The Best and Easiest Homemade Peanut Butter
Description
This homemade peanut butter recipe uses unsalted, roasted peanuts to create a smooth, creamy spread. The peanuts are roasted gently at 250°F until fragrant and slightly darker to bring out natural oils and deepen flavor. After roasting, the peanuts are processed in a food processor for several minutes until they transform into a thick, creamy butter.
The amount of salt added is flexible, allowing control over the savoriness. The blending process ensures even texture without added sugars or stabilizers. This straightforward approach lets the natural peanut taste shine through in a fresh, preservative-free butter.
The peanut butter can be stored in a jar in the refrigerator for freshness. This recipe suits those who prefer homemade spreads with simple ingredients and complete control over flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces roasted unsalted peanuts (not dry roasted)
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F. Spread the peanuts on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until slightly darker and fragrant.
- Add peanuts to a food processor. Process for 3-5 minutes, until nuts have reached a creamy stage. Add the salt, starting with less and adding more until you achieve the desired taste. Process for another minute.
- Pour into a 16 ounce jar with a lid and refrigerate immediately.
