Ingredients
- 300 g raw, unsalted, and skinless peanuts
- Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 150°C (302°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Roast the peanuts: Spread the raw peanuts evenly on the prepared baking tray and place it in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. This roasting step enhances their flavor and makes them easier to blend.
- Cool the peanuts: Once roasted, let the peanuts cool for a few minutes to make handling safer and to improve the blending process.
- Blend into peanut butter: Transfer the roasted peanuts into a food processor or high-powered blender. Blend at maximum speed in 2-minute intervals, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture turns smooth and creamy, forming a homogeneous peanut butter.
- Store: Transfer the freshly made peanut butter into a glass jar with a lid and store at room temperature. Consume within a reasonable time frame for optimal freshness.
Notes
- You can roast the peanuts longer if you prefer a darker, more intense flavor, but be careful not to burn them.
- For a crunchy variation, reserve some peanuts, chop them roughly, and stir into the smooth peanut butter at the end.
- Add a pinch of salt or a drizzle of honey for additional flavor if desired.
- Storing peanut butter at room temperature is fine, but refrigeration can prolong shelf life especially in warm climates.
