Homemade Peanut Butter

Experience the velvety richness of homemade peanut butter, crafted from just a handful of pure, wholesome ingredients. This delightful spread is not only a delicious treat but also a versatile staple that elevates your breakfast toast, smoothies, and snacks. With origins that date back to ancient South America, where peanuts were first cultivated, this creamy concoction has become a cherished comfort food across the globe. By making it at home, you can customize its sweetness and texture, ensuring every spoonful is just right for your taste buds.

Serves 16 (2 tablespoons per serving)

Ingredients

Roasted peanuts
2 cups
Vegetable oil
1-2 tablespoons (to taste)
Honey
1-2 tablespoons (to taste)
Salt
1/4 teaspoon (or more to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine the roasted peanuts, salt, and honey.
  2. Process the mixture for 1-2 minutes until the peanuts begin to break down and clump together. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even processing.
  3. Gradually pour in the vegetable oil while continuing to process the mixture. Adjust the amount of oil based on your desired smoothness and creaminess.
  4. Taste your peanut butter and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or salt if desired, processing again to incorporate any additions.
  5. Once you reach your preferred consistency, transfer the peanut butter to a clean jar or container and seal it tightly.
  6. Store the peanut butter in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before each use as natural separation may occur.

Tips

  • 💡 For a chunkier peanut butter, reserve a handful of roasted peanuts, chop them coarsely, and stir them into the smooth mixture after processing.
  • 💡 Experiment with flavors by adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for a unique twist.
  • 💡 If you prefer a sweeter spread, consider using maple syrup instead of honey.
