Method
-
step 1
Tip the pumpkin seeds into a frying pan in a single layer and toast on a low heat for 5-8 minutes, tossing every few minutes to toast both sides, until they’re turning golden and smell nutty.
-
step 2
Remove from the pan and leave to cool completely.
-
step 3
Tip into a food processor and blitz to a fine powder, this may take up to 10 minutes, so if your blender gets very hot, turn it off and let it cool down before continuing.
-
step 4
Drizzle in the avocado oil and a pinch of sea salt flakes and blend again until you make a smooth paste. Add the date nectar (if using) and blend again.
-
step 5
Spread 1 tbsp of the pumpkin seed butter over toasted rye and serve with the toppings you like. Left-over butter will keep, covered, in the fridge, for 1 week.
Pumpkin seeds are high in protein and full of unsaturated fats, making them high in calories, but high in energy too.
