Steps for preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and spread the sunflower seeds
into a thin layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Toast them until the seeds start to turn lightly golden and
have a nutty aroma, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Stir the seeds every 10 minutes or so while they’re
toasting to make sure they don’t burn.
- Once the seeds are toasted, pour them into a food processor
fitted with an “S” blade and start processing them.
- First, the sunflower seeds will be ground into a fine meal,
and in about 5 to 6 more minutes, it should start to form a sticky ball.
- Once the butter is smooth, you can add the coconut
sugar and salt, to taste, and keep processing for a couple more minutes to
incorporate it evenly.
-
Transfer the butter to a glass jar with an
airtight lid and store it in the fridge for up to a month.
