How to Make Your Own Sunflower Seed Butter

January 16, 2023 By Courtney Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for a tasty way to make your own sunflower seed butter, look no further. This recipe is surprisingly simple and totally tasty. Check out the post below to give it a try!

Homemade Sunflower Seed Butter Recipe

Looking for a healthy snack? Sunflower seed butter is an excellent alternative to peanut butter and other nut butters, and it’s packed with Vitamin E and unsaturated fats. Store-bought brands can be pricey, but this homemade sunflower seed butter keeps things budget-friendly – without sacrificing flavor! To make this tasty butter, roast a baking sheet of sunflower until they’re golden, then blend them with sugar and coconut oil in a food processor until it’s nice and creamy. Keep a jar of this homemade sunflower seed butter in your fridge, and serve on toast or with jelly for a tasty twist on the PB&J. And be sure to leave your favorite homemade butter recipes in the comments below!

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups raw shelled sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp. virgin coconut oil, softened
  • pinch of sea salt, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 vanilla bean, seeded or 1/4 tsp. pure vanilla bean powder (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spread on the seeds in an even layer. Roast for 9-12 minutes, until some of the seeds are lightly golden. Cool the seeds for a few minutes before using.
  2. Meanwhile, add the sugar into a high speed blender and grind until a powder forms. Leave the lid on and set aside so the “dust” can settle.
  3. Spoon the toasted seeds into a heavy-duty food processor. (I like to spoon the seeds into my measuring cup and transfer them that way. When I have about 1/2 cup of seeds left on the pan I will use the parchment paper to “funnel” the remaining seeds into the processor.)
  4. Process the seeds for a few minutes, stopping to scrape the bowl every minute. It will look dry and powdery at this stage. (If you have a chute, you can leave it open to allow steam to escape.)
  5. Add the coconut oil and process for another couple minutes. The butter will clump together into a large ball and it’ll start rattling around for a bit. Then, the ball will eventually break down into butter again. Stop to scrape down the bowl as needed.
  6. Now, add in the ground sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Process for another few minutes until smooth. Now, slowly stream in the vanilla while processing. Add in the vanilla bean seeds, if using. You can add a touch more oil if you need to thin out the butter (but do not add water or liquid sweetener because it will seize). I like to let the machine run at least another 2 minutes to get the sunflower seed butter super smooth. I process for a total of about 8 minutes, but timing will vary based on your food processor and preference. Some machines may need to run for upwards of 15 minutes to get the seed butter smooth enough.
  7. Transfer the sunflower seed butter into an air-tight container. Chill in the fridge. Here it’ll keep for about 2 months and it will remain “spreadable” even when chilled.
