Ingredients
- 2 cups roasted peanuts (unsalted or salted)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons neutral oil (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Add the roasted peanuts to a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Blend the peanuts, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.
- The peanuts will turn from crumbs to a thick paste and eventually into a smooth, creamy butter (about 5 to 10 minutes).
- Add oil if needed for a smoother consistency.
- Mix in salt and optional honey or maple syrup to taste.
- Continue blending until you reach your desired texture, smooth or slightly chunky.
- Transfer to a clean jar or airtight container.
Notes
- Peanuts release natural oils, so added oil is optional.
- Blend longer for an extra smooth texture.
- Stir before use if natural oil separation occurs.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
- Add cocoa powder or cinnamon for flavor variations.
