How to make peanut butter
Many commercial nut butters have added palm oil, or E numbers, or have been homogenised to stop the oil rising to the top.
Eww to all those additives and processes!
Making your own PB could not be easier and is quite a lot cheaper than buying a designer nut butter. You can use almonds, cashews or other nuts if you prefer.
- Prep: 10 mins
- Cook: –
- Servings: 1-2 jars
Ingredients
- 500g of roasted peanuts
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt, or not, but there’s nowt wrong with a bit of salt
Nuush clients: Please apply the portion sizes stated in your account and divide the recipe so that you make only as much you need.
Instructions
Place the peanuts and salt (if using) in a food processer and blend.
They will go through a few stages, the last one being a big ball! But hang on in there and after about three minutes you will get a lovely PB paste. To make a crunchy version, separately blend a teacup of nuts til they are chopped into small chunks, then add them to your blend.
Jar it up and eat it.
That’s all.
