Homemade Hemp Butter
We have been trying to make more of our favorite food items at home rather than buying processed foods that are well processed and expensive. I have been trying to make a good replacement for vegan butter and although I’m not totally there yet I have found a pretty good replacement. This spread isn’t your nutty spread like peanut butter or almond butter but much more of a savory buttery spread that is perfect on pasta, steamed veggies or toast.
Makes approx 1.5 cups
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 cup shelled hemp seeds
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon celtic sea salt
In a blender place the coconut oil, hemp seeds, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and sea salt. Process on high for 30 seconds and then slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Process until smooth. Store in the refrigerator. This will thicken up as it cools down in the refrigerator.
