Report
A simple pumpkin seed butter made with only two ingredients if you are counting the salt. Creamy and super healthy spread perfect for breakfast or for a snack.

Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin seeds 8.5 oz/ 240 g, 8.5 oz or 2 cups
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt Note 1, or 1-2 teaspoons sweetener plus 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Roast: Preheat the oven to 165 degrees Celsius/ 330 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil. Spread the pumpkin seeds on the tray in a single layer. Roast for about 15 minutes, shaking halfway through. Keep an eye on the seeds; they should not get too dark; it depends on your oven.
- Let cool: Remove from the oven, transfer to a plate, and cool for about 10 minutes.
- Process: Transfer to the bowl of a food processor (Note 2). Process at high speed for about 15-20 minutes, stopping the machine repeatedly and scraping the paste from the sides and bottom of the bowl. Make a short pause once in a while if your food processor tends to get too hot.The butter will go from crumbly to pasty, then smooth.
- Add salt: Once the butter is perfectly smooth and creamy, add the salt and stir well to mix.
- Sweetener: If you wish to make a sweet version, add a sweetener of choice and just a pinch of fine sea salt. Then, transfer the butter to a clean jar.
Notes
- Sugar, xylitol, stevia, honey, maple syrup - all to taste.
- I use a Thermomix. Use a strong food processor or a high-power blender.
- Don't overheat the blender or food processor; it should not get too hot, or it might break. Instead, take breaks and let it cool down shortly from time to time.
