Homemade Natural Peanut Butter
Making peanut butter at home is simple, money saving, and allows you to control the ingredients.
Equipment
- High powered blender with a tamper. I prefer a Vitamix.
Ingredients
- 16 oz Dry Roasted Unsalted Peanuts
- 1/2 t Salt Optional
Instructions
- Dump the peanuts into the canister of a high powered blender.
- Add salt, if preferred
- Start the blender at low speed, until peanuts are in small chunks.
- Gradually increase the speed of the blender as peanuts begin to liquefy.
- Blend until desired consistency.
Notes
In my Vitamix, I start blending at "1" and end at "4" while using the tamper.
The mixture may become warm. This is okay, and will become less runny as the temperature comes down.
I recommend storing this peanut butter in the refrigerator because it does not have the preservatives that store produced peanut butter can contain. It will also prevent the peanut butter from separating, and you won't get a pool of oil on top.
