This is a delicious, all natural alternative to peanut butter. 3 cups raw sunflower seeds A pinch of sea salt ½ teaspoon vanilla extract Spread the sunflower seeds onto an oven tray and roast them in a moderate oven until lightly browned and fragrant. Keep a close eye on them while they’re in the oven to make sure they don’t burn. Place the sunflower seeds and all other ingredients into a food processor or high powered blender. Process the seeds until they form a paste. This may take up to 20 minutes depending on what type of machine you have. In a basic food processor you may need to stop every couple of minutes to rearrange the mixture inside the bowl to ensure it blends evenly.
