Honey-roasted peanut butter is easy to make at home and a budget-friendly alternative to store-bought spreads. Simply add honey-roasted peanuts to a food processor and have homemade peanut butter in five minutes.
Making honey roasted peanut butter at home is simple and satisfying.
With just a one ingredients - the peanuts - and a food processor, you can create a creamy, flavorful nut butter that's perfect for snacking, adding to recipes, or using as a dip.
Honey roasted peanut butter offers a customizable, budget-friendly alternative to store-bought peanut butter.
You can use dry roasted peanut and add in flavoring options like honey, maple syrup or cinnamon, or go right for honey roasted peanuts like I did. Either way you'll end up with a flavorful, creamy spread.
Ingredients
See the recipe card for exact amounts.
- peanuts: you can use either raw or roasted peanuts or honey roasted peanuts like this recipe when making peanut butter. Roasted peanuts blend easier and have a richer, nutty flavor.
- add-ins: for a flavored peanut butter try adding honey, maple syrup, or cinnamon.
Substitutions
- peanuts: try other nut butters like cashew butter or almond butter.
Roast peanuts yourself at home. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes at 325°F (165°C).
I use the Ninja Home System and prefer to use the blender jar over the food processor to make peanut butter - it blends quicker.
Instructions
While almond butter can take 10-15 minutes to blend into butter, homemade peanut usually takes less than 5 minutes.
Using the store bought honey roasted peanuts is a bit of a short cut but you can feel free to use regular peanuts also.
- Add 2 cups of honey roasted peanuts to your food processor bowl or a blender jar and blend.
- The mixture will change from peanuts to little chunks, to kind of sandy, and then it clumps up into a ball before it finally smooths out to peanut butter.
Tips for making peanut butter
- Use a high powered blender if you have it. The smaller jar and more blades means the blending process will be quicker.
- Use a strong food processor or blender. An older appliance might struggle a bit when making nut butter. This means it will take longer so don't give up!
Storage
Homemade peanut butter should be stored in an airtight container like a jar with a lid in the refrigerator. Use within two weeks. Let the peanut butter come to room temperature before using for easier spreading.
FAQs
Yes, you can use dry roasted peanuts but I recommend using unsalted peanuts and adding a pinch of salt yourself if you want it.
