Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsalted peanuts, roasted
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseed oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing 2 cups of roasted, unsalted peanuts into a food processor. Start the processor and let it run for about 2 minutes until the peanuts are ground and start to resemble coarse crumbs.
Step 2
Add in 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil to the ground peanuts. This oil helps create a smooth texture while adding beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.
Step 3
Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of honey for a hint of sweetness. The honey not only adds flavor but also helps with the consistency of the butter.
Step 4
Sprinkle in 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt to enhance the flavor of the peanuts. Continue to process the mixture for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until it reaches your desired smoothness. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl.
Step 5
Taste the peanut butter and adjust the salt or honey according to your personal preference if necessary.
Step 6
Transfer the peanut butter to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will firm up slightly as it cools but will remain spreadable.
Step 7
Serve and enjoy your heart-healthy peanut butter on bread, with fruits, or in your favorite recipes. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
