Miyoko’s butter recipe is a plant-based spread that rivals traditional dairy butter in taste and texture. This homemade vegan butter uses simple ingredients like coconut oil, nuts, and plant-based milk to create a rich, spreadable condiment perfect for toast, baking, and cooking.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings (1 pound) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Refined Coconut Oil
  • 1 cup Raw Cashews
  • ½ cup Unsweetened Plant-Based Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
  • ¼ teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Instructions

  1. Soak one cup of raw cashews in boiling water for four minutes, then drain completely and rinse with cool water.
  2. Add the soaked cashews and half cup of unsweetened plant-based milk to a high-powered blender.
  3. Blend on high speed for three to four minutes until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.
  4. Add one cup of refined coconut oil (melted if it’s solid) to the cashew cream in the blender.
  5. Pulse the blender ten to fifteen times to partially combine the ingredients before full blending.
  6. Blend on high speed for one minute until the mixture becomes uniformly colored and completely smooth.
  7. Pause and scrape down the blender walls to ensure all ingredients incorporate evenly into the Miyoko’s butter recipe.
  8. Add one teaspoon of sea salt, one tablespoon of nutritional yeast, one-quarter teaspoon of turmeric powder, and one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
  9. Blend on medium-high speed for thirty seconds to fully incorporate all seasonings into Miyoko’s butter recipe.
  10. Taste the mixture and adjust salt or lemon juice to preference before final blending.
  11. Blend one final time for ten seconds to ensure perfect homogeneity throughout the Miyoko’s butter recipe.
  12. Pour the finished Miyoko’s butter recipe into a glass container with a tight-fitting lid.
  13. Refrigerate for at least two hours until the mixture solidifies to a spreadable butter consistency.

Notes

Use a high-powered blender with at least 1000 watts for optimal cashew cream texture in Miyoko’s butter recipe. Keep all ingredients at room temperature before blending the Miyoko’s butter recipe, as cold components resist proper emulsification and create graininess. Melt the coconut oil gently over warm water rather than direct heat to preserve the integrity of your Miyoko’s butter recipe and prevent overheating.
