MSG Free Paleo Sunflower Seed Butter

Creamy, nutty, and deeply satisfying, this sunflower seed butter is the kind of pantry staple you'll want to keep on hand at all times. Store-bought nut and seed butters can be a minefield of additives, natural flavors, and preservatives that are hard to vet — making a batch from scratch is the cleanest way to know exactly what's in the jar. Toasting the seeds first is the real secret here: it draws out a rich, almost caramel-like depth that transforms a simple seed into something genuinely crave-worthy. Coconut oil keeps the texture smooth and glossy, while a touch of honey and optional vanilla powder round out the flavor without overwhelming the natural nuttiness of the seeds. The food processor does all the heavy lifting, and patience through those first few crumbly minutes pays off with a beautifully pourable, silky butter. Spread it on apple slices, swirl it into smoothies, or eat it straight off the spoon — no judgment here. It keeps well at room temperature or in the fridge, so one batch goes a long way.
