How-To Make Peanut Butter

I LOVE peanut butter and am so excited to show you how-to make peanut butter at home with no added oil or sugar.  Homemade peanut butter takes just 5 minutes to make in your food processor and is super easy to do.  So simple and so fun!

If you love peanut butter as much as I do, get ready to be excited.  Homemade peanut butter is even easier to make than homemade almond butter and is undoubtedly better than store bought.

I mean don’t get me wrong, store bought peanut butter can be delicious but only YOU can add the secret ingredient of LOVE when you make it home.

I seriously can’t wait to show you how to do this.

How To Make Homemade Peanut Butter

Prepare yourself for simple deliciousness at it’s best.

1. Place unsalted, roasted peanuts to a food processor.  I try to buy organic whenever I can find them.
2. Turn the food processor on and let it run for a couple of minutes or until the peanut butter looks like a thick paste.
3. Add salt and let it go for another minute or so, or until the peanut butter is smooth and creamy.
4. Transfer to an air tight container and store in the fridge (or in a cool dry place).  Enjoy!

Homemade Peanut Butter Tips + Tricks

While it would be very difficult to mess this recipe up, when learning how-to make peanut butter, there are a few helpful tips to keep in mind.

• Use roasted peanuts instead of raw.  Roasted peanuts have a deeper richer flavor and create a smooth creamy butter. I like to buy them roasted but if needed, you can roast them yourself.
• If you need to roast the peanuts, lay the peanuts on a rimmed baking sheet and cook for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees farenheit.
• Buy organic peanuts if possible.  It can be tricky to find organic peanuts, but whenever I do, I buy them.  This ensures a good high quality nut butter.

Now that you know how to homemade peanut butter,  I can’t wait for you to give it a go!
