Ingredients
- Celery stalks, fresh and crisp
- Sunflower butter, smooth or crunchy
- Raisins, plump and sweet
- Optional: Chia seeds or hemp seeds for extra nutrition
Instructions
- Wash and dry the celery stalks. Trim off the leafy ends and any tough strings. Cut celery sticks about 6 to 8 inches long.
- Scoop sunflower butter into a small bowl. Using a spoon or small spatula, spread a generous layer of sunflower butter into the groove of each celery stick.
- Place raisins evenly along the sunflower butter strip, spacing about 1/2 inch apart.
- Optional: Sprinkle chia seeds or hemp seeds over the top for added crunch and nutrition.
- Arrange the prepared celery sticks on a serving plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
Notes
If sunflower butter is too thick, warm the jar in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to soften it for easier spreading. Remove celery strings for a smoother spread. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours; celery may lose crunch after a day. For a sweeter version, drizzle a little honey (not allergy-friendly).
