Super simple to make, and so much cheaper than store bought, this Homemade Peanut Butter is just as tasty as any you’d get from a shop.
I am absolutely obsessed with peanut butter at the moment. I am usually an almond butter kind of girl and I hadn’t had peanut butter for years until a few months ago and I was only used to the kind in a jar with all the added crappy ingredients.
Seeing as I make my own almond butter, I thought, why not make my own peanut butter too? It is the exact same process.
People are often amazed that nut butters are this simple to make. You literally just throw everything in and blend it until the desired consistency. Do you like it super smooth? Just blend it for longer.
You can use any nuts you want, or combine them to make a mix. If you are allergic to nuts, but you can eat seeds, then sunflower seed butter works really well too.

Done. That really is it. I kept mine in the fridge and it is usually gone in a couple of days – I just can’t stay away from it.

I made this recipe using cashews last night. It tastes really good but it came out very dry with no oil separation at all. I was wondering if this is normal or if there is something I can do to improve this.
Thank you

Some nuts work better than others. Peanuts are best, as they are very oily naturally. I find that roasting the nuts before can help release some of the oil.

If you live in Florida, Publix supermarket sells fresh ground peanut butter with no additives! Yeah. I eat reduced calorie PB but I do worry about the extra chemicals. Thanks for you recipe.

when you grind sesame seeds into a paste that is traditionally called tahini (and olive oil is sometimes added to the tahini but not necessary) and is used to make humus.
