Coconut Butter Buttons

Coconut Butter Buttons are a healthy treat for the kids and adults made with coconut butter, coconut oil and honey (or sweetener of choice). They disappear every time I make them!

Ingredients:

3/4 Cup coconut butter – here’s how you can make it yourself

1/4 Cup coconut oil

1/2 Teaspoon vanilla extractVanilla Bean Powder (Recipe update: the alcohol in vanilla extract can break down the coconut butter. Use vanilla bean powder instead.)

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.
