How to Make Homemade Coconut Butter
Learn how to make homemade coconut butter! A creamy, velvety spread that's delicious on toast, sweet potatoes, and much more.
Servings 1 small jar
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened flaked coconut or shredded coconut (either will work)
- seeds from 1 vanilla bean
- Optional for a creamy consistency: 1-2 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Place coconut shreds/flakes in a food processor and process, scraping down the sides every 2-3 minutes. This should take about 20 minutes to reach the desired consistency. If you'd like a more creamy consistency, feel free to add in a teaspoon or two of coconut oil and process until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in vanilla bean once coconut butter is completely smooth then transfer to a mason jar or an airtight container and store at room temperature.
- Once ready to use again, you can spoon the amount you'd like to use into a microwave safe bowl and reheat for 15-30 seconds. Another option is to reheat over the stove in a saucepan.
