"It just takes one ingredient to make this sunflower seed butter! I use a Vitamix® and cannot guarantee similar results with a different brand. If you don't plan on using right away, store in the refrigerator."

Footnotes

Cook's Notes:
I found most sunflower seeds already have salt. If you're fortunate to find unsalted sunflower seeds you may wish to add 1/2 teaspoon salt per 1 cup sunflower seeds.
If you are looking for a crunchy sunflower butter, mix in 2 tablespoons chopped sunflower seeds to the finished butter.
