🥣 Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Equipment:

• Use a food processor or a high-powered blender for best results.

• Ensure the peanuts are at room temperature or slightly warm for faster blending.

2. Blend the Peanuts:

• Add the peanuts to the food processor and begin blending on high speed.

• First, the peanuts will turn into crumbs, then into a thick paste. Keep going!

3. Pause and Scrape:

• Every 30–45 seconds, stop the machine and scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure an even blend.

• After 3–5 minutes, the oils will release and the peanut butter will start to smooth out.

4. Customize:

• Once the mixture becomes creamy, you can add oil if needed for a smoother texture.

• Add salt and sweetener to taste. Pulse to combine.

• For crunchy peanut butter, stir in chopped peanuts at the end.

5. Store It:

• Transfer the peanut butter to a clean glass jar or airtight container.
