HomeMade Coconut Butter
I just made some coconut butter. Andrea Lang posted something on Facebook the other day and I realized I hadn't made any for quite a while.
Homemade Coconut Butter tastes creamy and sweet and good. Inexpensive to make, about $3.50 a 8oz bag.
1 8oz bag of organic, unsweetened coconut flakes made about 1 and 1/2 cups.
Just put the whole bag in food processor using the metal blade and go for about 10 min - scraping the sides every few min. And that's it.
**this will not work with the lower reduced-fat coconut flakes - I learned that the hard way -LOL**
No need to refrigerate, keep in a jar in the cupboard.
In the summer months it stays soft, but in the winter months after sitting for a while It will get a bit hard so just take out what you want to use and microwave for a few seconds.
Uses of Coconut Butter;
mix with some cinnamon and stevia for a sweeter taste.
on toast
top pancakes or french toast instead of syrup or Natures Hollow preserves
on our healthy minute muffins
frosting for healthy homemade cupcakes
drizzle on top of some berries for desert.
drizzle on top of homemade cookies
The imagination is endless...
