Unsalted Vegan Butter

Choosing the right vegan butter can be hard. I have only tested recipes with two brands (Earth Balance and Violife) and both are pretty good at making a "buttery" cookie or baked good. I have heard great things about Miyoko's but I have yet to try it. Whatever brand you choose, please make sure you are using a stick or block variety, as opposed to the spread. The spread is much less firm (it has additional oils that don't get as firm when cold) and it doesn't hold up as well in baking recipes. Also, be aware that Violife has changed their recipe from using Palm Oil to Coconut Oil, so if you are sensitive to coconut, I would suggest finding an alternative. If you can't find unsalted, it's okay! Just reduce the amount of salt ¼ tsp. If you have another favorite vegan butter brand, please let me know!
