Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Valencia peanuts (unsalted, roasted)
- 2 tablespoons Flax seeds
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Neutral oil (e.g., peanut or avocado oil, optional)
Instructions
Begin by preheating a skillet over medium heat. Toast the flax seeds for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become aromatic and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a high-powered blender or food processor, add the roasted Valencia peanuts. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
Once the peanuts begin to release their natural oils and form a paste, add the toasted flax seeds, sea salt, and honey (if using). Continue blending until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. This may take an additional 2-3 minutes.
If the mixture seems too thick, you can add 1 teaspoon of neutral oil to achieve your desired consistency.
Taste the peanut and flax seed butter, and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding a pinch more salt or an extra drizzle of honey.
Transfer the peanut butter into a clean, airtight jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Enjoy your Valencia Peanut and Flax Seed Butter on toast, in smoothies, with fruit, or straight off the spoon!
