Description
A simple and nostalgic recipe for creamy homemade peanut butter, perfect for spreading or adding to your favorite dishes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups dry roasted peanuts (½ salted and ½ unsalted)
- Oil, if needed, to bring the peanut butter together
- 1 pinch salt, if needed
- 1 tsp honey, if your peanut butter is too salty
Instructions
- Prepare the peanuts: Drop your dry roasted peanuts into a blender or food processor.
- Process: Blend the peanuts for about 5 minutes. At first, they will look whole, then crumbly, and finally, they will turn into a creamy, dreamy consistency.
- Adjust texture: If your peanut butter seems a bit too thick, add oil slowly until you achieve your desired creaminess.
- Taste and salt: Check the flavor of your peanut butter. Add a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of honey for sweetness if necessary.
- Store: Transfer your peanut butter into an airtight jar. Store it in the fridge for up to 3 months.
Notes
Customize your peanut butter with additions like cocoa powder, cinnamon, or nuts for unique flavors.
