Sunflower seed butter is a good substitute for peanut butter.
School is just around the corner and now is a good time to start thinking about what you can pack for school lunches. Many schools have become peanut/tree nut free, making peanut butter a “no-no” to send. But, your child can still enjoy an equally tasty and satisfying substitute to yesteryear’s school lunch staple – the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Suitable peanut butter stand-ins include soy nut and sunflower seed butters. They offer creaminess and a nutty flavor that will win over even the pickiest of eater’s taste buds. Today’s recipe highlights the use of sunflower seed butter. It is sweetened with a dash of cinnamon and a few raisins and then scooped into mini whole wheat pita pockets.
Mini Sunflower Seed Butter Pita Pockets
Ingredients
3 whole, mini pita bread pockets, cut in 1/2 (for a total of six halves)
2 TBS sunflower seed butter (such as Sungold Foods’ SunButter)
1 1/2 TBS raisins
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
Preparation
In a small bowl combine sunflower butter, raisins, and cinnamon. Scoop mixture evenly into the 6 pita pocket halves.
I didn’t know they made an alternative to Peanut Butter!
Sunflower butter sounds good- I may have to try that on the kiddo’s!
