I just want to share this home made peanut butter guys in just 3 minutes. I want to try this, it's more natural and we can control the ingredients.
Ingredients:
-
16oz dry roasted peanuts
-
granulated cane sugar
-
salt
Step 1: Roast the Peanuts
Spread 16oz of dry roasted peanuts over a baking sheet, and roast them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. This helps heat up the oils in the peanuts, making them easier to blend and get super creamy!
Step 2: Fill the Blender
Making sure they're still warm from the oven, fill a blender of food-processor with the roasted peanuts.
Step 3: Blend 1 Minute: "Crumbly Stage"
After 1 minute of blending, the blended peanuts will look crumbly...
Step 4: Blend 1 More Minute: "Play-Dough Stage"
Then after some scraping off the sides, and another 1 minute of blending, it will start to look like peanut Play-Dough...
Step 5: Blend 1 Last Minute: "Magic Minute"
Then, after 1 more minute of blending, the magic happens. It turns creamy. It looks like the smooth, lucious peanut butter. Once it gets to this stage, add in 4 Tablespoons of granulated cane sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt. The salt, strangely, is what really sets the flavor off. Blend for another 30 seconds-1 minute.
Step 6: Enjoy!
That's it! Nice and simple, and better tasting that store-bought in my opinion - without all the extra mystery ingredients. This base recipe is easy to modify using honey, dark chocolate, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, vanilla, gingerbread seasoning...all of your favorite flavors can be turned into a peanut butter now!
