Homemade Peanut Butter (about 24 tablespoons)
Homemade Peanut Butter
This is so easy you will be wondering why you haven't made peanut butter before. All you need is peanuts, almonds or cashews . You can also add a very small amount of peanut oil, a pinch of sea salt, some honey, or a touch of chocolate. Add the extra ingredients right along with the peanuts and blend.
- 3 cups shelled nuts= about 1-1/2 cups peanut butter
|
3 cups (about 24 oz.) roasted nuts, shelled peanuts, almonds or cashews
optional ingredients: oil, sea salt, honey, sesame seeds, chocolate, etc. |
- Place shelled nuts into blender or food processor. Secure the lid. (A food processor works best)
- Turn on machine and blend on low until nuts are ground.
- Turn to highest setting and process until peanut butter begins to move freely through the blades.
- Stop the machine once or twice during blending to scrape down the sides.
- Continue blending until desired consistency is reached.
- For crunchy peanut butter stop blending when there are still small bits of peanuts in the peanut butter.
- You may need to add a little peanut or canola oil while processing to help smooth the nut butter.
