Description
Making your own sugar-free peanut butter allows you to skip the preservatives and focus on the intense, natural flavor of roasted nuts. This versatile staple is incredibly easy to prepare and yields a creamy, rich spread perfect for keto-friendly snacking or enhancing your favorite baked goods.
Ingredients
- 2 cups roasted, unsalted peanuts
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil or vegetable oil
- 5-10 drops liquid monk fruit or stevia (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Add the roasted peanuts to a high-powered blender or food processor and pulse until they reach a coarse, meal-like consistency.
- Scrape down the sides of the container and add the oil and liquid sweetener if using.
- Process on high speed in one-minute bursts, scraping as needed, until the mixture transforms into a glossy, smooth butter.
Notes
For the most vibrant peanut flavor, try lightly re-toasting your store-bought roasted peanuts in a dry pan for a few minutes until fragrant before blending. This extra heat helps the natural oils release more efficiently, ensuring an even silkier consistency without needing excessive added oil.
