These Homemade Nut And Seed Butters Are So Worth Making!

Making your own nut and seed butters may seem intimidating, but really it couldn’t be easier. If you have a food processor and some empty jars, you can make all the nut and seed butters of your dreams. Not only is it easy, it takes almost no time, and you can also control what ingredients go into them, making it a much healthier option.

Peanut Butter

Put 2 cups of dry roasted peanuts in your food processor. Simply let it run for 4-5 minutes and watch it go through the stages of being crumbly to turning into a smooth liquid-like substance. If it needs a little help, you can add in a touch of a neutral oil. To bring the peanut butter to life a little, add in a pinch of sea salt.

Sunflower Seed Butter

If you or someone in your life has a nut allergy, make this sunflower seed butter for them! Just put  3 cups of hulled sunflower seeds on a baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes at 350F degrees. Once they’ve been toasted, just pour them into the food processor and let them process for 5-10 minutes until a creamy, smooth, butter has formed. You can then add in a bit of sugar or salt if you like.
