Homemade Sunflower Seed Butter

A delicious alternative to peanut or almond butter for those with nut allergies.

Ingredients

• 3 cups raw sunflower seeds
• ½ teaspoon salt

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spread the sunflower seeds on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn.
3. Remove the seeds from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.
4. Put the roasted seeds and salt in a food processor and blend, stopping to scrape down the sides a few times.  It can take around 10 to 15 minutes before the sunflower seeds blend into a paste.
5. Pour the smooth and creamy sunflower seed butter into a glass jar and store in the pantry.​
