Is there a substitute for coconut butter? Would coconut oil be ok instead or normal butter?

1 cup macadamia nuts (use cashews if you prefer)
1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 heaped tablespoon tahini
1 heaped tablespoon coconut butter
2 teaspoons rice malt syrup
Mix all ingredients together in a food processor until a sticky dough is formed. If you find the mixture too dry, simply add 1 Tbsp cold water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
Roll into even sized balls and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving (or freeze for 30 minutes if you're impatient like us!)

Hey Pauline! Yes, you can substitute cashew or almond butter for the best results, but any nut butter will work well including peanut butter. Sunflower seed butter is another one that you can swap tahini out for as it has a very similar profile. Hope you enjoy the recipe!

Hey Leisa, we use the macadamia/cashew + rice malt syrup mix to imitate white chocolate without the sugar overdose that usually comes with it! Enjoy xx The IQS Team

Hey Ashlee, yes you can use coconut oil or even dairy butter instead, the texture will be slightly different but you’ll still get a great result! Enjoy!
