#1 — Stir Into Hot Beverages
Coconut butter enhances many hot drinks, such as coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Add a teaspoon to your empty mug and pour a hot beverage over the top to melt the butter. Stir to distribute evenly. This adds extra flavor and makes the beverage creamy, without using dairy.
Some folks give up their coffee creamer once they start using coconut butter in their morning cup of Joe!
#2 — Add To Smoothies
Coconut butter is a great way to add healthy fat to smoothies! It mixes better than coconut oil, which tends to clump easily. Add a tablespoon to any smoothie (like this Spirulina Smoothie) or shake before blending.
This will add extra thickness and enhance the creamy consistency.
#3 — Drizzle Over Fruit
Melted coconut butter tastes great drizzled over a bowl of fruit, especially berries. Or, if you’re not the drizzling type, melt a little in a small bowl and use as a dip.
#4 — Add Creaminess To Savory Dishes
Add 1/8 cup of coconut butter to a pint of warm pasta sauce to create a creamy texture without the need for dairy. Whisk to distribute evenly.
The subtle coconut flavor also lends itself to Southwestern cuisine and adds dairy-free creaminess to dishes like One-Pot Southwestern Beans & Rice.
#5 — Use As A Spread
Coconut butter is a delicious spread for all manner of baked goods. Use it just like butter!
Smear a little over a warm muffin, toast, or slice of banana bread or Christmas-Spiced Orange Bread. It’s almost like frosting!
If you need to avoid nuts for any reason, you can use coconut butter as a replacement for peanut and other nut butters. You can even make a Coconut Butter & Jam Sandwich!
#6 — Add To Oatmeal Or Porridge
Increase healthy fats at breakfast by stirring a spoonful of coconut butter into warm oats or porridge. Why not try it in this Coconut Quinoa Porridge?
#7 — Make Dairy-Free Fudge
The texture and flavor of coconut butter enables you to make fudge without dairy.
It’s quick and easy too; just melt, mix, and refrigerate. Try our Dairy-Free Coconut Butter and Walnut Fudge.
#8 — Use For Raw Treats
Wildly Organic’s Coconut Butter shines in these Raw Coconut Butter Berry Bites.
They are sweet, but only contain a small amount of honey or maple syrup, which makes them a healthy option when cravings arise.
Also, try replacing the coconut oil with coconut butter in these Coconut-Mango No-Bake Treats. Both of these raw treats are perfect when you need a quick snack or treat for school lunches!
#9 — Drizzle On Pancakes Or Waffles
No one’s saying you can’t use syrup… But you can add extra richness (and healthy fat!) to your pancakes and waffles with a drizzle or dollop of Wildly Organic Coconut Butter.
#10 — Give Yourself A Facial & Lip Treatment
This may be the most unusual recommendation for coconut butter yet!
To gently exfoliate and cleanse, apply a teaspoon or two to your face in circular motions. Be sure to apply a little to your lips as well. Wash off with warm water and a washcloth.
