Ingredients
- 400 g Unsalted roasted peanuts
- 2 tbsp Honey or sugar
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Add the unsalted roasted peanuts to a food processor. Ensure that the bowl of the food processor is dry and clean to avoid any impurities in the peanut butter.
Step 2
Process the peanuts on high speed for about 1 minute. The peanuts will turn into a thick, crumbly mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula if necessary.
Step 3
Continue processing the peanuts for another minute. You'll notice the mixture becomes smoother and creamier. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Step 4
Add honey or sugar, salt, and vegetable oil to the processor. The oil adds extra smoothness, and the sweetener balances the natural savory flavor of the peanuts.
Step 5
Process the mixture for another 1-2 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother butter, process a bit longer.
Step 6
Taste the peanut butter and adjust the salt or sweetness according to your preference, processing again for just a few seconds to incorporate any additions.
Step 7
Transfer the peanut butter to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for longer shelf life, where it can last up to 2-3 months.
