  1. Prepare the Peanuts:

    • If you have raw peanuts, roast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until they are golden brown. Let them cool before using.
  2. Blend the Peanuts:

    • Place the roasted peanuts in a food processor. Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes. Initially, the peanuts will turn into a crumbly mixture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Add Sweetener and Salt:

    • Once the peanuts start to form a paste, add honey or maple syrup and salt. Blend again until well combined.
  1. Adjust Consistency:

    • If you prefer a creamier texture, gradually add peanut oil while blending until you reach your desired consistency.
  2. Taste and Adjust:

    • Taste your peanut butter and adjust the sweetness or saltiness according to your preference.
  3. Store:

    • Transfer the peanut butter to a clean jar or airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Enjoy!

Spread your homemade peanut butter on toast, pancakes, or use it in smoothies and desserts. Enjoy the rich flavor and creamy texture knowing it’s made just the way you like it!
