Ingredients

  • 2 cups roasted, unsalted peanuts

Optional

  • 2-4 teaspoons peanut oil if needed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt if desired
  • 1 teaspoon honey or molasses if desired

Instructions

  • Put the peanuts in the food processor. Process for several minutes. At first it will look like very crumbly.
  • Continue processing. As the oil is released, the crumbly pieces will start to stick together, and then the peanut butter will clump together in a large ball as it takes on a paste-like consistency. Add oil if needed to keep it smooth, 1 teaspoon at a time.
  • Add sweetener and/or salt to taste and continue processing until the peanut butter reaches the desired consistency.
