Chances are that if you like peanut butter, you love it and, if you don't, well, you just don't. I have been making my own peanut butter for quite some time now. Once you start making it at home there is no way you will be able to buy a bottle off the shelf. They suddenly seem so, 'preserved'.
Making your own peanut butter is not only healthier but there is a lot of variation that you can do to suit your personal taste. You like it sweeter, add more honey, you want it little salty, add in a good pinch of salt, you like it chunky, add in roasted peanuts, or if, creamy, just whizz the whole thing to creamy goodness. You could even try a new flavour, like maybe vanilla or coffee or chocolate.
The best part, just 4 ingredients and a food processor, and you are done.
Added some chocochips to half the quantity and boy, I am so glad I did.....mmmm...yum yum yum!
Peanut Butter
Roasted & skinned peanuts 1 1/2 cups
Extra virgin olive oil or any other oil 1 Tbsp
Honey as per taste
Salt as per taste
1. Put all the peanuts in the bowl of the food processor and whizz till it resembles a coarse powder.
2. Pulse on till it all starts coming together...check out the stages in the pics below. Remember to keep scrapping the sides, of the bowl.
3. And then it starts liquidising... at this stage put in your oil and honey and salt and whizz it more.
4. Finally, it starts thinning out and you have creamy, delicious peanut butter.
5. For chocolate peanut butter, once you have reached this stage, just add in choco chips and continue to process it.
