How to Make Homemade Peanut Butter with Just 2 Ingredients

Making peanut butter at home is amazingly simple, quick, and rewarding. With just raw peanuts and salt, a food processor, and a little patience, you can create creamy, fresh peanut butter without any additives or preservatives.

Ingredients

• 3 cups raw peanuts (approx. 480 grams)

• Sea salt (to taste)

---

Equipment

• Baking sheet

• Food processor or high-speed blender

• Airtight container or mason jar for storage

---

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Peanuts

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Spread peanuts evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

• Roast for 10 minutes, then stir peanuts and roast another 10 minutes.

• Continue roasting in 5-minute intervals if needed until peanuts are lightly darkened and smell roasted.

• Let peanuts cool completely.

Roasting deepens flavor and improves creaminess.

Step 2: (Optional) Remove Skins

• If preferred, after cooling, toss peanuts in a colander and rub to remove skins. Skins add fiber but can make peanut butter speckled.

Step 3: Blend Peanuts

• Place roasted peanuts in a food processor.

• Pulse repeatedly in short bursts initially; mixture will go from crumbly to clumpy.

• Switch to continuous blending and process until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed.

Step 4: Add Salt to Taste

• Add a pinch or two of sea salt while blending. Adjust salt after tasting.

Step 5: (Optional) Make Crunchy

• Set aside some peanuts before blending; pulse them in at the end for crunchy texture.

Step 6: Store

• Transfer peanut butter to an airtight jar.

• Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or refrigerate for 2-3 months.

Tips for Perfect Peanut Butter

• Use quality raw peanuts (Valencia peanuts are great for less mold risk).

• Roast evenly, don’t over-bake to prevent bitterness.

• Blend long enough to get desired creaminess; homemade will be like natural commercial varieties except without stabilizers.

• Salt enhances flavor but add gradually to suit preference.

• Keep peanut butter fresh by using airtight containers.

---

Why Make Your Own Peanut Butter?

• Control over ingredients—no sugar, oil, or preservatives.

• Fresh-roasted flavor unmatched by store-bought.

• Simple, cheap, and customizable.

• Fun kitchen project and healthy staple for kids and adults.
