Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds (optional + other seeds if desired)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (or coconut oil*)
- salt
- splash of maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Toast pumpkin seeds (optional): Although optional, I prefer to toast the pumpkin seeds first for a deeper flavor. If roasting, spread the pumpkin seeds evenly on a baking sheet and roast them at 350F for 8-10 minutes until edges of the seeds are golden brown. Remove and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Blend seeds: Add the pumpkin seeds to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until you have a fine powder.
- Add salt and maple syrup: Add the salt and maple syrup (if using), then with the blender or food processor running, drizzle the liquid oil in. The butter will become thick and clumpy at first.
- Blend to creamy consistency: Blend for 3-5 minutes until you have a smooth and creamy pumpkin seed butter. Add extra oil as needed to reach your desired consistency. Pause and scrape down the sides of your blender or the bowl of your food processor as needed.
- Taste and adjust: Taste and add more salt or maple syrup as desired.
Notes
- Toasting pumpkin seeds is optional but recommended for deeper flavor.
- Use hemp seeds or other seeds to customize flavor and texture.
- Add extra oil as needed to adjust butter consistency.
