Ingredients
- 2 cups roasted peanuts
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Blend Peanuts: In a food processor, blend the roasted peanuts for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
- Add Honey and Salt: Add the optional honey and the salt to the peanut butter base, then blend again until these ingredients are fully incorporated and the texture is uniform.
- Store: Transfer the finished peanut butter to an airtight jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use roasted peanuts for the best flavor and a creamy texture.
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or omitting it altogether.
- For crunchy peanut butter, reserve some peanuts, chop them finely, and stir them in after blending.
- Store the peanut butter in the refrigerator to extend its shelf life and prevent oil separation.
