Ingredients
- 2¼ cups Unsalted Peanuts
- 1 tbsp Honey
- ¾ tsp Salt
Instructions
- If using oven, preheat to 350°F (177°C). Roast nuts in oven or on stove top for 8 minutes, shaking midway. Allow nuts and baking pan/sheet/pot to cool. Let cool until you can handle them.
- Transfer the roasted peanuts to a food processor and process for 1 to 2 minutes,then scrape down sides of the bowl. Continue to process until the peanut butter is smooth.
- Add the salt and honey and continue to process until fully incorporated. Makes roughly 1 cup. 1 serving is 2 tbsp.
Notes
HOW TO STORE: Keep in airtight container, and store in the fridge. If properly stored, a batch of peanut butter can last 3 - 4 months.
VARIATIONS:
More crunchiness: Separate the roasted nuts into thirds and pulse a third of the nuts to the desired size prior to making the butter, set aside and incorporate with a fork after the butter has been made.
For a kick: Add cinnamon to taste.
Chocolate flavour: Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup cocoa powder and 1/4 cup honey.
Cleaning tip:
Soak the bowl of the processor in hot water prior to cleaning.
