Pregnancy Friendly Paleo Sunflower Seed Butter

Creamy, naturally sweet, and made entirely from whole-food ingredients, this sunflower seed butter is the kind of pantry staple that earns its place on the shelf. During pregnancy, navigating store-bought spreads can feel like a minefield — many contain refined oils, added sugars, or preservatives that give you pause at the label. This version keeps things clean and simple: just toasted sunflower seeds, coconut oil, honey, sea salt, and an optional touch of vanilla powder. Sunflower seeds are a great source of vitamin E and healthy fats, making this a genuinely nourishing choice when you're eating for two. The process is surprisingly meditative — a food processor does all the heavy lifting, transforming humble seeds into a silky, glossy butter with nothing but time and patience. Spread it on fruit, stir it into oatmeal, or eat it straight from the jar — no judgment here. A batch keeps for up to a month in the fridge, so you can make it once and reach for it all week long.
