seed butter

Thick, luscious seed butter made from iron-rich hemp and pumpkin seeds is perfect for toast, baked goods and more! And because it&#39;s nut free, you can pack it to school.

Iron Rich Recipes: Super Seed Butter

pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

hemp hearts

raw sunflower seeds

avocado oil

cane sugar

ginger

cinnamon

salt

Place the pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds and sunflower seeds in a food processor and process them until they turn into a nice crumb.

Next, with the motor running, drizzle in the oil to help get the butter process going. At this stage, the seeds will start to look like a dry dough and require lots of scraping.

Keep going, scraping as necessary, and slowly it will form a paste that seems close to ready by 15 minutes. However, it&#39;s not quite creamy. What you&#39;re waiting for is the machine and the butter to start really heating up and the oils of the seeds to release. Some will toast the seeds in the oven first to get the oils releasing…but here I&#39;m relying on the motor of the food processor to do my bidding.

At about 20-25 minutes, it will look like a thick, glossy butter and then it is ready. When ready, add the salt and cinnamon and give it another whir to combine. Now, you&#39;ve got a decision about sweeteners.

If you add liquid sweeteners to a butter, you run the risk of it seizing and turning into a dough. So the safest bet is to add sugar and dried ginger and whir again.

However, if you like living dangerously…which I do…then turn off the machine and add a bit of maple syrup and fresh ginger by hand. Now, it&#39;s ready to transfer into a glass jar and store in the fridge for up to a month. Or, eat it all on freshly toasted bread with a few of your closest friends and call it brunch.

Toasting the seeds will help them release their natural oils for better flavor and easier blending – without degrading their nutritional value.

Spread the seeds on a parchment-lined baking tray and toast in the oven for just 5 minutes at 325ºF/160ºC.

Step 1: Toast the seeds

Allow them to cool slightly before transferring to your high-speed food processor or blender.

Blend/process the nuts until they achieve a smooth butter. It can take a while to blend to the correct consistency, so give your machine a break every couple of minutes. Scrape down the sides of the jug, if needed.

When it's ready, transfer it to a clean, airtight container (like a glass jar).

Step 2: Blend the seed butter
