Recipes Using Avocado Instead Of Butter

All you need is just 4 ingredients (salt & pepper not included) for a flavor-packed avocado butter – perfect for topping toast, proteins, roasted veggies, and more! Can be made dairy-free too!

Over 2 years ago, I first shared my method for homemade butter (just ONE ingredient needed), and shortly after that, I delved into making homemade compound butter (aka flavored butter). I’ve fiddled with various flavor combinations over the years, but when I tried this avocado butter, I knew I had to share it.

Avocado butter is creamy, rich, and packed with nutrients and healthy fats thanks to the avocado. There are also several ways you can adapt the herby green compound butter to your liking and tons of ways to use it- just check out the ingredients list below for several optional add-ins.

As compound butter goes, this avocado version has it all: it’s super creamy, filled with buttery goodness, and packed with flavor too. And you might wonder, why bother adding the butter when you could slather the mashed avocado (or guacamole) over items instead – you’ll get it when you try it. The combination of avocado and butter is – *chef’s kiss*!

Plus, you can use the avocado butter when it’s soft and ‘whippy’ at room temperature, or roll it into a log and firm in the refrigerator for slices. Serve in all the same ways you’d use butter too – slathered over toast, mixed into sauces, melting over proteins and veg, etc.

I always like to start by making my homemade unsalted butter. You can follow the steps outlined here. Of course, you can also just use your favorite store-bought butter and skip this step.

Add all of the ingredients to a food processor or high-speed processor and blend until super smooth. Scrape down the sides as you go to ensure the mixture is consistent.

Alternatively, spoon the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper or cling film. Carefully shape into a log, making sure there are no air bubbles. Then wrap at the ends like a Christmas cracker.

You can also scoop it into an airtight container. If doing so, add a layer of clingfilm over the top, touching the surface of the avocado butter – this will help to stop it browning for longer.

Store the avocado butter covered tightly in the refrigerator and aim to use it within 3-4 days. It will usually last up to a week but will begin to brown before then (it’s still okay to use at this point, it’s just not as “pretty”).

You can also freeze the butter. I haven’t done this before, but I imagine it would be okay for up to 1 month at least.
