Description
A delightful blend of roasted peanuts transforms into a creamy, spreadable treat that’s perfect for toast, pancakes, or as a dip for fruits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups roasted peanuts
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons peanut oil (optional for creaminess)
Instructions
- Begin by placing the roasted peanuts into a food processor, ensuring they are evenly distributed at the bottom for efficient blending.
- Blend the peanuts for about 1 minute until they break down into a gritty paste.
- Scrape down the sides of the processor as needed and continue to blend for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add the salt and optional sweetener, then blend again until well combined. If thicker than desired, incorporate 1-2 tablespoons of peanut oil gradually.
- Transfer the peanut butter into an airtight container for storage.
Notes
Store homemade peanut butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 weeks. Stir before using as natural oils may separate.
