Homemade Peanut Butter
Make the best homemade peanut butter with just 1 ingredient: peanuts! Smooth, creamy, naturally delicious, and ready in 5 minutes. Perfect for baking, spreading, and snacking.
Ingredients
- 3 cups roasted peanuts
- pinch of salt, if your peanuts are unsalted
Instructions
- Blend the peanuts: Add the peanuts (and salt, if your peanuts are unsalted) to a food processor. Blend for 2-5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until it becomes smooth and creamy. It may take longer depending on how powerful your food processor is. Be patient - it will get there!
- Store and enjoy: Once smooth and creamy, transfer your homemade peanut butter to small glass jars. Store in the pantry for up to 1 week, or in the fridge for up to 1 month. This recipe yields about 2 cups of peanut butter.
Notes
- Use roasted peanuts: Helps release oils faster for a creamier texture. You can buy roasted peanuts, or roast them yourself on a baking sheet at 350°F for 10 minutes
- Add a pinch of salt: Enhances all the flavors
- Be patient while blending: The peanuts will go from crumbly → thick → clumpy → smooth. Just keep blending, it can take 2-5 minutes depending on your food processor
- Scrape down the sides: Keeps everything blending evenly
