Homemade Seed Butter Blend Recipes

Steps:

• Pulse the pumpkin and sunflower seeds in a food processor until finely ground but still dry, about 30 seconds. Add the honey and chia seeds if using and process to incorporate. With the machine running, stream in 1 tablespoon of water at a time, allowing it to incorporate thoroughly after each addition, until the mixture resembles a thick paste much like peanut butter; add about 2 tablespoons of water total if not including the chia, 3 tablespoons if including the chia. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue to process until the desired texture is reached.
• Store in an airtight container. Serve on toast or with apple slices.

Steps:

• Pour sunflower seeds into the container of a high-powered blender, such as a Vitamix®, and secure lid.
• Select Variable 1. Slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then switch from Variable to High. Use the tamper to push sunflower seeds into the blades, and mix until sunflower seed butter develops an oily sheen. Season with salt. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Put the seeds in a food processor and blitz for 5-8 mins, scraping the sides down as you go. Try not to let it overheat - if the mixture feels too warm, leave it for a little longer between intervals. It should be thick and spreadable.
• To sweeten, mix in the maple syrup, if you like. Put in a sterile jar and chill for up to one week.
