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 2: Blend the seed butter
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).
Notes
The seed ratio: Feel free to adapt the seeds' ratio slightly based on your favorite flavors and the nutritional values. To eliminate the high omega-6 values, then reduce the sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
To sweeten the seed butter: It's best to slowly mix the liquid sweetener of your choice into the omega spread after it's blended.
If you don’t have a high-speed blender, you may also need a little oil to help the machine blend. If you want to use an oil high in omega-3s; canola oil, flaxseed oil, and walnut oil would work. A pinch of salt would also help to improve the flavor of the seed butter.
