Homemade Peanut Butter

It’s about that time!!

Time to make another batch of Peanut Butter.

I have a quick and easy method that takes me no time at all to make.

Make sure you have your food processor ready.

I start out by getting a 16oz bag of peanuts.

That’s it….. no added sugar, salt, or oils.

I use these Honey Roasted Peanuts from Trader Joe’s.

You can use any nuts that you want.

Salted, Unsalted, Almonds, or my favorite, Cashews.

I dumped the peanuts in the processor and watch it go.

The peanuts go through various stages in the about 5-8 minutes as it goes from peanuts to peanut butter:

crushed peanuts,

crushed into a fine powder,

a paste,

a thicker paste,

and then a big peanut butter “dough ball” will form.

Then the ball will break down

over a couple of minutes it will turn smooth

The longer you process it the creamier it gets.

Until you get this joy in a jar!

It can’t get any easier than that!
