Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Place sunflower seeds in your food processor.
  2. Turn on processor and process for 9-10 minutes. If the mixture is still dry and thick after 10 minutes of processing, process a little longer. It may take an additional 5-6 minutes for the sunflower seed oil to release and thin out.
  3. Once the sunbutter has reached your desired consistency, add in maple syrup, vanilla and sea salt. Give the processor a few more pulses to combine, then turn machine off and remove the sunbutter with a spatula.
  4. Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to a week or in the fridge for up to one month.

Notes

  • Sunflower seeds: I highly recommend using roasted, unsalted sunflower seeds. The roasting process allows the natural oils to be released and makes for a smoother and thinner texture.
