(I only have small rimmed baking sheets, so I had to use two pans.) Toast them until the seeds start to turn lightly golden and have a nutty aroma, about 20 to 25 minutes. You&#8217;ll want to watch and stir the seeds every 10 minutes or so while they&#8217;re toasting to make sure they don&#8217;t burn.<\/li>\n<li>Once the seeds are toasted, pour them into a food processor fitted with an &#8220;S&#8221; blade and start processing them. Just like making almond butter, you&#8217;ll need a bit of patience during this part. First, the sunflower seeds will be ground into a fine meal, and in about 5 to 6 more minutes, they should start to form a sticky ball.<\/li>\n<li>After the ball stage, it took another 5 minutes or so for the butter to reach a creamy consistency. Once the butter is smooth, you can add the coconut sugar and salt, to taste, and keep processing for a couple more minutes to incorporate it evenly.<\/li>\n<li>Transfer the butter to a glass jar with an airtight lid and store it in the fridge for up to a month. (It might last longer than that, but we usually use it all by then!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Our thoughts on this recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A wonderful, straightforward recipe! We\u2019d recommend this if you\u2019d like to add more variety to the types of butter you have at home. You can even add sunflower seeds to your regular, store-bought nut butter for added nutritional benefit. Sunflower butter is great on toast and has both sweet and savoury applications.
