Ingredients
- 300 grams Unsalted roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar-free sweetener (such as stevia or erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the peanuts on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 10 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even roasting. This step is optional but enhances the flavor.
Step 2
Let the peanuts cool for a few minutes after roasting.
Step 3
In a food processor, add the cooled roasted peanuts. Process them on high for 1-2 minutes until they start to break down.
Step 4
Add coconut oil, salt, sugar-free sweetener, and vanilla extract to the food processor.
Step 5
Continue processing the mixture, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, until the peanut butter reaches your desired consistency. For a smooth peanut butter, this will take about 4-5 minutes.
Step 6
Taste the peanut butter and adjust the salt or sweetener if necessary, processing again briefly to blend in any additions.
Step 7
Once the peanut butter is ready, transfer it to an airtight jar or container for storage. It can be kept at room temperature for a few weeks or in the fridge for longer freshness.
Step 8
Enjoy this low-carb Peanut Butter spread on keto breads, as a dip for vegetables, or as a base for various low-carb recipes.
