Before I lost 125 pounds, I loved traditional butter. Now that I enjoy a plant-based diet, I swapped regular butter for dairy-free butter and never looked back.
Before I created this dairy-free buttery spread I would eat store-bought vegan butters like Earth Balance and Miyoko’s vegan butter. I enjoy commercial vegan margarine but don’t enjoy the cost. This vegan butter recipe is a good option for you if you feel the same way.
This vegan butter is fairly solid, so if you are looking for a more spreadable vegan butter be sure to allow it to set at room temperature for a few minutes before using.

📃Ingredients and Substitutions
The printable recipe card includes the main ingredients, quantities, step-by-step instructions, and daily values below.
- Refined Coconut Oil – don’t worry; it won’t have a coconut flavor if you don’t use unrefined coconut oil.
- Soy Milk – you can use unsweetened soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, or whatever plant milk you prefer.
- Neutral Oil – you can use canola oil, sunflower oil, avocado oil, vegetable oil, or safflower oil. I do not recommend using olive oil since it is so flavorful. You want the oil to have a light taste.
- Vinegar – I prefer apple cider vinegar, but you can also use lemon juice.
- Turmeric – just a tiny bit to give the butter a pale yellow color.
- Salt – I recommend using Maldon salt for the best flavor.
