Paraben Free Paleo Sunflower Seed Butter

Creamy, nutty, and deeply satisfying, this homemade sunflower seed butter is the kind of spread that makes you wonder why you ever bought it from a store. Commercial nut and seed butters often contain additives, preservatives, and synthetic ingredients that can be a real concern for anyone keeping their pantry clean and simple — making a from-scratch version like this one genuinely worthwhile. Toasting the seeds first is the secret weapon here: it draws out a rich, roasted depth of flavor before the food processor works its magic and transforms them into something impossibly smooth and glossy. Coconut oil keeps the texture perfectly spreadable, while honey adds just enough natural sweetness to balance the earthy seeds without tipping into candy territory. A pinch of sea salt and optional vanilla powder round everything out into a butter that tastes far more complex than its short ingredient list suggests. It keeps at room temperature for two weeks or in the fridge for a full month, so you can make a big batch and reach for it all week long on toast, fruit, or straight off the spoon.
