If you’re wanting to learn how to make peanut butter at home, it couldn’t be any easier to make!
Using a food processor:
Dump peanuts in the food processor fitted with an S-blade and process on high until creamy. For me, it takes about 4 minutes. In my old food processor, it took about 8. First, there’ll be ground peanuts, then it’ll start to clump together, and then the clump will break down. Then process it a little more until you’re sure it’s nice and creamy.
For either version:
If you used unsalted peanuts, taste and add salt if desired. You might need more than expected! Store-bought peanuts are very, very salty.
Store in the fridge for up to three months.
- You need to use enough peanuts to go over your food processor blade by about an inch or two.
