A visitor found helpful a review for How to Make Vegan Butter - Regular Vegan Butter - Coconut Oil Base

Thanks for the recipe! I've been trying to stray away from things like Earth Balance because of the palm oil scenario and this gives me hope. Would I be able to use unrefined coconut oil instead of refined? Or would it give the butter too much of a coconut-y taste?

The last Friday of September is Vegan Baking Day. A day to spread vegan baking by sharing tasty eats with your community!
