How to Make How To Make Your Own Sunflower Seed Butter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread 1 cup of raw sunflower seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
- Let the roasted sunflower seeds cool completely.
- Add the cooled sunflower seeds to a food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until a coarse meal forms.
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 1-2 tablespoons of your choice of oil (e.g., sunflower, coconut, or olive oil), until the mixture reaches your desired consistency and resembles peanut butter.
- If using unsalted sunflower seeds, add 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of sea salt to taste.
- Add your chosen sweetener: 1/2 teaspoon of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of honey, or another sweetener to taste. Blend until well combined.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or salt as needed.
- Transfer the sunflower seed butter to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
