A nut version of this can be made with cashew nuts. Just use the same recipe here and directions but use 2 1/2 cups of cashew nuts. The resulting butter is just as smooth and creamy with a slightly different taste.

I’m using sunflower seeds for this recipe as they are cheaper, there is a demand for nut-free recipes and honestly, I do eat too many cashew nuts!

This recipe is recreates something similar to trader joes cookie butter or Biscoff biscuit spread. Both of these do however contain wheat/gluten, refined sugar, soya, palm and other oils. This is free of all of these and just made with seeds and sweetener.

The most important part of this recipe is to make sure the seeds are bone dry before taking out of the oven or dehydrator. This is vital as if they still contain moisture they will go off in a few days. Although saying that this cookie butter is usually gone in a few days anyway!

Buckwheat is used here and dried or lightly roasted to help give a biscuity taste. This is a seed so is naturally gluten-free. Many paleo diets don’t allow this seed, even though it’s been soaked, but the recipe still works well without it. If you use buckwheat just make sure that it’s finely ground before you finish blending.

The buckwheat can be substituted with oats. Don’t soak the oats but lightly roast in an oven for 10-15 mins until they start to get a bit of colour. Use gluten-free oats to if you are sensitive to gluten.

Chocolate Cookie Butter

To make chocolate cookie butter just stir in 2 tbsp of raw cacao or normal cocoa powder!

To make just a sprouted sunflower seed 100% pure butter just follow steps 1-3.

Don’t do what I did in the video and blend the buckwheat in the final step. It’s important to blend it with the seeds as once you add the maple syrup the butter loses its liquid property and it becomes more difficult to make. It was still possible to make the butter doing it like this but took a few minutes extra and a few stops to scrape down the sides.

The videos are just for a rough idea of the recipe on social media, it’s best to always read the short steps in the full recipe as this is often updated over time from feedback and when I do the recipe again – and its not possible to update the video once it’s released into the wild.
