I have heard some talk of this but am not really sure how to use it or what it is.
Is it sweet? I thought of maybe getting it to put in my oatmeal as I usually add some almond butter to it but I am not sure.

Not really sweet, no, but utterly delicious.
Never would have thought to put it in oatmeal, but I know it goes delicious with bananas and dark chocolate.0 -
I put a teaspoon of coconut butter in my oatmeal every morning. I love it, it's not sweet, but it makes the oatmeal out of this world! I think the reports on coconut oil's health benefits are mixed (some say good, some say not so good), but I don't care because I love it (in moderation).0

If you're interested in making it, just buy dessicated, unsweetened coconut and throw it in a food processor or, if you have one, Vita-Mix (don't try using a generic blender, it's not powerful enough). Scrape down the sides periodically, but basically just let it run until it becomes a smooth butter.0

I bought a coconut honey butter that I used in an oatmeal cookie recipe and its amazing. I substituted across the board for the butter the recipe called for, but I added 1/4c applesauce and a TBsp agave. The one I have is sweet, since it has the honey in it.0
