Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams raw or roasted peanuts
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon neutral oil (such as peanut or sunflower oil, optional)
Instructions
If using raw peanuts, roast them in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 8–10 minutes until golden and aromatic. Allow them to cool completely before proceeding.
Add the peanuts to a high-speed blender or food processor. Pulse a few times to break them down into small pieces.
Continue processing the peanuts on high speed. They will go through several stages: first resembling coarse crumbs, then forming a thick paste, and eventually transforming into a creamy peanut butter as the oils release.
Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor to ensure even blending.
Once the peanut butter is smooth and creamy, add the salt for seasoning. If you prefer slightly sweet peanut butter, add honey or maple syrup at this stage. Blend again to incorporate.
For an even smoother consistency, add a small amount of oil (1 teaspoon) and blend until fully mixed.
Transfer the peanut butter to a clean, airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks or at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
