My kids were hankering for something sweet the other day. So, I made this delicious sweet apricot butter recipe. It’s not a jam – it’s real butter with dried fruit pureed into it.
Great on warm toast. It is one of my younger son’s favorite gluten free snacks.

If you can’t have dairy, there are some good options. Nucoa is a brand that acts, tastes, and whips like butter. It’s pricey though.
You can make your own version at home with this recipe: https://theprovidenthomemaker.com/1/post/2013/02/homemade-dairy-free-spreadable-butter.html

Do recommend salted or unsalted butter?

If I do not eat dairy, soy, wheat, anything white like sugar, salt, corn, gluten, GMO’s, can you suggest anything that would taste like butter?
Is there a natural butter flavor that could be added to coconut oil or olive oil?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
I do not think substituting butter with oil will work with this recipe. It will not combine well.
You could try Tahini or other nut-based butter like almond butter etc. I suggest to use less than stated in recipe to avoid a too ¨nutty¨ taste.
Hope it helps.

Kevin,
I’m not sure. Although I don’t use them, you could try a butter substitute.
This would be a great question for my newly launched forums. One of my other readers may have some advice or suggestions.

What can you substitute if you don’t do dairy?
