Description
Are you wondering how to make your own peanut butter at home? This peanut butter requires just a few ingredients and can be made in 5 minutes in a food processor!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 cups dry, shelled, roasted peanuts
- 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
- 2 tbsp white sugar or honey (optional)
Instructions
- In a clean food processor, place your shelled peanuts and salt. Let the machine run for 4-5 minutes while the peanuts transition from a sandy texture into a creamy consistency.
- Add as much sugar or honey as you’d like to suit your taste, and then let the machine run for another minute to incorporate fully.
- Pack this rich, yummy nut butter in an airtight mason jar and keep it at room temperature if you plan to use it right away. If you want it to last for a few weeks or a month, preserve it in your refrigerator.
- That’s it! The peanut butter is ready for sandwiches or enjoying right away!
Notes
- Make sure your hands and the equipment you use are clean to avoid contamination.
- If you don’t have glass mason jars, airtight plastic containers (with lids), zip-top bags, or vacuum-seal bags will also work to store your peanut butter.
