Like us, Flora believes that great food starts with simple honest ingredients. We’ve teamed up to bring you a range of fresh seasonal recipes to try at home using Flora’s new range of 100% plant-based spreads that are packed with plant goodness.

Margarine has received criticism in the past for being an artificial substitute for butter, but, being naturally rich in Omega 3 with absolutely no preservatives, artificial colours or flavours, this spread has got a lot going for it.

Inspired by Flora’s new recipe that features only seven simple ingredients, this homemade margarine recipe is easy to make and can be used as a spread on toast or in stir-fries, baking, or grilling. Scroll down for the recipe!
