This 2 ingredient Matcha coconut butter would have to be one of the most easy, yet rewarding recipes I can share with you guys. We all know how expensive Coconut Butter can be. Why spend upwards of $10 on a jar when you can make it at home for a mere $4?
And not to worry, if you don't have matcha on hand (or if you don't like it) but lets be real, who doesn't like Matcha!? Then just sub it out and have it au naturale. Just as tasty, maybe not as antioxidant rich and definitely not as green, but delicious in it's own right.
A few things to note here:
You'll need a high powder blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec
Don't overheat your blender. Keep the setting on low and do it slow. When the blender overheats, so does the coconut and it will start to get lumpy.
Add the Matcha at the very end, once the coconut butter is already liquid.
Makes 1 small jar
What you'll need:
1 12oz bag of unsweetened coconut flakes or shredded coconut
1/2 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder
What to do:
In a completely dry blender add in your bag of coconut flakes.
Blend on low for 3 minutes. The coconut should move in on itself, around the blade and break down over this 3 minutes into a liquid coconut butter. If the coconut gets stuck, or stops moving simply use your tamper (if you have a Vitamix) to push it into the blade, or turn it off and scrape down the sides.
Once the coconut butter turns into liquid, add in your matcha powder and blend just until combined.
Pour into a glass jar and enjoy.
* If your kitchen is on the cooler side the coconut butter will solidify in the jar. To get it back to liquid, either place the jar in a pot of hot water or microwave on a very low heat for 20 seconds.
