Homemade Peanut Butter
Homemade nut butters are cost effective, easy to make and much more wholesome than store bought. With just 1 ingredient make this yummy spread which you can enjoy with toast, oats, smoothies, etc.
Equipment
- Food processor
- Spatula
- Glass jar (air tight)
Ingredients
- 500 gm Raw Peanuts
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of vanilla
Instructions
- Dry roast the raw peanuts over the stove for 10 mins, low and slow until they are evenly browned and the skins are shedding from the peanuts.
- Transfer to a clean and dry kitchen towel, while still warm bring up the corners of the towel to form a bag and scrunch up the nuts with your hands. This will remove the remaining peanut skins.
- Once done, dump into a sieve and blow out the skins. You don’t want any skins in your butter hence be patient.
- Transfer to the food processor and blend for 15 mins in total depending on the desired texture (read above for more information).
- Keep scraping down the sides every couple of minutes to ensure the mixture has been well incorporated and give your mixer time to relax as well.
- Once smooth, add your vanilla and salt, blend again. Place in a glass jar and store at room temperature for 1 week, in the fridge for 6 weeks and in the freezer for 3 months.
Notes
- Be patient to dry roast the nuts, to clean the skins and to blender them into a butter.
- The timing mentioned in the recipe is an estimate this will vary on the type of nuts being used and the type of mixer being used (read above for more information)
