Description
Enjoy the rich, authentic taste of homemade nut butter with this simple farmhouse recipe. By roasting your own peanuts and blending them to perfection, you create a wholesome spread that is free from artificial additives and perfectly tailored to your taste.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Peanuts (raw or pre-roasted)
- 2 Tablespoons Peanut Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Honey (optional)
Instructions
- If starting with raw peanuts, roast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 15 minutes until light golden brown and fragrant.
- Place the peanuts into a high-speed blender or food processor and pulse for approximately one minute until they resemble coarse sand.
- Stop the machine and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula, then add one tablespoon of peanut oil and one tablespoon of honey.
- Process for another minute, scraping down the sides again, and repeat the cycle as the natural oils are released and the mixture becomes shiny.
- Continue blending in one-minute cycles, adding the remaining oil and honey, until your desired level of creaminess or silkiness is reached.
- Pour the finished butter into a clean glass jar and store in the refrigerator to settle.
Notes
For the best results, process the peanuts while they are still slightly warm to encourage the natural oils to release more quickly. If you prefer a crunchier texture, pulse a few extra peanuts separately and fold them in at the very end. Always store your homemade butter in the fridge and give it a quick stir if any natural oil separation occurs.
