Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw unsalted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., peanut oil or vegetable oil)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the raw unsalted peanuts evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast the peanuts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
Reserve 1/2 cup of the roasted peanuts and set them aside for later to maintain the chunky texture.
Transfer the remaining peanuts to a food processor. Blend for 2-3 minutes, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the mixture turns into a creamy paste.
Add the honey (if using), salt, and oil. Blend again for 1-2 minutes until smooth and well combined.
Roughly chop the reserved roasted peanuts and stir them into the peanut butter mixture by hand to create the chunky texture.
Taste and adjust sweetness or saltiness as desired. If the consistency is too thick, add a small amount of additional oil and mix again.
Transfer the chunky peanut butter spread into a clean, airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks, stirring as needed before use.
