Spice Free Paleo Sunflower Seed Butter

Homemade nut butter has never been easier, and this sunflower seed version is rich, creamy, and completely free of any spices that might cause irritation or sensitivity. Toasting the seeds first is the real secret — it deepens their natural nuttiness and gives the finished butter a warm, almost caramel-like flavor that store-bought versions rarely achieve. A little coconut oil helps the food processor do its work, resulting in a glossy, pourable butter that's satisfying on everything from apple slices to celery sticks to a simple spoon straight from the jar. The honey adds just enough gentle sweetness to round out the flavor without overwhelming it, and the optional vanilla powder keeps things interesting while staying completely mild. For anyone navigating a spice-sensitive diet, this recipe is a genuine pantry win — every single ingredient is clean, simple, and easy to verify. It keeps well at room temperature for two weeks or in the fridge for up to a month, so you can make a big batch and reach for it all week long.
