Last week for my Crop of the Month series, I featured a recipe utilizing a product called SunButter. This week, I am sharing a homemade sunbutter with flair. I am hands down a Nutella lover. Give me a spoon and a jar of it and I’m good. If you’re a Nutella lover like I am, you’ll love this recipe. I was amazed at how simple and quick it was to make. And the recipe yielded a fair amount of Sunflower Nutella.
Just like with SunButter, this recipe would be a great alternative for anyone who suffers from tree nut allergies. It goes great on toast, as a dipping sauce for fruits, and to eat with a spoon. While it doesn’t carry the same fine texture as nutella, the taste is incredible. For anyone who is a lover of SunButter or homemade sunflower butter, this is a must try!
