* To melt coconut butter/oil, remove the cap and place the glass jar in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir if possible, then heat up in 15-second increments until smooth. Be careful with the coconut butter because it burns easily!
Coconut butter is blended up coconut meat, whereas coconut oil is just the oil. I used the coconut butter in my dough to reduce the amount of refined oil and increase the coconut flavor, but the final results are similar. Feel free to use coconut oil if that's all you have on hand or don't want to splurge on coconut butter (but it's soooo good!).
I store these in an air-tight container in the fridge. Before serving, heat each donut in the microwave for 30 seconds or set out and allow to return to room temp.
