About 60% of schools restrict or disallow peanuts entirely.

SunButter Sunflower Spread, a delicious and healthy alternative to peanut butter, is made from specially roasted sunflower seeds. Each of the recipes in this book is peanut free and tree nut free, delicious, and school safe!

SunButter is free of peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, egg, gluten, and sesame. Our sunflower seeds are grown in a region of the country where peanuts do not grow, eliminating the risk of cross contamination. We know that living with food allergies can be tricky, so we make SunButter simple: Safe and Delicious, Every Time—We Promise.

SunButter has just as much protein as the leading brand of peanut butter, but with one-third less saturated fat, absolutely no trans fats, less sodium, and less sugar too! One serving of SunButter provides more vitamin E, twice as much fiber and zinc, and nearly triple the iron than is provided by one serving of peanut butter! 2 www.SunButter.com 4 5 6 7 8 return Contents Page Serving Suggestions Easy-To-Make Ideas . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25-26 3 Makes 4 Servings Start To Finish – 30 Minutes Makes 6 Muffins Start To Finish – 50 Minutes Crunch Granola Apple Cinnamon Muffins Ingredients ¼ c up SunButter® (we used Natural) ¼ cup honey 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2 cups certified gluten free rolled oats ½ teaspoon kosher salt Ingredients 11/4 cups all-purpose flour 11/2 teaspoons GREEN * baking powder ALERT 1 tablespoon cinnamon Pinch of salt 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 1 large apple, peeled and finely chopped 1/4 cup SunButter® (we used Crunch) 1 egg 1/2 cup milk Directions Heat oven to 325°F. Spray cookie sheet with gluten free non-stick cooking spray. In large microwavable dish, combine SunButter and honey. Microwave 30 seconds on High or until SunButter is melted. Add vanilla, oats, and salt to SunButter mixture. Stir and make sure all oats are evenly coated. Directions Heat oven to 400°F. On prepared cookie sheet, spread mixture in an even layer. Bake 20 minutes, stirring once or twice while baking. Spray 6-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray, or use paper liners. Let cool. Mixture will become crunchy as it cools. In large mixing bowl, sift flour and baking powder. Add cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, and apple. Stir until combined. In a separate bowl, combine SunButter, egg, and milk, stir until SunButter is mostly blended. Green Baked Goods? Not to worry! Add SunButter mixture to dry mixture and stir until just combined. Divide batter equally between muffin cups. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of several muffins comes out clean. Chlorophyll in sunflower seeds reacts with baking soda & baking powder, which may give a greenish cast to your baked goods as they cool. This is completely harmless! (And kind of cool!) A splash of lemon juice added to the recipe may help control the greening, or try reducing the baking soda /powder by one-third. This Green Alert icon indicates a recipe you might want to adjust. Let muffins cool 10 minutes in pan, then remove muffins to wire rack and cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Leftover muffins can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated or frozen. GREEN ALERT *See page 4 for Green Alert information. e!

Spread each half with 1 tablespoon SunButter. Directions In small bowl, combine strawberries, lemon juice, and ginger. Stir and set aside.

In large bowl, mix ground beef with salt and pepper and shape into four patties. Gently press down center of each patty until it’s about 1/2-inch thick to make a slight depression; this will prevent burgers from turning bulbous as they cook. Grill patties, uncovered and without pressing down on them, until they’re seared on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip burgers and continue grilling to desired temperature: 3 minutes for rare, 4 minutes for medium, and 5 minutes for well-done. Sunflowers The sunflowers grown for SunButter are a unique variety—not used for anything else! They are chosen for their consistency, hardiness, and for their delicious taste! While burgers are cooking, heat small saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour strawberry mixture into pan and sauté until soft and syrupy and reduced to about 1/2 cup. Allow to cool. In microwavable dish, heat SunButter until thinned, about 40 seconds on High. (Or heat on stove in small saucepan until thinned.)
