Description
Skip the store-bought jars and create your own creamy, sugar-free peanut butter at home in just ten minutes. This simple recipe uses a blender to transform wholesome peanuts into a silky spread that is perfectly customizable for your dietary needs.
Ingredients
- 2 cups peanuts (raw or roasted)
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free liquid sweetener like monk fruit or stevia (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Place the peanuts into a high-speed blender or food processor and process on high for one minute until the nuts look crumbly and dry.
- Stop the machine and use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all pieces are incorporated.
- Add one tablespoon of the peanut oil and one tablespoon of sugar-free sweetener if desired, then process again for another minute.
- Scrape the sides once more, add the remaining oil, and continue processing in one-minute intervals until the mixture reaches a smooth and glossy consistency.
Notes
To vary the depth of flavor, try using a mix of different peanut varieties like Spanish peanuts for higher oil content or Valencia peanuts for a naturally sweeter profile. Always ensure your storage container is completely dry before adding the finished butter to prevent any potential spoilage.
