Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups roasted peanuts (unsalted)
- 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon neutral oil, such as vegetable oil (optional)
Instructions
Add the roasted peanuts into a high-speed food processor or blender. Ensure the peanuts are completely dry and free from moisture.
Begin processing the peanuts on high speed. At first, they will break down into a coarse, crumbly texture. Stop the processor occasionally to scrape down the sides as needed.
Continue processing for 3-5 minutes. The peanuts will go from a coarse texture to a thick paste and eventually turn into smooth peanut butter. Patience is key during this process.
If the peanut butter seems too thick for your liking, add the neutral oil, one teaspoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the peanut butter and adjust with optional honey (or sweetener) and salt as needed. Blend for another 30 seconds to incorporate.
Transfer the finished peanut butter into an airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
