Peanut butter

Peanut butter

Yes, its home made with real peanuts, and guess what? In just 10 minutes! Yeah right in 10 minutes and just 3 ingredients and may be a bit of patience, since you would need to stop your food processor or blender a few times to scrape out the sides and turn on again.

Peanuts are rich in proteins, fiber and have healthy fats and natural sugar. And if it’s homemade then even batter. It kind of feels magical, to watch these lovely whole peanuts, transform into, crumbly, grainy, and then creamy peanut butter.

I am already drooling and crushing over this jar of liquid gold, which is so creamy with the perfect sweetness and melt in mouth consistency. You would be surprised, how easy it is to make!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Roasted Peanuts
• A pinch of Salt
• 1 tablespoon of honey

Instructions:

• In a blender jar, place the peanuts and a pinch of salt.
• Turn on the food processor or blender and let it run for 2-3 minutes. You will see the peanuts go into different stages, turning into a grainy, crumbly and then a soft ball consistency.
• At this stage, turn off and scrape the sides with a spatula and turn on again. You will have to do this a few times with patience.
• Add a tablespoon of honey and blend again. The peanuts now turn into a creamy liquid.
• Turn off the food processor or blender and transfer the peanut butter into an airtight jar and refrigerate if you want to store it longer than days.

Uses:

There are a number of ways you can use this creamy homemade peanut butter. You can just slather over a crusty bread or a pancake, blend it in your smoothie for that extra dose of protein, use as a binder for homemade granola bars, as a salad dressing or just as a dip with your favorite snack.
