Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Raw or roasted peanuts (unsalted)
- 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., avocado or peanut oil) [optional]
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt [optional]
- 1 tablespoons Honey, maple syrup, or agave (sweetener) [optional]
Instructions
1. Measure out the peanuts. If using raw peanuts, you may want to roast them for richer flavor. To roast, preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and spread peanuts on a baking tray in a single layer. Roast for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, then let them cool completely.
2. Place the peanuts in a high-speed blender or food processor. Begin blending on low speed, gradually increasing as the peanuts start to break down.
3. Blend until the peanuts turn into a creamy consistency. This could take 4-6 minutes depending on your equipment. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender/processor as needed.
4. If the mixture seems too thick, add the neutral oil one tablespoon at a time to reach the desired consistency.
5. Taste test your peanut butter. Add optional salt for seasoning if desired, or mix in a natural sweetener if you'd like a touch of sweetness. Blend again to combine.
6. Once smooth and creamy, transfer the peanut butter to a clean, airtight jar or container.
7. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks. Stir before serving if separation occurs.
