Homemade Peanut Butter

Tweet

There is nothing more homey than a good ole’ fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I’ll start by apologizing to the folks that have peanut allergies…but there is a caveat; you can make this recipe with almost any popular nut! Not only can you control the sweet, salty, creamy, chunky factors, but you can add extra touches to make your peanut butter your own. I added orange zest to mine and it is amazing! Who woulda thunk?

So, this recipe is super easy, minimal ingredients, minimal equipment and cheaper to make than it is to buy. YOU get to control exactly how you like your peanut butter! This recipe is geared towards the creamy and chunky peanut butter combo. I like the effects of both. Sweetened with organic honey, salted with large flake Kosher salt, a bit of canola and water…..that’s it! All you need is 20 minutes and a food processor and you will be making nut butters non-stop. It really is that easy and that satisfying!

You can also use this peanut butter in the Salted Caramel Peanut Butter Fudge. That is a delicious two-fer!
