So I finally tried to make home-made creamy peanut butter. It was awesome! The creamy texture was incomparable to the store-bought peanut butter. B had to add it to her recipe blog index! It was that good and that easy! Not to mention, obviously a healthier alternative to store-bought peanut butter which contains preservatives.
First step:
Blend ingredients together for around 5-10 minutes depending on the power of your food processor.
Final result is a creamy-to-die-for-texture:
It was simply delectable. I really loved the texture of it and was amazed how it turned out. I was skeptical as I saw it blending as it started off grainy. I couldn’t help but wonder how this texture would be achieved. HAHA! I’ve read that peanuts release their own oils after being blended for a long time – I guess seeing is believing!
B’s Easy Home-made Peanut Butter
Makes: 1 small bowl
Ingredients:
- 90g Peanuts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Method:
- Blend peanuts and oil in a food processor.
- After a few minutes scrape down the extras to ensure even consistency.
- Blend for about 5-10 minutes depending on the power of your machine!
Note: You can store this for a few days without refrigeration. However, if you are in a hot country I would eat it up fast! LOL. Remember that unlike store-bought peanut butter this has no preservatives so it doesn’t last as long. It taste so good that it anyways won’t last so long in your kitchen!
B is exiting her kitchen for the day! More in B’s Kitchen to come.

I love peanut butter. I didn’t know it was this easy to make! Great post 🙂
Thanks for dropping by Christine! 🙂 YEAH I was amazed too. It was actually much creamier than store-bought and so easy to whip up! Give it a go! x
O M G. I want to make my own peanut butter. Do you think coconut oil will be too overpowering in this recipe? And what kind of peanuts did you use- roasted, unsalted or? Thanks for sharing this recipe and I look forward to seeing some vegetarian/vegan recipes!

I think coconut oil might be a bit strong. People use peanut oil or hemp oil as it has an added nutty flavour. I like olive oil! You can even omit the oil completely as peanuts give out their natural oil eventually after all that grinding!
I used slightly salted peanuts! Not roasted though!
Thanks for dropping by 🙂
Ohhh I’ve made this too! You know you can use almost any nuts to do this?
Yeah I was thinking of trying almond butter! It’s just incredibly easy, I really couldn’t believe it! 🙂
