Creamy, rich, and naturally delicious — Homemade Peanut Butter is a simple yet satisfying spread made with just roasted peanuts and a pinch of salt. Perfect for toast, smoothies, baking, or enjoying by the spoonful, this wholesome alternative to store-bought versions is free from additives and full of pure nutty flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 cups unsalted roasted peanuts

• ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

• 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

• 1–2 tbsp peanut oil or neutral oil (optional, for smoother texture)

Directions

• Add peanuts to a food processor and blend for 1–2 minutes. Scrape down sides.
• Continue processing until smooth and creamy (about 4–6 minutes total).
• Add salt, sweetener, and oil if desired, then blend again.
• Taste and adjust seasoning or consistency.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

Notes

• For crunchy peanut butter, add ¼ cup chopped peanuts at the end.
• Try using flavored oils (like coconut oil) for a twist.
• Want chocolate peanut butter? Add 1–2 tbsp cocoa powder during blending.
