Description
Homemade Peanut Butter is an easy, delicious spread made with simple ingredients. It turns roasted peanuts into a smooth and creamy butter that is perfect for toast, sandwiches, desserts, smoothies, and snacks. Making it at home also lets you control the sweetness, saltiness, and texture.
Ingredients
- 4 cups roasted unsalted peanuts
- 1–2 tablespoons vegetable oil or peanut oil
- 1–2 tablespoons honey, optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add the roasted peanuts to a food processor.
- Blend until the peanuts become fine and crumbly.
- Continue blending, scraping down the sides occasionally, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add the oil, salt, and honey if desired.
- Blend again until everything is well combined and the peanut butter reaches your preferred consistency.
- Transfer the peanut butter to a clean, dry jar.
- Allow it to settle, then cover tightly and store.
Notes
- Spread it on toast, bagels, pancakes, waffles, or crackers.
- Use it as a dip for apples, bananas, celery, or other fresh fruit.
- Add it to oatmeal, yogurt, smoothies, or milkshakes.
- Use it in cookies, brownies, energy balls, and other desserts.
- For a thicker peanut butter, use less oil or blend the peanuts for a shorter time.
- For extra-smooth peanut butter, continue processing until completely creamy.
- Store homemade peanut butter in a clean, airtight jar.
- Refrigeration is recommended for longer storage and helps maintain freshness.
- Stir well before serving if natural oil separates on the surface.
- Always use a clean, dry spoon to prevent moisture or contamination.
