Nut butters are a staple in my house considering the amount of protein balls I make. However, I will say Homemade Peanut Butter probably tops my list for my favourite nut butter. It acts as a comfort food for me. I’ve admitted it before and I’ll admit it again, I eat it by the spoonful, especially when it is homemade.
You might be wondering how can I make Homemade Peanut Butter at home? Surprisingly it is super simple and only requires 1 obvious ingredient! PEANUTS!
I like to use unsalted roasted peanuts for this recipe. However, if you are a salt lover, feel free to use salted peanuts. Also, even though they are already roasted, I prefer to give them a quick roast again to really enhance that peanut flavour. It also makes the peanut butter nice and dark which is how I prefer it.
Outside of peanuts the only other items you will require is a food processor and of course an oven. Then you are on your way to some Homemade Peanut Butter.
I don’t think I need to mention all the things peanut butter can be used for. In baking, on toast, on bananas or by the spoonful (like I do!)
So keep life simple with this super simple, healthy, vegan and clean recipe!
