Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Avocado oil
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Lecithin granules (soy or sunflower)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Start by melting the coconut oil if it's solid. You can melt it gently in the microwave or on the stove over low heat. Ensure it’s liquid but not too hot.
In a blender or food processor, combine the melted coconut oil, avocado oil, almond milk, lecithin granules, apple cider vinegar, turmeric powder, and salt.
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the ingredients are fully emulsified and the texture is smooth and creamy.
Taste the mixture and adjust salt if needed. The turmeric adds a slight buttery color, but you can optionally omit it if you prefer a lighter hue.
Pour the mixture into a small airtight container or silicone mold. Smooth out the top with the back of a spoon if necessary.
Place the container in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until the butter has fully solidified.
Once solidified, 'Better Than Butter 2' is ready to use. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
