Note
You can use either raw or roasted nuts and seeds. Roasted ingredients will yield a deeper, richer flavor and may blend slightly faster due to released oils.
For a crunchy texture, reserve 1/4 to 1/2 cup of whole sunflower seeds and stir them into the finished butter after blending.
If substituting with pre-made sunflower seed butter or peanut butter, simply mix the two butters together in the desired ratio and adjust salt to taste.
This butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the pantry for a few days. If separation occurs, simply stir before using.
