Forgive my ignorance on the topic - but wouldn't that be margarine?0

Good ol' fashioned peanut butter?0

Yes, sorry, I should have explained that I can't stand margarine (urgh the thought makes me feel sick) I'm looking for something unprocessed, no chemicals, no hydrogenated fats. Like cocoa butter or Shea butter? Is that nice on toast? Anything similar?0 -

That doesn't even sound right.................
Why not use the real thing. Using highly processed franken food is not healthy.
Why do most vegans think their lifestyle is so superior when it is filled with processed foods???
I can really on respect a vegan that relies on whole foods for nutrition and sustinance.0 -
Raw cashew or almond butter is supposed to have a mild taste similar to butter. I've seen them recommended in recipes for homemade dairy free chocolate.
But .. do you really put that much butter on your toast?0 -
is Earth Balance vegan?
I like that...0 -
I've spread coconut oil on toasted english muffins. It works just as good as butter.0

Coconut oil? It's a solid at room temperature.0

Sorry? Why does that not sound right? I'm looking for something unprocessed instead of butter as I don't want to eat dairy and don't want to eat processed chemical alternatives like margarine. I don't understand what you mean by 'why not eat the real thing' ?0 -

Wait?? If your vegan, your surely not eating bread that is baked with animal products and perhaps honey????
Every vegan I know says that bread is not allowed due to the use of animal products.
And yes, margarine is totally disgusting. Nothing will compare to a nice pat of grass fed butter though.
Perhaps you should try a nut butter or coconut oil as it can be used just like butter.0 -
Becel makes one but I'm not sure on the taste.0

Because anything vegan similar to butter is going to be margarine................no way around that.
And secondly, bread is not vegan.0 -
Yes, it is.is Earth Balance vegan?
I like that...0 -
I'll try out Pure, earth balance and almond butter, thanks for the helpful tips, appreciate it.

Coconut oil? It's a solid at room temperature.
So is butter.0 -
Vegan butter didn't sound very appetizing so they called it margarine instead0

Flour, yeast, water, salt, maybe a sweetener or oil...? what else do you really need?0 -

Totally disagree with your first point about no way around margarine, as the other posts show. Almond butter is not margarine and is not processed or full of chemicals if you pick a decent organic make.
Thanks for pointing out that bread is not vegan, just went to check the ingredients and um, yeah, actually nothing in there whatsoever derived from an animal. I don't know what bread your eating but mines fine.
Not sure why you feel the need to deride my simple question asking for advice on vegan butter and complain that vegans are all superior and you only respect those eating wholefoods when you know absolutely nothing whatsoever about what I eat or my morals or how I live my life. No need.0 -
Most bread is vegan. Brioche and challah are not. A lot of loaves get brushed with egg wash though...0

Lots of bread is vegan.0 -

To be solid at room temperature vegetable oils must be hydrogenated. Margarine is likely no worse than much of the rest of your diet (cuz soy, refined seed oils, and processed vegan products are SO healthy…). Um, also if it comes in a package and is modified from it's original form it is indeed "processed".
However, I cast my vote for coconut oil. Vegan AND healthy (not many foods will fit both criteria!).0 -
Any of the nut butters .. Peanut etc.....0

Learn to make some infused oils. The possibilities are endless. Earth balance is as processed as margarine. It's funny how much processed crap you can buy at whole foods that people just assume are healthy alternatives.0

Um why is everyone assuming I eat lots of unhealthy processed foods? I don't eat anything processed at all. I don't eat soy, refined seed oils or processed vegan products so please don't make statements like 'margarine is likely no worse than much of the rest of your diet' when you don't know me. Maybe I should have explained more in my original post but hadn't realised people would be so keen to have a go at me.
I simply wanted an unprocessed alternative to butter that didn't contain dairy. No chemicals. No hydrogenated vegetable oils. The suggestions about nut butters look like the best option I just wondered if there was anything out there similar that I hadn't considered. I'm increasingly finding people on here to be quite mean spirited and keen to have a dig based on no foundation (no offence to all the lovely helpful answers thank you) and I don't get it. Why can't I just post an innocent question. Why have a go?0 -
