Homemade Peanut Butter
Ingredients
For the Peanut Butter
- 2 pounds roasted, unsalted peanuts
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
- 1
If using a canned product, carefully open the can of roasted, unsalted peanuts using a can opener.
⏱️ 1 min
- 2
Pour approximately 2 pounds of the peanuts into a food processor. Adjust the quantity based on your food processor's capacity to avoid overfilling.
⏱️ 1 min
- 3
Add 2 teaspoons of kosher salt to the peanuts in the food processor. This follows a ratio of 1 teaspoon of salt per pound of peanuts.
⏱️ 1 min
- 4
Secure the lid on the food processor and begin processing. Initially, the peanuts will break down into a crumbly, wet sand-like texture.
⏱️ 2 min
- 5
Stop the food processor, remove the lid, and use a spatula to scrape down any peanut crumbs and salt that have adhered to the sides of the bowl or the lid. This ensures even processing.
⏱️ 1 min
- 6
Replace the lid and continue processing. As the peanuts blend further, they will release their natural oils, gradually transforming into a thick, smooth, and spreadable peanut butter. Process longer for a smoother, thinner consistency, as no stabilizers are used.
⏱️ 10 min

Once the desired texture is achieved, transfer the homemade peanut butter into an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to two weeks or in the refrigerator for up to one month.
