Making your own coconut butter is a lot cheaper than buying it from the store. It's also super easy! For instance, all it takes to make this Roasted Coconut Butter is placing the ingredients in a food process and letting it blend!
This unsweetened Roasted Coconut Butter recipe is composed of shredded coconut, macadamia nuts, Brazil nuts and a pinch of salt. The end product is silky, smooth and flavorful. Of course, the nut add-ins are optional, but highly recommended.
The Easiest Paleo Recipe
One of the best things about this recipe is that you can throw everything in your food processor and let it do all of the work. The ingredients don't even need to be measured precisely. Yes, roasting coconut butter takes a little extra time. But overall, coconut butter is one of the easiest Paleo recipes to make.
How To Make Roasted Coconut Butter
Making Roasted Coconut Butter is super simple.
First, roast shredded coconut in the oven for 5-10 minutes until it is golden brown in color.
Slightly cool the roasted coconut. Next, add all ingredients to your food processor or high powdered blender.
Lastly, blend until the mixture is a smooth, silky liquid. Store in a glass jar.
How To Use Coconut Butter
Coconut butter is excellent as a Whole 30 approved snack. I've often eaten it straight from the jar. It is filling on it's own, but can also be paired with many sides or used in recipes.
My favorite ways to consume coconut butter are: as a smoothie topping, on ice cream (it becomes a hard shell), drizzled on muffins and pancakes or simply eaten straight from the jar. Coconut butter is naturally sweet and is a great source of fat.

How to add a little sweetness to this? It tastes pretty flat and grainy... What do you think of adding honey or monkfruit or erythritol?
Katie says
Hi! If it's grainy then you may not have blended the coconut butter enough. Any sweetener should work to sweeten this recipe.
