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
Directions
Step 1
In a food processor, add the 2 cups of roasted and unsalted sunflower seeds.
Step 2
Pulse the seeds a few times to break them down into smaller pieces.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once the desired consistency is reached, taste the sunflower butter and adjust for sweetness or saltiness by adding more honey or salt, if desired.
Step 7
Transfer the nut-free homemade honey 'peanut' butter to a clean jar or airtight container.
Step 8
Store the sunflower butter in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before each use to maintain a smooth consistency.
