Ingredients
  

  • 8 Cups Unsalted, roasted peanuts *see notes for optional extras

Instructions
 

Blend Peanuts

  • Add roasted peanuts to a food processor and blend until they break down into a meal. Continue blending until creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Depending on your food processor, this may take a few rounds or it may happen very quickly. Just keep an eye on the consistency.

Adjust and Flavor (Optional)

  • If needed, add a teaspoon of nut oil smoother blending. Add a pinch of salt or other flavorings (honey, cinnamon, etc.) if desired, and blend until combined.

Jar and Store

  • Transfer the finished peanut butter into clean, airtight jars. Store in a cool, dry place. Stir before using if there's any oil separation. Enjoy!

Notes

Approximately 2 cups of unsalted peanuts yield 1 cup of peanut butter.
Oil: If needed, add a little peanut oil or neutral flavored oil to help the peanuts blend. Personally, I don't use any extra oil but it can be added if needed to get your peanuts blending. 
Salt: Add a little salt at the end if you like salted peanut butter. Start with a very small amount and taste it as you go. 
Honey or Maple Syrup: Adding honey, maple syrup or sugar will give the peanut butter a sweet flavor. Start with 2 tbsp and taste to see if you want to add more. 
Cinnamon: Cinnamon flavored peanut butter is a wonderful gift to give to friends and family, especially around the holiday season! Start with 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, taste it and add more to your liking. This also pairs really well with the addition of brown sugar.
