Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsalted roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Place the unsalted roasted peanuts in a food processor and begin processing. Run the processor until the peanuts break down into a crumbly mixture.
Pause the processor and scrape down the sides to ensure all peanuts are evenly processed. Continue to process, and the mixture will start to smooth out.
After the mixture looks relatively smooth, add the honey, peanut oil, vanilla extract (if using), and salt. Process again for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Taste the peanut butter. Adjust sweetness or salt to your preference by adding more honey or a pinch more salt, if necessary.
Transfer the peanut butter into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Stir well before using, as natural oils may separate over time.
