Event details:
What you'll need:
1. 1 cup (230g) raw, unsalted sunflower seeds
2. 1 cup (160g) hemp hearts
3. Stevia to equal 8 teaspoons sugar
4. 1/2 cup (50g) carob powder
5. 1/4 cup (60mL) coconut oil
6. Budget friendly: Moderate (hemp hearts tend to be pricey)
How to put it together:
1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Put the sunflower seeds on baking sheets lined with fresh parchment paper.
2. Toast the sunflower seeds for 10 minutes, then stir and return to the oven. Turn off the oven and toast the seeds another 5 to 10 minutes. You want them just golden brown but not dark brown or burnt. Taste a few if you aren’t sure.
3. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the toasted seeds cool for 15 minutes.
4. Put the toasted seeds in a food processor fitted with the S-blade or a high-speed blender and blend into a fine powder, about 1 minute.
5. Add the hemp hearts and stevia and blend for about 4 more minutes, stopping every minute to scrape down the sides. Eventually it will form a ball and become nut butter. Use the tamper if you have a Vitamix.
6. In a separate bowl, blend the carob powder with the oil, then add the mixture to the nut butter. (If you add the carob powder and oil directly to a food processor, you will have a powdery carob explosion that is not fun to clean up.)
7. Continue blending until you get the smooth consistency you want.
8. Serve right away or transfer to a glass jar and store in the refrigerator. It will be spreadable when refrigerated, and just a little thicker than Nutella at room temperature. Eat within a month.
