This homemade peanut butter recipe is quick, easy, and incredibly creamy. Made with just one ingredient — roasted peanuts — it’s a healthy, customizable spread that’s free from additives and preservatives.

Ingredients

  • 2–3 cups roasted, unsalted peanuts
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
  • Optional: 1-2 teaspoons peanut or vegetable oil (for creamier texture)

Instructions

  1. Add roasted peanuts to a food processor.
  2. Process for 3-5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. First, the peanuts will turn into crumbs, then a dry ball, and eventually into smooth, creamy peanut butter.
  4. Optional: Add a pinch of salt, sweetener, or oil if desired for flavor or texture.
  5. Process again briefly to combine any added ingredients.
  6. Transfer the peanut butter to an airtight container and store at room temperature or in the fridge.

Notes

  • Use roasted peanuts for the best flavor.
  • Add oil only if the texture is too thick or dry.
  • Sweetener is optional and can be adjusted to taste.
  • Peanut butter thickens slightly when stored in the fridge.
  • Can be stored at room temperature for up to 1-2 weeks, or refrigerated for longer shelf life.
