Almond Free Paleo Sunflower Seed Butter

Nut butters are a pantry staple, but for anyone avoiding almonds, the store shelves can feel like a minefield of shared-facility warnings and cross-contact risks. This sunflower seed butter is made entirely from scratch with just a handful of clean, simple ingredients — raw sunflower seeds, coconut oil, honey, sea salt, and an optional touch of vanilla powder — so you know exactly what's in every spoonful. Toasting the seeds first is the secret move here: it deepens their natural nuttiness and sets the stage for a butter that's rich, fragrant, and genuinely craveable. The food processor does the heavy lifting, slowly transforming those toasted seeds from a crumbly meal into a smooth, glossy, pourable butter that rivals anything you'd find at a specialty shop. The coconut oil helps everything come together with a silky finish, while the honey adds just enough sweetness to keep it balanced without tipping into dessert territory. It keeps at room temperature for two weeks or in the fridge for up to a month, making it a brilliant batch-cook staple to spread on fruit, swirl into smoothies, or eat straight off the spoon.
