Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sunflower seeds, roasted and unsalted
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
Instructions
In a food processor, add the 2 cups of roasted and unsalted sunflower seeds.
Pulse the seeds a few times to break them down into smaller pieces.
Run the processor continuously on high speed for about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the seeds start to turn into a thick paste.
Add the 3 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract to the processed sunflower seeds.
Continue processing on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. This should take another 3-5 minutes.
Once the desired consistency is reached, taste the sunflower butter and adjust for sweetness or saltiness by adding more honey or salt, if desired.
Transfer the nut-free homemade honey 'peanut' butter to a clean jar or airtight container.
Store the sunflower butter in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before each use to maintain a smooth consistency.
