Avocado Butter is a plant-based butter substitute made with avocados! Spread it onto toast, melt in into mashed potatoes, and slather it onto corn! Easy and vegan.

You guys, I think we hit the lottery. Avocado butter is now a thing. One more time: Avocado. Butter.

Like butter – which makes everything better – and avocado – the undisputed king of vegetables (or fruits?) – get combined together into a perfectly mealt-able and spreadable life-altering healthified concoction.

If your brain is firing away at hyper speed thinking of ALL THE WAYS to use this magical spread, you are in good company. Avocado butter has started taking over my dreams at this point. And I am loving it!

Reasons to love this recipe:

A dairy-free, vegan, paleo, nutrient dense butter substitute!
Made with 6 ingredients all chosen to bring the butter flavor to life.
It’s ready in 10 minutes and keeps in the fridge for a week!

The ingredients you’ll need:

Avocado – our buttery base! Be sure to mash and then measure for accuracy.
Lime juice – keeps the avocado from browning and adds the slight tang found in good butter.
White miso – mimics the cultured flavor in good butter.
Nutritional yeast – adds complexity and a very slight cheesiness.
Coconut oil – gives the butter it’s melt-ability.
Salt – to bring out flavor

How to make this recipe:

Add all the ingredients to a food processor. Process until smooth as butter. Use immediately or transfer to the fridge.

How do you use avocado butter?

The coolest thing about this butter? It is spreadable AND mealt-able. You can:

Spread it onto toast. Top with some salt, or bagel seasoning!
Dallop it onto baked potatoes.
Swirl it into mashed potatoes, in leu of regular butter.
Slather it onto corn.
Toss it with cooked pasta.
You get the idea. Where you would use butter, use avocado butter instead.

Can you bake with it?

This won’t be a one-to-one replacement for butter in baking recipes. It’s flavor isn’t as neutral or all-purpose as regular butter. As you can imagine, it has a mild avocado flavor that tastes amazing when used in the right situation. I recommend using it in savory applications like the ones mentioned above.

How do you store it?

Spoon the butter into a jar or other lidded container and pop it into the fridge. It will keep for 7-10 days.
