Ingredients
- 500 grams Unsalted roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (such as peanut or canola oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing the unsalted roasted peanuts in a food processor. Ensure the food processor is large enough to handle the peanuts efficiently.
Step 2
Process the peanuts on high speed for about 1-2 minutes. The peanuts will start to break down and look crumbly.
Step 3
Stop the food processor to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure even processing.
Step 4
Continue processing the peanuts on high speed. Gradually, they will go through stages from a thick paste to a smooth and creamy texture. This can take an additional 2-4 minutes.
Step 5
Once the peanuts reach your desired consistency, add the honey and the vegetable oil through the top chute of the food processor and continue to blend for about 30 seconds or until everything is well combined.
Step 6
For a subtle flavor twist, you can add ground cinnamon. Add it at this stage and process for another 10 seconds.
Step 7
Taste the peanut butter and adjust the sweetness or cinnamon as desired.
Step 8
Transfer the peanut butter into a clean, airtight jar. Store it in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. Stir well before each use as slight oil separation is natural.
