If you have a nut allergy or need to pack nut-free lunches, try this easy recipe for homemade no-nut butter. For the best flavor, don’t skip toasting the seeds.
Prep/Cook Time: 15 Minutes, Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups unsalted sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed, preferably golden
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower or canola oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spread sunflower seeds, ground flaxseed and sesame seeds in a shallow baking dish. Bake, stirring once or twice, until fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a food processor; add oil, honey and salt. Process, stopping to scrape down the sides (and give your food processor a little rest) as needed, until smooth and creamy, at least 5 minutes and up to 10 minutes.
