Question:

What’s the best plant milk to use to make butter and do you have to add oil to it?

— Toni Crawford

Answer:

So I've made, uh, a couple different plant-based, um, butters. There's one that's in our plant-based pro course that I, I came up with and there's one in the plants plus course. And I think that we're using, um, almond milk in that and we use coconut oil as well in that one as, um, but I'd have to look up the recipe for it. So, um, there are a lot of different ways to be able to make, um, you know, plant-based butter. Um, that one with the coconut oil is one that I've done before. Um, I do, it is a little bit of a laborious process, so I do have to say I usually buy mine instead and I buy it depending on what the use case scenario is. Like I'll buy one kind if I'm doing something like, you know, putting it on a bagel or I'll buy a completely different kind if I'm using it for baking just because it has a different consistency to it as well too. Um, but you can do a quick search up in our search. Um, and you'll probably find the plant-based butter if you're on the plant-based pro course.
