Homemade Peanut Butter
Homemade peanut butter is creamy and so simple to make. Its a great pantry staple to learn to make.
Growing up I survived on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Our grandfather used to make us special breakfast by doing peanut butter jelly toast. He would always cut off the crust and cut it into small squares. It was such a treat and we had it often. Peanut butter is so versatile and can be used in so many different snacks and desserts. When I realized how much mold can be found in grocery store peanut butter along with unnecessary seed oils I was determined to make it myself. When I realized how easy it really was I was shocked. Just three simple ingredients and a few minutes and you have the most delicious homemade peanut butter to use all week!!
Tools You Will Need
- Food Processor
- Measuring Spoons
- Spatula
- Mason Jar
Ingredients
- Peanuts
- Salt
- Honey
Step By Step Instructions
- Using a food processor or blender pour in peanuts and blend until smooth. This can take a few minutes to get it really smooth. If it is taking longer than anticipated than stop the blender and let it rest for a minute so it doesn’t overheat.
- Add the honey and salt to the peanut mixture and pulse to combine. Store in air tight jar or container.
Tips and Tricks
– You can adjust the honey and salt to your preference. If you want it to taste like store bought than I would definitely do 2 tbsp of honey and 1/2 tsp salt. But you can always adjust it to your liking.
-If you plan to use it within a week than just leave it at room temperature. If you want it to keep longer than I suggest storing it in the fridge.
