Super Seedy Sunflower Butter image

Super seedy sunflower butter with chia, hemp, flax, and pumpkin seeds - perfect for toast, baked goods, oats, and more! Creamy with a slight crunch, six ingredients, and vitamin and mineral-rich!

Provided by Minimalist Baker

Categories     Side     Spread

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups raw sunflower seeds ((if roasted, skip the roasting step!))
1/4 tsp sea salt ((more or less to taste))
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 Tbsp flaxseed meal
1 Tbsp shelled hemp seeds
1 Tbsp roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds
1-2 tsp coconut sugar or stevia to sweeten ((optional))

Steps:

  • If your sunflower seeds are roasted (select unsalted if possible), skip this step. Otherwise, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and spread sunflower seeds on a baking sheet.
  • Roast for 10-15 minutes, stirring/turning the pan occasionally, until fragrant and light golden brown.
  • Add roasted sunflower seeds to a food processor (or high speed blender) and blend until a butter forms, scraping down sides as needed. It should take about 5-7 minutes. Resist the urge to add any additional oil (and especially not water, as it will cause the butter to seize up).
  • Add salt, chia seeds, flax seed, hemp seed, and pumpkin seeds and mix/pulse to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt, or a bit of sweetener of choice if desired (avoid using liquid sweeteners, as they can cause the butter to seize up and lose its form).
  • This spread is perfect for toast, baked goods, waffles, pancakes and more! Store at room temperature for 1-2 weeks, or in the refrigerator up to 1 month!

SUNFLOWER BUTTER



Sunflower butter image

Can't eat peanuts? Try this sunflower butter instead for a nut-free spread. A blender will give the best results and it will keep for up to a month.

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Condiment

Time 38m

Yield Makes 550g (about 40 tbsp)

Number Of Ingredients 3

500g sunflower seeds
3 tbsp coconut oil melted (optional)
2 tbsp maple syrup (optional)

Steps:

  • Toast the seeds in a large, dry frying pan over a low heat, stirring so they don't burn. This will enhance the flavour and help release the oils. Tip the seeds into a high-powered blender and blitz while they're still warm, until finely chopped and powdery.
  • If your blender is high-speed, you can make the butter from the seeds alone - continue to blitz until the oils are released and the seeds turn into a smooth butter (this may take 20-30 mins), stopping to scrape down the sides and let the motor rest occasionally. If you don't have a high-speed blender, slowly add the coconut oil with the motor running, and continue to blitz until the mix comes together into a ball, then transforms into butter.
  • Add the syrup and/or salt to taste, or leave plain. Spoon into sterilised jars (see tip, below) and chill until needed. Will keep chilled for up to a month.
