Gluten/dairy/soy Free Butter

[carolyn-lsc]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this forum. Does anyone know of any butters that are gluten/dairy/soy free? Any that work well in recipes would be great. What about for spreading on toast/pancakes, etc.?

Has anyone tried Ghee or Coconut Oil (Butter) for a substitution of butter? Does it work well atleast in receipes? Are either of them good as a spread? For Ghee it says it's Lactose & Casein free, but not dairy free. Do you guys think this would this be something that's usually tolerated with a dairy allergy?

Thanks,

Carolyn

I use coconut oil for baking in place of shortening or butter - imparts a nice flavor to cakes, etc.

I have a recipe for butter that uses coconut oil, oil and carrot juice. It called for some soy but I left it out. If you get coconut oil try and get spectrum. It doesn't flavor everything coconut.

I use coconut oil. I buy the unrefined kind for when I want the coconut taste, and the refined kind for when I do not. I even use it to spread on gluten-free toast or on veggies.

I use Ghee sparingly. I'm casein intolerant, and it's supposed to be casein-free, but I still only use it for a treat (like on popcorn, but I mix it with coconut oil).
