Easy Homemade Peanut Butter

Make rich, creamy, and natural peanut butter at home using just peanuts and a pinch of salt! This homemade version is smooth, customizable, and free from preservatives or added oils. Perfect for spreading, baking, or spooning straight from the jar.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups roasted unsalted peanuts

• ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

• 1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

• 1-2 tbsp peanut oil or neutral oil (optional, for extra creaminess)

Instructions:

1. Blend Peanuts:

   • Place the roasted peanuts and salt in a high-powered food processor.

   • Process on high speed for about 5-8 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.

     • It will go through stages: crumbs → thick paste → creamy butter.

2. Adjust Flavor & Texture:

   • Taste and add honey/maple syrup if you like it sweet.

   • For extra smoothness, drizzle in peanut oil a little at a time while blending.

3. Store:

   • Transfer to an airtight jar or container.

   • Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the fridge for up to a month.

Tips:

• Use honey-roasted peanuts for a naturally sweet twist.

• Add cinnamon, vanilla, or cocoa powder for fun flavors.

• For crunchy peanut butter, reserve ¼ cup peanuts, chop roughly, and stir them into the finished butter.
