What Brand of Sunflower Butter Do You Suggest?

Soy butter might be another alternative and you can find it at Walmart where the regular peanut butter is sold. I fashion myself to be somewhat of a peanut butter aficionado (and also love Jif) and it was hard to tell the difference between it and the real thing.

A friend did let me try some of her sunbutter (sunflower butter). I like sunflower seeds and so I liked it as well but it does bear more of a sunflower seed flavor rather than the peanut flavor.

Trader Joe's (Haggerty and 8 mile in Northville) has a great one. My husband likes it better then PB.

Actually I use raw, unsalted butter. Raw milk too. And you might want to try a peanut butter from Whole Foods or Better Health that would be organic.

Sunbutter. It is processed on special equipment, so there is no cross-contamination issue.

You can find it at natural food stores, Whole Foods, and some Krogers.

We use Sunbutter as well. I've also found it at Walmart and Busch's. I woud not recommend the flavor with the flax (?) seeds...it does not imitate chunky peanut butter as you might expect.

Trader Joe's Sunflower seed butter - yum! We eat it all the time - our kids call it Seed Butter and prefer it to peanut butter.

However - don't bake with it. I tried to substitute it for our favorite peanut butter chocolate chip recipe and the cookies came out of the oven emerald green. I learned that something in the sunflower seeds have a chemical reaction with baking soda, when baked. It's totally edible and harmless...but not what you want to have happen when you're trying to get out the door to a bake sale (unless it's St. Patrick's Day, of course!).

While I'm at it - Trader Joe's dark chocolate chips - mmm! Seed butter and a few chocolate chips...*lovely* afternoon pick-me up for this mom! :D
