Servings: 2 1/2 cups sunflower butter

Author: Kristen Wood

Ingredients

  • 3 cups raw sunflower seeds salted or unsalted (keep in mind any recipes you would like to use them in)

Instructions

  • In a food processor or high-speed blender add sunflower seeds.

  • Pulse intermittently until the seeds resemble a coarse flour.

  • Blend on high until smooth and creamy, stopping and scraping down the sides if necessary. If the oils have not been released and your seed butter is not looking shiny, liquidy and creamy, keep going! It will turn eventually. Times will vary slightly dependent upon how powerful a food processor or blender you use.

  • Store in lidded jars at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.

Tips for making Sunflower Butter:

  • Use fresh, good quality raw organic sunflower seeds for the easiest, creamiest and tastiest results.
  • If you want your Sunflower Butter to be extra creamy, add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil to your blender or food processor when blending the sunflower seeds.
  • To make the natural bitterness of Sunflower Butter more palatable, add 1/4 cup coconut sugar to the blender or food processor when blending the sunflower seeds.
  • You can flavor your Sunflower Seed Butter with any spices of your choosing. I like to add warming spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger for a creamy treat.
  • To make Chocolate Sunbutter, add 1/4 cup cacao or cocoa powder to the blender or food processor when blending the sunflower seeds.
