn’t even matter once it’s mixed with the other ingredients.

    I was really excited about finding this recipe, then did a little digging and found that soy lecithin is very bad for you. (here’s a good reference: http://truthnhealth.com/2012/07/what-heals-and-what-hurts-the-difference-between-lecithin-and-soy-lecithin/)
    In fact it seems the other lecithin’s are potentially also produced using the same refining process as soy (using hexane), making them almost certainly toxic.
    Is there something that can be substituted for the lecithin? Has anyone found a sunflower or grapeseed lecithin that isn’t produced using hexane?

    • Steve

      November 10, 2015 at 6:38 am

      Found a supplier of sunflower lecithin that states that they don’t use hexane (or other toxic chemicals) in their refining process.

      Researched this a little bit online. Egg yolk is suggested for a natural lecithin substance in recipes which I believe would also work beautifully in this recipe. Even egg substitutes could be used but I will incorporate egg yolk for the future into this recipe.

      I will also try to add different flavors to the butter such as fruits, or even pureed veggies, sprouts, herbs. This is a great basic recipe. The possibilities are endless.

          I just made this for the first time by following a basic Hollandaise recipe (based on some shaky math and that Hollandaise recipe, you need about 6 yolks for the amount of oil/liquid listed above). I think it’s going to turn out great! Fingers crossed!

      Hi Nina! If you don’t use the coconut oil, you unfortunately will not get the same firmness as the recipe suggests (or what a normal stick of butter looks like).

          It’s an emulsifier and allows the oils and milk to blend perfectly together. It also adds a nice yellow hue to the buttah. You can try without it, yes, but because this is not my recipe, I cannot guarantee that it will be just as good 🙂

    I have made this buttah many times, in fact I made a fresh batch just last week. Because I live alone I don’t use a lot at a time. A long time ago I discovered that the buttah will actually mold over time(weeks) so I started putting it in several small containers and freezing all but one. It freezes beautifully and for me it means making a full batch and not having it go off. I have also found that unsweetened soy milk is the creamiest. THe original recipe I found soured the soy milk with a bit of apple cider vinegar (which I still do) as it gives the buttah a cultured milk flavour. Cheers,

      LYNDA, I hope you will look up the percentage of soy crops that are GMO in this country. Just in case you aren’t aware, or haven’t heard of this, it means “genetically modified organism”. You ought to study up on this. You might just HAVE to go all organic, when you find out! Organics are in many grocery stores. Their labeled as such, with a little circle in the front of the label, that says “USDA Organic. Even Walmart and Target are putting many of these products on their shelves, because people want them so much, and don’t want to eat pesticides, herbicides, and all the other chemicals that are sprayed on all crops.
