Ingredients
- 2 cups roasted unsalted peanuts
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1-2 tablespoons peanut oil (optional, for smoother consistency)
Instructions
- Place the roasted peanuts in a food processor fitted with the steel blade.
- Process for 1 minute, then scrape down the sides. The peanuts will go from chopped to a thick paste.
- Continue processing for 2-3 more minutes, scraping as needed, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add salt and sweetener (if using) and process briefly to combine.
- If the peanut butter is too thick, add oil 1 tablespoon at a time and process until desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer to an airtight jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Tips
- For crunchy peanut butter, stir in 1/4 cup chopped peanuts after processing.
- Allow the peanut butter to come to room temperature before spreading for easier handling.
- Stir natural peanut butter before each use as oil may separate.
