Ingredients

• 2 cups roasted unsalted peanuts
• 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 1-2 teaspoons peanut oil (optional, for creaminess)

Instructions

1. Prepare Peanuts: If using raw peanuts, roast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until lightly browned.
2. Blend Peanuts: Place the roasted peanuts in a food processor. Blend on high speed until they break down into a thick paste, scraping down the sides as needed.
3. Add Sweetener and Salt: Once the peanuts reach a creamy consistency, add honey or maple syrup and salt. Blend until fully incorporated. If you want a creamier texture, drizzle in peanut oil while blending.
4. Adjust Texture: If the peanut butter is too thick, add a little more oil until you reach your desired consistency.
5. Store: Transfer the peanut butter to a clean jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to a month.
