Salted roasted peanuts and a spoonful of peanut oil whirled into smooth, spreadable peanut butter in a few minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups salted roasted peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil

Directions

  • Put the peanuts and peanut oil in a food processor.
  • Process until the nuts turn from crumbs to a smooth, spreadable butter, stopping now and then to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula so every peanut gets ground.
  • Spoon into a clean jar with a lid.

Notes

Keep it in the refrigerator and use it within 2 weeks. Without the stabilizers in store-bought peanut butter, a little oil may rise to the top; just stir it back in.
