Homemade Goodness: Easy DIY Peanut Butter Recipe

Been craving homemade peanut butter but didn't know the steps?

then here’s a simple DIY peanut butter recipe with steps:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of roasted peanuts (unsalted)

• 1-2 tablespoons of honey or sugar (optional, for sweetness)

• 1-2 tablespoons of oil (peanut oil, vegetable oil, or coconut oil)

• Pinch of salt (optional, to taste)

Steps:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Make sure your roasted peanuts are cooled if they were heated. You can buy roasted peanuts or roast them yourself at home in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

2. Blend the Peanuts:

   • Place the roasted peanuts in a food processor or a high-powered blender.

   • Blend for about 1-2 minutes. The peanuts will break down into crumbs at first.

3. Add Oil and Continue Blending:

   • As the peanuts turn into a thicker paste, drizzle in the oil gradually to smoothen the texture. Continue blending for another 2-4 minutes.

   • Scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.

4. Sweeten & Season (Optional):

   • Add honey or sugar if you prefer a sweet peanut butter, and a pinch of salt if desired.

   • Blend for another minute to mix everything evenly.

5. Check Consistency:

   • Blend until the peanut butter reaches your preferred consistency (smooth or chunky). If it's too thick, you can add more oil in small amounts.

6. Store:

   • Transfer the peanut butter to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. It will last for about 2-3 weeks.

Enjoy your homemade peanut butter on toast, in smoothies, or as a snack!
