Caffeine Free Homemade Sunflower Seed Butter

Creamy, nutty, and lightly sweet, this homemade sunflower seed butter is the kind of spread that makes you wonder why you ever bought the store-bought version. Roasting the seeds first is the secret — it deepens their natural flavor and gives the finished butter a rich, toasty quality that you just can't get from raw seeds alone. The food processor does the heavy lifting from there, slowly transforming those golden seeds into something silky and spreadable with nothing but a little patience and a few scrapes of the spatula. A touch of honey, cinnamon, and sea salt round everything out, and the optional vanilla adds a subtle warmth that makes it feel almost indulgent. Since every ingredient here is naturally free of stimulants, you can enjoy it any time of day without a second thought — morning toast, afternoon snack, or a late-night spoonful straight from the jar. It keeps well at room temperature for a couple of weeks or in the fridge for up to a month, so one batch goes a long way.
