Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon neutral oil (such as avocado oil)

Optional addition:

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the pumpkin seeds evenly. Bake the seeds for 13-15 minutes, until evenly browned. Remove from the oven and let the pumpkin seeds cool completely.
  • Place the seeds in your food processor and add the oil, salt and optional vanilla extract. Blend for about 20 minutes, stirring intermittently, until it becomes smooth.
  • Add the maple syrup and blend for a few more seconds until it's mixed in.

Notes

  1. If you want to make this butter sugar free, omit the maple syrup and add an extra 2 tablespoon of oil.
  2. Nutritional values are an estimate and will vary depending on the exact ingredients used and the serving size.
