I had to dig into the world of aquafabas and oils a little deeper. My aim was to create something which resembles commercial butter, and I guess this recipe does justice to that. Aquafaba refers to to the water in which chickpeas or any legumes have been cooked. In the below recipe I also added the steps to make aquafaba at home. This recipe uses chickpeas but you can experiment and try this recipe with different legumes.

Ingredients:

  1. For 2 cups aquafaba
  2. 3 cups chickpeas 
  3. 4 cups water 
  4. 1/3 cup refined coconut oil
  5. 4 teaspoons canola oil
  6. 3 tablespoons aquafaba 
  7. 2/3 teaspoon lemon juice
  8. Salt to taste

Directions: 

For Aquafaba

Soak 3 cups of Chickpeas in water overnight.

Strain the chickpeas. Add chickpeas and 8 cups of water into a pressure cooker.

Cook on medium-high flame for eight whistles, then put it on medium-low flame for 20-25 mins. 

Turn off the heat, and let it stay undisturbed for a minimum of 2 hours. 

Let the pressure release naturally. After that, open the cooker, and drain the chickpeas into a bowl using a strainer. Let the chickpeas be in the strainer for an hour or two. 

The water collected in the bowl will start to thicken slowly. Keep stirring it. 

The water collected below is the aquafaba. It will give us approximately 2 cups of aquafaba.

For Vegan Aquafaba Butter

Mix coconut oil and canola oil.

Add aquafaba and lemon juice in a jar and blend it with an immersion blender. Once it thickens, start pouring the oil mixture into it gradually. Keep blending until it’s thick.

Add salt according to your taste. Blend it well.

Refrigerate uncovered until firm. Once it’s firm, you can cover and refrigerate it.

I use it for baking and as a breakfast spread. I love it with parathas. If you also crave butter every now and then, like me, then this is the perfect replacement. I know we don’t have the below ingredients already in our kitchen, but they are readily available in the market, and it’s pretty simple to make at home. 

Ingredients:

  1. 1 cup refined coconut oil
  2. ½ cup almond flour
  3. ½ cup + 2 tablespoons soy milk (unsweetened and unflavoured)
  4. 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast
  5. 1 teaspoon salt
  6. 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  7. A pinch of turmeric powder
  8. ¼ cup olive oil

Directions:

Blend almond flour, milk, salt, nutritional yeast, vinegar, and turmeric until smooth. 

Pour in the refined coconut and olive oil, then blend until smooth. Blend it in regular intervals. Please take a few minutes of break in between to prevent it from getting hot. If it gets too hot, it can split a bit.

Pour the liquid butter into a container, cover, and refrigerate until set.

Before using it, take it out of the fridge and let it get soft. It will be smoother and creamier.
