Description
If you’re looking for a homemade peanut butter recipe that’s free from additives and preservatives, this is it! All you need are peanuts and a little love. Plus, it’s so easy to make, you’ll wonder why you ever bought the jarred stuff. Let’s get nutty!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups unsalted roasted peanuts (preferably dry roasted)
- 1–2 tbsp peanut oil (optional, depending on your desired consistency)
- 1 tsp honey (optional for a touch of sweetness)
- Pinch of salt (optional, depending on your taste)
Instructions
- Blend the peanuts:
Add the roasted peanuts to a food processor. Blend on high for about 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides as necessary. The peanuts will start out chunky and gradually turn into a crumbly paste. Keep blending! - Add oil and sweetness:
Once the peanut butter begins to form, add peanut oil, a bit at a time, to reach your preferred consistency. If you like a smoother peanut butter, use more oil. Add honey for sweetness and salt if desired, blending until smooth. - Adjust texture:
If you prefer chunky peanut butter, stop blending when the desired consistency is reached. For creamy peanut butter, continue processing until smooth and velvety. - Store and enjoy:
Transfer your homemade peanut butter to a jar or airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 2-3 weeks. Enjoy it on toast, in smoothies, or straight off the spoon!
Notes
- Roasting Tips: If your peanuts are raw, roast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes before blending.
- Customize Your Peanut Butter: Add a touch of cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavor, or mix in chocolate chips or crushed nuts for a fun twist.
- Natural Oil Separation: Since this peanut butter is all-natural, the oil may separate over time. Just stir it back in, and you’re good to go!
