Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter
- 2 cups roasted unsalted peanuts
- 1/2 tsp salt (optional, but recommended)
Optional Add-Ins
- 1–2 tbsp sweetener (sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup)
- 1–2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1–2 tbsp seeds (hemp, chia, ground flaxseed)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Peanut oil (if needed when using other add-ins)
Instructions
- Add peanuts and salt to a food processor or high-powered blender (like a Vitamix).
- Pulse the peanuts for 1 minute. They will form into a dry, crumbly, and gritty flour. Scrape down the sides of the container with a spoon or rubber spatula. Process the peanuts again for 2-3 minutes. It will start to form into a thick paste. Continue pulsing/blending for 1-2 minutes. Eventually, the peanuts will form into a smooth and creamy butter. If you are including add-ins, add them now and blend together until smooth.
- Transfer peanut butter to a lidded jar or container.
Notes
- Omit the salt if you’re already using salted peanuts.
- Store peanut butter in the refrigerator. It will keep for several weeks.
