Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Roasted peanuts
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Neutral-flavored oil (e.g., peanut or vegetable oil)
Instructions
Place 1 1/2 cups of the roasted peanuts into a food processor, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup.
Process the peanuts in the food processor on high speed for about 2-4 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides. The peanuts will transform from a crumbly texture to a smooth butter as their natural oils are released.
Add the salt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and oil to the food processor. Process for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Chop the reserved 1/2 cup of roasted peanuts into small pieces to create the crunchy texture. You can do this by pulsing the peanuts in the food processor a few times or chopping them with a knife.
Stir the chopped peanuts into the creamy peanut butter mixture until evenly distributed.
Transfer the crunchy peanut butter spread to an airtight container or jar, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
