Raw Vegan Butter – A Game Changer
Vegan butter. Can you believe it? It's as creamy, salty, and versatile as its non-vegan counterpart, only without the heart attack. Huzzah!
In Recipes
We’re so excited, and we just can’t hide it.
(Hence the jazz hands.)
Because – vegan butter. Can you believe it?
It’s as creamy, salty, and versatile as its non-vegan counterpart, only without the heart attack. Huzzah!
What’s more, this one’s homemade, easy to make, and contains only whole and healthy ingredients.
Now, maybe the concept of vegan butter is old hat to you. It’s true that you can find non-dairy butters in the shops pretty easily these days. But the thing is, they’re usually chock full of soy lecithin, emulsifiers, fillers, palm oil or carrageenan. Or all of the above.
And let’s not even mention that non-food known as margarine. *Shudder*
No such nasties in this divine recipe. As you’ll see, it’s made of only the purest and most health-giving ingredients. It provides your body with good fats, plus it’s easily digestible, even if you do go a little overboard (which may happen if you’ve got some tasty and toasty bread to pair it with).
The Genius Behind the Butter: Oona Bee Crudivine
May we introduce you to the delightful Oona Bee.
She’s a raw vegan pioneer and purveyor of healthy vegan cheeses. Her line of nut cheeses, Les Crudivins, has got all of veggie Paris salivating. Everybody is gleefully waiting for the moment when her creations become available in organic shops. For now, Ann and I have taken to stalking her at all the vegan festivals, hoping for tasting sessions. 🙂
Today, Oona the non-dairy queen shares her coveted butter recipe. We tried it at VeggieWorld a few months ago and went absolutely mental for it. We decided we just had to share this game-changing recipe with our dear readers, and were thrilled that Oona was up for it.

This is an amazing recipe. Delicious, clean, pure and easy. Thank you so much! I used it as a vegan butter in a vegan mozzarella cheese that I made!
Ooooh vegan mozzarella cheese! Brilliant! We are so happy that you enjoyed this recipe — it’s one of all time favorites, because as you say, it’s pure and easy *and* you can make amazing things with it… (like mozzarella. 😀 ) Thanks so much for your comment, and for visiting Veggie Magnifique, Taryn. 🙂
Hi. After depriving myself as a vegan for over 25 tears, your butter is divine to replace dairy with, and the tastiest and most nutritional ever. Thanks, an absolute lifechanger.
Fabulous! We are so pleased you enjoyed this recipe John. All the best xxx
I find the recipe very useful, I shall make it very soon.
In the article you mention Oona Bee Crudivine, and she mentions her website in the video.
I was hoping to go to her site and find a recipe for the cheese she asked you to taste it in the video , which had walnuts in it.
Unfortunately her website is no longer .
I was wondering if you had an idea as to where I may obtain the recipe for the cheese.
Hi John! So glad that you enjoyed the recipe! Sadly, Oona’s cheese recipe is only in one place, and that is her head! She made the best vegan cheese ever, but I think she might be focusing on other projects at the moment.
