Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Place the pumpkin and sunflower seeds on an oven-safe tray and bake for 10 minutes, stirring halfway, until slightly golden. Roasting enhances the flavor and helps release natural oils.

Step 2

Add the roasted seeds to a blender or food processor. Process until smooth, scraping the sides as needed. Patience is key; it might take around 15 minutes to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 3

Once you get a slightly runny consistency, add the salt if using, and process for another minute. You can also add cinnamon, coconut, or your favorite spices toward the end of blending.

Step 4

Store in the pantry for 10 days or in the fridge for 1 month. Enjoy your homemade, nut-free seed butter!
