I continue to search for a vegan butter substitute that makes my palate happy. My current product is a spread from Spectrum Naturals (called Spectrum Naturals Spread). It is non-hydrogenated and contains the following: "Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Water, Sea Salt, Xanthan and Guar Gums, Soy Protein Isolate, Annatto, Citric Acid, Sorbic Acid at 1/10 of 1% (anti-mold agent), Natural Butter Flavor (non-dairy, soy-based), Tumeric." There are 10 whopping grams of fat in each tablespoon but only 0.5 grams of saturated fat.

While this is pretty good on wheat muffins and the like it never really melts all the way and takes a bit of getting used to, visually. But right now, it is working.

Good Luck.
