Homemade Honey-Sunflower Butter

Can you believe this creamy sunflower butter is made with just ONE ingredient? It’s a fabulous substitute for peanut butter, and the best part is, it’s done in less than 10 minutes. Please note I used a Vitamix® and cannot guarantee the same results with a different brand.

Step: 1

Pour sunflower seeds into the container of a high-powered blender, such as a Vitamix®, and secure lid.

Step: 2

Select Variable 1. Slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then switch from Variable to High. Use the tamper to push sunflower seeds into the blades, and mix until sunflower seed butter develops an oily sheen. Store in an airtight container.

One make sure is also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But often you can made a dish do double-duty .
