Note
Store the spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
For a nuttier flavor, you can toast the sunflower seeds longer, but watch closely to avoid burning.
If you prefer a sweeter spread, increase the amount of sugar slightly or add a drizzle of honey.
This spread pairs wonderfully with whole grain crackers or as a topping for oatmeal or yogurt.
