Homemade Peanut Butter - incredibly simple, no fillers, additives or sweeteners. Just peanuts and salt for better-than-store-bought Homemade Peanut Butter.
Roast peanuts: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread peanuts out on lined baking sheet and roast for about 10 minutes.
Blend: Transfer the warm peanuts to a food processor or blender (for chunky peanut butter, set ½ cup peanuts aside to add later). Pulse a few times until peanuts are roughly chopped. Run the food processor continuously for 10 minutes, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed.
Finish up: After 10 minutes, the peanut butter should be smooth. Add salt and other additions including extra peanuts at this time and blend for another 1-2 minutes.
Voila! Transfer your wonderful homemade peanut butter to a reusable glass container!
Notes
LEFTOVERS/STORAGE: It will keep for a couple weeks (or longer!) in the fridge. Store in a glass mason jar. NUTRITION NOTES: Peanuts are technically a legume and are packed with antioxidants, vitamin E, and fiber. They’re also high in calories so it’s good to keep portion sizes in mind. SERVING SUGGESTIONS: This is great as a substitute for almond butter. Perfect on toast, in oatmeal, in a peanut butter and jam sandwich, on pancakes, or even just by the spoonful!
