Ingredients
- 500 grams Unsalted roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the unsalted roasted peanuts into a food processor. You do not need to remove the skins, as they add extra fiber and nutrients.
Step 2
Begin processing the peanuts on a medium setting. After about 1-2 minutes, the peanuts should start to break down and clump together.
Step 3
Pause the processor and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure even texture. Add the olive oil.
Step 4
Continue processing for another 3-5 minutes or until the peanut mixture forms a smooth and creamy consistency.
Step 5
Add the honey and sea salt to the mixture. Honey should be added gradually to taste, providing a natural sweetness without excessive sugar.
Step 6
Process for an additional 1-2 minutes to fully incorporate the honey and salt into the peanut butter, tasting to adjust sweetness or saltiness according to preference.
Step 7
Transfer the freshly made peanut butter into a clean, airtight glass jar.
Step 8
Store the peanut butter in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks, stirring it well before each use as natural oils can separate over time.
