Love peanut butter but tired of store-bought versions? As a home cooking enthusiast with years of experimenting in the kitchen, I've mastered this simple method that will change how you enjoy it forever.
Peanut butter is essentially just blended peanuts—no fancy additives needed.
With a blender and raw peanuts, you can whip up fresh peanut butter in minutes.
Start by blending your desired amount of plain peanuts until they turn into a creamy paste.
For the smoothest results without bitterness, roast the peanuts in the oven for a few minutes first—the skins will slip right off when rubbed.
For reference, 250g of peanuts yields about one jam jar of butter.
The result is naturally slightly crunchy. For extra creaminess, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of peanut oil or honey.
Free of preservatives, it stays fresh for 8-10 days—store in the fridge for best results, though room temperature works too.
Beyond toast, use it as a butter substitute in your favorite cookie recipes.
