Peanut butter and jelly? That’s old news. These days, we’re much more excited about alternative nut and seed butters on our sandwiches, particularly when they’re homemade with only 3 ingredients, like this one! Made without nuts or peanuts, this sunflower seed butter is a great allergen-friendly spread and vegetable dip. Leave in as many chunks as you’d like or go completely smooth, just be sure to serve it with equally exciting chia seed jam instead of sugar-laden jelly.
