Easy Homemade Peanut Butter Recipe
This easy homemade peanut butter is a smooth, creamy, and flavorful vegan spread made from roasted peanuts in just 10 minutes. Naturally oil-free and sugar-free, it's an inexpensive pantry staple perfect for toast, oatmeal, smoothies, or desserts.
Equipment
- 1 Food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups roasted peanuts unsalted, peeled
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt (optional)
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Add the roasted peanuts to a food processor.
- Process on high speed until the peanuts become crumbly. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Continue blending until the peanuts form a thick paste, then keep processing until smooth and creamy. This can take several minutes.
- Add sea salt or maple syrup, if using, and blend briefly to combine.
- Transfer to a clean glass jar, let cool completely, seal, and refrigerate for up to 4 weeks.
Notes
- Using raw peanuts: Roast them at 350°F (180°C) for 10–15 minutes, stirring halfway, until lightly golden and fragrant. Let them cool slightly before processing.
- Be patient: The peanuts will go through several stages—from whole peanuts to crumbs, thick paste, and finally smooth peanut butter.
- Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight glass jar for up to 4 weeks. Always use a clean, dry spoon when serving.
