Ingredients

  • 2 pounds dry roasted peanuts
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the peanuts to a large food processor, seal, and process for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the food processor every minute.
  2. Add the salt when the peanut butter is nearly smooth but is still a little lumpy and blend for another minute.

Notes

  • Storage: Store homemade peanut butter in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month or in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
  • This recipe makes 3-3 ½ cups of peanut butter.
  • Make sure to scrape down the side of the food processor occasionally. This will help incorporate everything.
  • You will be able to see a change from solid peanuts to smooth butter as the peanuts begin to release their oils. This can take a few minutes.
  • If you like the flavor of honey roasted peanuts, you can use them in this recipe instead of using dry roasted peanuts.
  • Add some chopped peanuts for chunky peanut butter.
  • If you don’t have an airtight container, consider storing the peanut butter in a mason jar to keep it fresh.
