Homemade Coconut Butter gets a wonderful boost in flavor by using toasted coconut flakes!
Making your own toasted coconut butter is surprisingly easy! All you need is a food processor (or Vitamix) and one ingredient: coconut flakes! Coconut butter can be used in many Keto fat bomb recipes, or even eaten straight out of the jar!
Coconuts have some amazing health benefits, you can read about them here .
How to Make Your Own Toasted Coconut Butter
Ingredients
3 cups Unsweetened Flaked Coconut (shredded coconut will also work)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Add 3 cups of the coconut to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a Silpat and toast in the oven for 6-8 minutes until golden, be careful not to burn it.
Remove from the oven, then add the toasted coconut into the bowl of a clean and dry food processor. Pulse for several minutes, then stop and scrape down the sides. Continue pulsing until you get a creamy consistency.
It could take 8-10 minutes or longer, depending on your food processor.
Store at room temperature in a glass jar up for at least a month (mine never lasts that long!)

Quick question…besides eating it straight from the jar, what do you do with this coconut butter? Looks yummy by itself, but I wonder what other things it could be used for. Thanks!
Hi Lynn,
You can use it in most fat bomb recipes. Instead of coconut oil or butter, sub with coconut butter. Here are some more ideas, and while they are not all Keto, there are plenty of uses you might like! https://paleoflourish.com/12-coconut-butter-recipes/ I hope that helps!
