Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw sunflower seeds
  • 2-3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1/8 tsp dried ginger
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • In a medium pan, toast sunflower seeds over medium heat for 10 minutes or until seeds are golden brown, stirring frequently. Let cool slightly.
  • Transfer the seeds to a food processor or blender and run machine for 2-3 minutes. The seeds will start to look like crumbled graham crackers.
  • Add coconut oil and run machine for another 2-3 minutes, scrapping down sides if needed.
  • Add in spices and maple syrup and run for 5 more minutes, scrapping down sides if needed. The butter will be thick at first, but as you get closer to the 5 minute mark, the butter will become smooth and creamy.
  • Transfer to an air-tight container.

Notes

Yield - 2 cups
Storage - in air-tight container for 1 month. I like to keep my nut and seed butters in my pantry so they don't get too thick and they last at least 1 month for me. You can also keep in the fridge for a longer storage time.
