Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 cup sunflower oil
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup pecans (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or hand mixer
  • Measuring cups
  • Storage Container

Method
 

  1. Begin by melting the coconut oil. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop over low heat. Make sure it’s fully melted before moving on.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, sunflower oil, almond milk, and maple syrup. If you’re using pecans and cinnamon, add them now.
  3. Using a whisk or hand mixer, blend the mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated and the texture is creamy. You want to ensure there are no lumps.
  4. Give your Maple Plant Butter a taste. If you desire more sweetness, feel free to add an extra splash of maple syrup. For more depth, consider adding a pinch more cinnamon.
  5. Scoop the mixture into a storage container. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even finish.
  6. Place the container in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to allow the butter to firm up.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
  • For longer storage, freeze in small portions.
  • Try adding vanilla extract for a sweeter flavor.
  • Incorporate nutmeg for a spiced twist.
  • Use cacao powder for a chocolate version!
