Homemade Peanut Butter - Vitamix
Description
Homemade Peanut Butter made in a Vitamix requires roasting peanuts and blending them at high speed while using the tamper to encourage smooth blending. The recipe calls for 2 to 4 cups of roasted, unsalted peanuts and optional sea salt for seasoning. Blending transforms peanuts first into ground pieces and then into a creamy butter. You control the salt level by adding it optionally and in small quantities.
The peanut butter is stored in a clean, sealed container and can be kept at room temperature for up to two weeks or refrigerated to extend shelf life, where it may firm slightly without flavor loss. Using unsalted peanuts lets you customize saltiness, while pre-salted peanuts negate the need to add additional salt.
This approach yields natural peanut butter without stabilizers or hydrogenated oils, close to homemade style varieties. It works well as a sandwich spread, an ingredient in baking, or cooking applications that call for peanut butter.
Ingredients
- 2-4 cups peanuts unsalted, roasted
- ⅛-1/4 teaspoon salt optional, sea salt
Instructions
- Add the peanuts and optional sea salt if using to your Vitamix. Blend on high, using your tamper to push the peanuts down while blending, until a smooth consistency is reached. The peanut will quickly go from whole peanuts, to ground up pieces to creamy peanut butter.
- Store in a clean sealed jar or container.
Notes
- Use at least 2 cups of peanuts so the Vitamix can blend effectively.
- For quantities larger than 4 cups, blend in batches.
- If using salted peanuts, omit adding extra sea salt.
- Store peanut butter in a sealed jar at room temperature up to two weeks or refrigerate for longer storage.
