5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

3.9 from 13 reviews

This homemade peanut butter recipe uses just one ingredient—raw shelled peanuts—to create a fresh and natural peanut butter. Roasting peanuts brings out their rich, nutty flavor, and blending them to a smooth or crunchy texture allows for customization. Perfect for anyone who loves peanut butter without any additives or preservatives.

  • Total Time: 29 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 400 ml (about 1.7 cups) peanut butter

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 500 g Raw shelled peanuts (with red skins)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180ºC (160ºC fan), 355ºF, or gas mark 4 to prepare for roasting the peanuts.
  2. Roast the Peanuts: Spread the raw peanuts in a single layer on a baking tray and roast for 15 to 18 minutes until they turn lightly golden inside, indicating they are cooked through.
  3. Check Flavor: Carefully taste a cooled peanut half to ensure it has the desired roasted flavor; if not, roast for a few more minutes and test again to reach your preferred taste.
  4. Cool the Peanuts: Once roasted, let the peanuts cool completely before moving on to the next step.
  5. Sterilize the Jar: Prepare a 0.35 liter (11.8 US fl oz) jar by sterilizing it, ensuring your peanut butter will be stored safely and stay fresh.
  6. Pulse the Peanuts: Place the cooled peanuts into a food processor or high-powered blender and pulse on the lowest speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the peanuts are chopped to your liking.
  7. Set Aside for Crunchy Texture: If you prefer crunchy peanut butter, remove 6 tablespoons of the chopped peanuts and set them aside. Skip this step for smooth peanut butter.
  8. Blend to Smooth: Increase the blender speed to highest, blending continuously while stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. Continue until the consistency resembles smooth peanut butter, which may take about 8 minutes.
  9. Add Crunchy Peanuts (Optional): If making crunchy peanut butter, remove the blade and mix the reserved chopped peanuts back into the smooth butter.
  10. Jar the Peanut Butter: Spoon the finished peanut butter into the sterilized jar and securely screw on the lid.
  11. Storage: Store your homemade peanut butter in a cool, dark place and consume within 3 months for optimal freshness and taste.

Notes

  • Sterilizing the jar before storing ensures your peanut butter stays fresh longer and prevents mold or spoilage.
  • Roasting time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the peanuts to avoid burning.
  • The total yield of peanut butter is approximately 400 ml from 500 g of raw peanuts.
  • If you want a saltier or sweeter peanut butter, you can add salt or honey after blending, but this recipe focuses on pure peanut flavor.
  • Use a high-powered blender or food processor for best results and smoothest texture.
