Maple Spice Almond & Sunflower Seed Butter [vegan] by The Flexitarian

This Almond & Sunflower Seed Butter is absolutely delicious in porridge, cereals, toast, waffles, pancakes, etc… Sweetened with maple syrup, it is spiced with cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric. Perfect as a spread for breakfast or snack.

You can use a regular blender to make this recipe but keep in mind that the more powerful your blender is, the quicker you’ll get a smooth and silky consistency. I used my Nutribullet RX which gets the job done in no time.

This recipe happened somehow by accident as I did not have enough almonds to make a jar of nut butter. Having enjoyed sunflower seed butter before, I decided to add sunflower seeds instead of running out to the shops for more almonds!

I have also been trying out some different spice blends for a client and particularly like the combination of turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger. Here it works so well with maple syrup and coconut oil.

I’ll admit this Maple Spiced Almond & Sunflower Seed Butter is a bit addictive but will make no excuse for it 🙂 Enjoy!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 140 g sunflower seeds
  • 140 g almonds – skin on
  • 2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 3/4 tsp ground ginger

(Switch on to prevent your screen from going dark)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F/ 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.
  • Spread sunflower seeds and almonds on a baking tray and roast for around 10-12 mins.
  • When done, whizz roasted sunflower seeds and almonds in a blender or food processor for around 15-20 mins until you have a smooth creamy paste. You might need to stop the blender / food processor a few times to scrape the sides. Be patient. The longer you wait, the smoother your nut butter will be.
  • Transfer to a bowl. mix in spices, vanilla, coconut oil, maple syrup and salt. Adjust to your own taste if needed.
  • The spices will make this Almond & Sunflower Seed Butter solidify slightly. If you want the nut butter to be super smooth, simply transfer it back to the blender and whizz for a few minutes until you have the desired consistency.
  • This Almond & Sunflower Seed Butter will keep in an airtight jar in the fridge. It will harden with the cold, but it just takes a few minutes at room temperature to soften.
