Homemade Toasted Coconut Butter (low-carb, keto, paleo)

Have you ever tried toasted coconut butter? It's delicious! You'll only need coconut butter, vanilla (or cinnamon) and a pinch of salt. No sweeteners needed! Toasting coconut enhances the favor and adds a subtle sweetness to this deliciously creamy butter.

Coconut butter, also known as coconut manna or coconut meat, is perfect for making this toasted coconut butter. You can either buy ready-made or make your own coconut butter as long as you have a strong food processor or a blender.

    This is great! I wouldn't typically eat coconut butter straight from the jar, but with this, I do. I used it in some matcha biscotti the other day, and highly recommend that flavor combination! Just go heavy on the matcha, as the toasted coconut can overpower it easily.

      That sounds like the perfect combo! I agree, toasted coconut butter is so much more flavourful and has the perfect sweetness for me.
