Oven Roasted Peanut Butter
It is SO easy to make and SO much tastier than anything store bought.This is THE peanut butter. I’m excited that I know how to make this gold from scratch, but disappointed that I have spent 26
years living in peanut butter ignorance. Choosy moms choose “store bought” until they’ve tried this recipe…

Servings: 1 jar
Equipment
- food processor (this is mine: https://amzn.to/3uqGgck )
- baking sheet ( this is mine: https://amzn.to/2YxBDN8 )
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw red skin peanuts
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil *this is a rough measurement I usually use - it depends on the consistency you like your peanut butter!
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes *this is a rough measurement that I usually use- it depends on how salty you like it
- 2 tablespoon honey *this is a rough measurement that I usually use- it depends on how sweet you like it
Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS: Oven Roasting (Raw) Peanuts
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Line a baking pan with aluminum foil/parchment paper and spread a single layer of peanuts across the sheet without peanuts overlapping
- For peanuts with shell removed it takes about 15 to 20 minutes for them to roast. Stir peanuts every 5-8 minutes so they roast evenly and don't burn.
- The peanuts are ready when they turn a light golden brown you will also begin to smell an inviting roasted peanut smell!
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes
INSTRUCTIONS: Peanut Butter
- Place your fresh roasted peanuts in your food processor and let it run for 5 minutes. *Do NOT add all peanuts if you want chunky peanut butter* set 1 cup of roasted peanuts aside for this!
- Peanuts will go from crumbles to clumps to a giant ball to butter
- Add coconut oil one tablespoon at a time until you reach desired creaminess ( I use coconut because it adds a nice sweet flavor).
- Once you have the desired consistency add honey (or agave) and about a teaspoon of sea salt flakes. Pulse the processor 5 to 7 times to evenly mix.
- CHUNKY PEANUT BUTTER*-Add the remaining portion of peanuts and pulse the processor about 5-7 times, so the peanuts get nicely chopped and evenly dispersed. EAT & ENJOY!
