Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Roasting the Peanuts
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the raw peanuts evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- 2
Cooling the Peanuts
Remove the peanuts from the oven and let them cool for about 5-10 minutes. This helps prevent them from being too hot when you blend them.
- 3
Blending the Ingredients
Transfer the cooled peanuts to a food processor. Add the salt and honey or maple syrup. If you prefer a creamier peanut butter, add the optional oil. Process the mixture for about 2-3 minutes, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed.

Adjusting Consistency
Continue processing until the peanut butter reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier texture, stop blending earlier. For a smoother texture, blend longer.

Storing the Peanut Butter
Once the peanut butter is ready, transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.
