Coconut Peanut Butter
Description
The Coconut Peanut Butter is made by processing dry roasted salted peanuts and unsweetened coconut flakes together until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy texture. The peanuts provide a rich, nutty base while the coconut flakes add a mild sweetness and slight chewiness. Processing time varies from about 2 minutes in a Vitamix to around 10 minutes in a food processor, with occasional scraping to blend evenly. No additional oils or sweeteners are necessary, but sweetened coconut flakes or coconut sugar can be added for a sweeter variation.
The finished product can be used similarly to traditional peanut butter—in sandwiches, recipes, or as a dip. It stores well at room temperature in a sealed jar for up to a month but should be stirred before each use as natural oil separation may occur.
Using dry roasted peanuts enhances the flavor and texture, making this recipe a straightforward alternative to store-bought coconut peanut butter blends.
Ingredients
- 2 cups peanuts roasted, salted
- ⅓ cup coconut flakes unsweetened
Instructions
- First, add peanuts and coconut flakes to Vitamix or food processor.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy. For a Vitamix, this takes about 2 minutes. For a food processor, this takes about 10 minutes.
- Stop and scrape down sides of blender if necessary.
- Once smooth and creamy, pour into a jar!
Notes
- This recipe yields about 1 cup of coconut peanut butter, with each serving around 2 tablespoons.
- Use dry roasted peanuts for best flavor and texture.
- For a sweeter taste, substitute with sweetened coconut flakes or add a small amount of coconut sugar.
- Store the peanut butter in a sealed jar at room temperature for up to one month; stir well before each use.
