Ingredients
- 250 grams Unsalted roasted peanuts
- 1 tablespoon Peanut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Place all the roasted peanuts in a food processor. Blend on high speed for about 3-4 minutes until the peanuts start releasing their oils and the texture becomes pasty.
Step 2
Pause the processor and scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
Step 3
Add the peanut oil and salt to the mixture. If you are using honey or maple syrup, add it at this time.
Step 4
Continue blending the mixture for an additional 2 minutes or until the paste becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 5
For a lower fat content, gradually add water one tablespoon at a time and blend until fully incorporated and the texture is to your liking. The water helps reduce the density of oils and adds a lightness to the peanut butter.
Step 6
Taste the peanut butter. Adjust salt or sweetness if needed. Blend again briefly to mix any adjustments.
Step 7
Transfer the peanut butter to an airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or refrigerated for up to 1 month.
Step 8
Enjoy your homemade low fat peanut butter on toast, fresh fruits, or as a cooking ingredient.
