Allergen-Free Recipe - Sugar-Free Sunflower Seed Butter

Toasted sunflower seeds are one of the brilliant additions to peanut and tree nuts free diet  Likewise, sunflower seed butter is a great substitution for peanut butter or almond butter.  I like to make my own to control the ingredients.  This sugar-free version is perfect for anyone wanting to try the Grain Brain Diet who also has an aversion to nuts.
  

3 C. Sunflower Seeds (or roasted sunflower seeds)
1/4 c. Avocado Oil (or other neutral-tasting oil)
Salt


(1) If using raw sunflower seeds, dry toast sunflower seeds in a pan over low heat.  Make sure you continue to stir the sunflower seeds during toasting so that they do not burn.

(2) Place all ingredients in a high power blender (salted to taste) and blend while tamping for 1 minute (or follow your blender's instructions).
