Homemade Peanut Butter


Homemade peanut butter is literally the easiest thing you can possibly make. Literally, you just put unsalted peanuts in a food processor and turn it on.

That's it! I promise there's nothing else to it! When it starts, it is loud because the peanuts are still dry. As it spins, the peanuts release their oils and become creamy. It'll follow the blade around in a clump when it's just about done.

Here's my latest batch:


The only thing I recommend is that you watch the consistency, because you can get it as smooth or somewhat crunchy as you want. I like the above consistency where it's not super smooth, but if I let it keep running it would get that creamy look to it. If you like chunks of peanuts in your butter, add them in at the end by folding them in with a spoon.

Remember, you can make your own nut butter with this same method with any type of nut!
