Ingredients
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 180ºC
- Pour the sunflower seeds onto a baking tray then place in the oven for about 8 minutes. Be careful as the seeds can burn really quickly. They should just be heated through but not browned.
- Pour into a food processor and turn it onto high. It takes a good while for the oils to start releasing from the seeds so it is worth noting that you should give your food processor a little break every 10 minutes or so to allow it to cool down.
- Scrape down the inside of the bowl while the machine is resting then start is again and repeat until you have a super smooth consistency to your sunflower butter.
- Store in an airtight jar in the fridge and use within 1 month.
