Embrace simplicity in your kitchen with this easy-to-make homemade sunflower seed butter. With just two main ingredients, sunflower seeds and Celtic salt, you can whip up a delicious and nutrient-packed spread. The optional touch of nutmeg adds a delightful nuance to this versatile butter.

Ingredients:
• 250g sunflower seeds
• 1/2 tsp Celtic salt
• Optional: Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg for that extra oomph!

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200ºC and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper – we're in for a toasty treat!

Wash the sunflower seeds thoroughly in fresh water until the water runs clear.

Drain the seeds using a sieve to remove excess water - then let them soak up some sun (or oven warmth) in the tray. 😁

Transfer the seeds to the prepared baking tray, spreading them evenly with a spatula.

Bake the seeds for 10 minutes at 190ºC, occasionally whisking with the spatula to eliminate moisture.

Reduce the oven temperature to 170ºC and bake for another 10 minutes until the seeds turn golden (avoid over-colouring).

After a golden sunbathing session, we'll blend those seeds into a smooth, creamy concoction. ✨

Allow the seeds to cool completely at room temperature before processing.

Processing:
Once cooled, transfer the seeds to a food processor.

Process until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved, scraping down the sides as needed.

If necessary, pause the food processor to prevent overheating. Add salt and nutmeg (if using), adjusting to your taste and continue processing.

Once your sunflower seed butter reaches your desired consistency, transfer it to airtight containers or glass jars.

Cover the butter with clean kitchen paper before sealing with a lid to ensure complete cooling.
