You can use Earth Balance - vegan, and/or Smart Balance (they have one
with whey and one without) Here are some recipes from the archives -
hope one suits you -
Barbara's Margarine
1 heaping Tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
pinch turmeric (for color)
1 tsp imit butter flavor
1 tsp salt
1Tbsp Emes vegan gelatin or any brand equivalent
3/4 cup soy milk
1/4 cup soy milk powder
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup olive oil (mild flavor, unless you like the strong taste)
1 1/2 t liquid lecithin
1 tsp or to taste sweetener, e.g. tubinado powder or fructose powder
Directions
Dissolve the Emes gelatin into half the soymilk. While that is
dissolving, in a blender place the nutritional yeast, butter,
flavoring,
salt, remaining soymilk, turmeric, and dry soy powder. Blend
thoroughly.
While that is still blender add the soaked Emes, oils, lecithin, and
sweetener. Pour in a jar and let it set.
That is it! Spread on bread it looks just like the
commercial margarine after it has melted!!!!!
Works in cookie recipes too!

Homemade Margarine -- Lynne Snyder
1/2 cup almonds, blanched
1/2 cup water
1 1/4 cup oil (divided: 1/2 cup plus 3/4 cup)
3/4 tsp. salt
2 Tbs. nutritional yeast
1 tsp. liquid imitation butter flavor (I used Schilling brand)
1 Tbs. lemon juice
Mix almonds, water and 1/2 cup oil in blender until smooth. Add salt,
nutritional yeast, butter flavor and remaining oil. When well blended
add lemon juice.
"MARGARINE"
1 Tbsp. Nutritional Yeast Flakes (flakes)
1 pinch Tumeric (for color)
1 tsp. Butter Flavoring
1 tsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Emes Gelatin
3/4 c. Milk (of your choice)
1/4 c. Soy Milk (Soyagen powder, or other milk powder substitute)
3/4 c. Canola Oil
1/2 tsp. Liquid Lecithin
1 tsp. Rice Syrup (or other sweetener)
Instructions: Disolve the Emes into half the milk liquid. While that
disolves, in a blender, place the remaining milk, yeast flakes, butter
flavoring, salt, tumeric, and milk powder. Blend thoroughly.
While that is still blending, add Emes, oil, lecithin, and sweetener.
Pour into a jar and refridgerate. That's it! Melts like butter and is
wonderful in cookies.
OLIVE OIL "BUTTER"
2 tsp. Emes Gelatin
1 c. Water (boiling)
1 1/2 c. Olive Oil (cold)
1/8 tsp. Tumeric
1 tsp. Liquid Lecithin
1 Tbsp. Nutritional Yeast Flakes
1 tsp. Salt
Instructions: Dissolve gelatin in boiling water in a blender. Add the
rest of the ingredients while blending on high speed. Refrigerate for
several hours before using. Keeps one month in the refrigerator. It
"sets up" in the refrigerator so that it spreads like soft butter, but
melts on your food. The flavor is actually superior to margarine!
