Homemade Peanut Butter
Homemade Peanut Butter is a simple way to enjoy a classic spread without any added preservatives. With just two ingredients—roasted peanuts and sea salt—you can create a creamy, delicious peanut butter that's perfect for sandwiches, baking, or simply spreading on toast.
Ingredients
- 375 g peanuts blanched (aka skin removed)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 150C.
- Spread the peanuts over a baking tray and bake for 10 - 15 minutes, tossing halfway through. You want them to be super well roasted, but be very careful not to burn them! Roasting them releases all the oils, making the peanuts really easy to blend, so don't skip this step.
- Allow the peanuts to cool for 10 minutes then transfer to a high speed blender or food processor and blend. Depending on your machine it could take anywhere between 5 minutes and 20 minutes for your peanuts to turn into peanut butter. Just keep blending and you'll be amazed at how they transform. Add the salt towards the end.
- Transfer to a sterilised/freshly cleaned jar and enjoy!
Notes
- Roast Evenly: Ensure the peanuts are evenly spread on the baking tray to roast uniformly.
- Be Patient: Blending can take time; keep going until you reach your desired consistency.
