butter - sunflower seed butter

By tinathorn

can substitute for peanutbutter in baking for peanut free school snacks

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups sunflower seeds (I buy the ones with the shells removed)
• 1 T oil (I used olive oil)
• scant 1/4 tsp salt
• optional sweetener (I used 1 tsp honey)I know honey is not for strict vegans. You could probably use agave instead.

Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor/vitamix, combine the nuts, salt and sweetener.

Start to pulse and you will slowly start to see the seeds release some of their natural oils.

Keep pulsing pausing for a few seconds each time to give the seeds more time to release more oils.

then add oil and blend until smooth
