- Yield: 1 cup 1x
Ingredients
- 3/4 Cup coconut butter – here’s how you can make it yourself
- 1/4 Cup coconut oil
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Powder
- 3 Tablespoons maple syrup or raw honey (Babies under the age of one should not eat raw honey. When I make these for my 8 month old I leave out the sweetener. 1/8 teaspoon of liquid stevia can be used in place of the honey/maple syrup).
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together in a food processor or mixer.
- Use a spatula to scrape all the coconut butter off the sides of the bowl.
- Scoop mixture into a ziplock bag.
- Coconut butter and coconut oil will begin to melt at 76°. If your coconut butter mixture is melted you’ll need to refrigerate it for 5-10 minutes so it firms up.
- Cut the tip off one of the corners of the bag and squeeze button size drops of coconut butter onto a parchment or wax paper lined cookie sheet.
- Once you’ve used up all the coconut butter you’ll want to put the buttons into the refrigerator to set up.
- After they’ve hardened you’ll want to remove them from the cookie sheet and store them in a container in the refrigerator or freezer.
