If you’re wanting to learn how to make peanut butter at home, it couldn’t be any easier to make!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups (450 grams) peanuts roasted or dry-roasted
  • salt to taste if using unsalted peanuts

Instructions

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.

Using a Blendtec:

  • Add 1 1/2 cups peanuts to the Twister Jar, and process on high, while turning the blade counterclockwise. This usually takes about 40 seconds. Take breaks if your blender starts to get too warm.

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.

Notes

  • You need to use enough peanuts to go over your food processor blade by about an inch or two.
