Sunflower seed nutrition

Sunflower seeds have a little less than 5 grams of fat per tablespoon. That same tablespoon has only about 2 grams of carbs with half its carbs coming from fiber. Sunflower seeds have a little protein too. They’re also a source of B vitamins, iron, and manganese.

What you can add to your sunflower butter

Ideally, all you should need to make sunflower seed butter is sunflower seeds. If your butter seems too thick, you can add a little oil to it to thin it out. Try olive oil or avocado oil. You can also sweeten your seed butter with liquid stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit. Instead of salting the butter yourself, just blend salted sunflower seeds to skip a step.

What type of blender to use

Using a food processor would be the best appliance to use to blend your sunflower butter, especially for larger batches. The original recipe here was made with a bullet blender, which also works. A standing countertop blender may work for larger batches too, but you may have the most difficulty using this method.
