Homemade Peanut Butter



I've been so excited to make homemade peanut butter. About a year ago, Michael and I started eating natural ground peanut butter from Whole Foods and other healthy grocery stores (thanks R2!) Peanut butter (among pretty much everything else) is ridiculously expensive here in the city. We decided (since we eat so much peanut butter) it would be worth buying peanuts in bulk on Amazon and make our own. The result - delicious and super easy!!



All you have to do is throw some peanuts in a food processor and process until the butter is the consistency you desire. I made it creamy this time around so I waited until the butter clumped up in a ball before turning off the processor.

A few other quick ideas - 
  • add some honey
  • make it crunchy (process less)
  • add some cinnamon
  • add ground hot pepper for some spice




Enjoy!
