Equipment

Food Processor

Ingredients

2 cup dry roasted peanuts salted or unsalted
2 tbsp honey or 1 tbsp agave
pinch kosher sea salt optional

Instructions

Place the peanuts in a food processor. Turn the food processor on and let it run for about 4 minutes. The peanuts will go from crumbs to a ball, then to creamy peanut butter.
Turn off the food processor, and add the honey (or agave) and salt (if using unsalted, I'd suggest tasting the peanut butter and adding salt to taste).
Continue to process for 1-2 minutes until combined.

Notes

You can use honey roasted peanuts—just omit or reduce the honey or agave, and skip the pinch of salt completely.
If you have raw peanuts, bake them for 10 minutes at 350°F (180°C), then let them cool before adding them to your food processor.
If your peanut butter is too thick, add 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil, but only after blending for 5-6 minutes. You’ll be surprised by the texture after the full time. Note: a quality food processor makes all the difference!
For chunky peanut butter, chop an additional 1/4 cup of dry roasted peanuts and fold them in before storing.
I store my peanut butter in the fridge to prevent it from going rancid, especially in the summer. I just remove it 20 minutes before using it.

STORE Honey Peanut Butter in an airtight jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. I recommend keeping it in the fridge to prevent it from going rancid, especially during warmer months.

Simply remove it 15-20 minutes before use to soften. You can also FREEZE it for up to 6 months. Thaw completely in the fridge, then stir well to re-incorporate the oils before using.
