You can find coconut butter at most health food stores, but it’s a breeze to whip up at home. Just like other nut butters, this version is high in fat and great for curbing hunger cravings. Keep it handy and enjoy with your favorite snacks, baked goods, or as a sweet treat all on its own!

Making It Simple And Healthy

Naturally sweet, this recipe is a great alternative to most sugar-packed spreads and dips. It adds a subtle sweetness to just about anything you pair it with and has a smooth consistency for easy spreading. The best part is, it comes with a healthy heaping of coconut oil for extra nutrition.

Here’s How To Get Creative With It

The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to coconut butter. We love it as a creamy filling for dessert bars, a dip for our favorite fruits, or as a white chocolate substitute for truffles and fat bombs.

Helpful Tips To Get Started:

• Make the most of your ingredients. When blending, stop every so often to scrape the sides with a rubber spatula. This will ensure every ounce of shredded coconut is utilized.
• Maintain the right consistency. Coconut butter often solidifies at room temperature in cooler weather. To soften it, set it in a bowl of hot water for 10 minutes before using.
• Bump up the taste. Try adding a bit of raw honey or monk fruit sweetener to make it extra sweeter.
• Store it in an airtight jar. Leave your coconut butter in a dry spot for up to two months without refrigeration.
