Equipment

1 High powered blender

Ingredients

1.5 cups Peanuts
1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spread the peanuts out on a parchment paper lined baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden. Let cool fully.
In a high-powered blender, place the peanuts and salt. Cover. Begin to blend at a low to medium speed and be patient.
Use a tamper to help press the mixture down. Blend for 2-4 minutes. Once it starts getting smoother, increase the speed to medium or just above.
Continue to blend, scraping the sides as needed until it’s ultra smooth and almost runny.
Use a silicone spatula to scrape the homemade peanut butter out of the blender and into two small mason jars.
Mix in more chopped peanuts if you wish and store it.

Notes

Roast the peanuts until they are totally golden brown. Otherwise, the peanut butter is harder to make (as the oils don’t come out) and it doesn’t taste as yummy.

You’ll need a tamper for the recipe. I make my peanut butter in a Vitamix and use the tamper that came with it. If you don’t have one, you’ll have to stop and scrape a lot.
Be patient, it takes time for it all to mesh together.

Roasting the peanuts brings out the oils needed for them to breakdown.

The recipe makes roughly ¾ cups of peanut butter and the serving size is based on 2 tablespoons.
