Had to blend much longer and add some oil, but in the end it turned out amazing!

Made this last week and loved it! We had to keep blending for a good while, it took us around 20-30 minutes to get the texture right so it takes some patience :)
Next time we’re planning to add some cashews for hopefully a creamier texture, as this was still a little bit dry.
The colour turned out just as beautiful as in the pictures and the taste is delicious 😍

Loved this! Would be great on toast with some berries🍓🫐The pumpkin seeds did lose quite some moisture due to the oven so I had to add a few tbs of olive oil to make it smooth instead of crumbly and dry

Hey Cathelijne! Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with the pumpkin seed butter recipe. Based on feedback, we've added a note to the recipe to add oil if needed 🤗

In case it helps, we use conventional heat, so the symbol on our oven shows the top and bottom heating without the fan, with the pan in the middle rack of the oven. In case you use the option with a fan, also called convection bake, the baking time will be less to avoid overly drying the seeds ✨

My son has a nut allergy so I was happy to see a seed-based recipe on here. I followed your tip to keep blending and the texture came out lovely! We had it on toast with some syrup drizzled on top!

Hey Chris, the trick with a smooth nut or seed butter is to keep blending! Often for even 5 minutes after you think it's done, and ideally using a powerful food processor (600W or higher). This can really help the seeds release their natural oils which helps make the consistency more smooth. In case your food processor is not super powerful, you can always add a touch of a neutral flavoured oil to help it out a bit as well. Lastly, for the best results, we recommend using freshly purchased pumpkin seeds because older seeds dry out over time. I hope this helps in case you ever want to give this one another go 🥰
