How To – Roasted Coconut Butter

If you love nut butters, I promise you will love roasted coconut butter. You can use/eat it in all the same ways as your regular ol’ nut butters. It goes great on toast, with your smoothies, or my favorite way to eat all nut butters – straight out the jar.

I’m letting you know this because I’ve only recently become obsessed with coconut butter. In fact, I didn’t even know coconut butter was a thing until a year ago. I heard about the Eating Evolved coconut butter cups and immediately ran to Whole Foods to purchase/try them. They were amazing, but also a lot of money to spend on 2 coconut butter cups that lasted me less than 60 seconds. I knew I had to try making my own.

As with all my cooking, I love that this recipe uses minimal ingredients (just unsweetened coconut flakes!), takes less than 30 minutes to make, and is easy to clean up.

You start by toasting the coconut flakes at 350F for 10-15 minutes. The time will vary depending on your type of oven, so make sure to keep an eye on them. Speaking from experience, the coconut flakes can go from perfectly golden brown to burnt reeaaallll quick.

Once you get the coconut flakes perfectly golden brown, I let them cool for 5-10 minutes so they are easier to handle. I then blend them up in my Vitamix, which can take anywhere from 5-10 minutes. Make sure to stop every couple of minutes to scrape down the sides. Your roasted coconut butter will be ready for eating when you achieve a silky smooth texture. That’s it!

The two easy steps to make your own roasted coconut butter at home. You can use this versatile coconut butter on everything from toasts, to smoothies, to enjoying straight from the jar!

Ingredients

• 24 oz unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350F and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
• Spread the coconut flakes evenly between the two baking trays (single layer) and cook for 10-15 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye while baking because the coconut flakes can easily burn.
• Once coconut flakes are a golden brown, remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
• While still warm, add roasted coconut flakes to your Vitamix or food processor. Blend for 8 - 10 minutes, or until smooth.
• Put in an airtight container and store at room temperature.

Notes

Coconut butter is like coconut oil, where it is liquid when warm and solid at room temperature. Depending on the season, my coconut butter will either be solid or liquid in my pantry. You can always reheat in the microwave if your coconut butter turns solid.
