i have had my food processor for two years now. marshall gave it to me on our second (dating) anniversary.
two years and i have never made my own peanut butter! that’s ridiculous… especially when you consider how simple it is.
step 1: buy nuts. this was a pound of salted + roasted peanuts, because we like salty, roasted peanut butter.
step 2: dump nuts in processor.
step 3: turn processor on.
step 4: push nuts down with a rubber spatula if needs be.
step 5: totally optional.. add oil. i only added 1/2 tsp of canola oil to get things moving a bit better.
step 6: let the processor run for a few minutes.
step 7: admire your peanut butter.
step 8: put it on a tiny condiment spoon so you can show everyone reading your blog how creamy it is.
step 9: put it in an old peanut butter jar.
step 10: eat it. duh.
i cannot believe how easy this was.. i am kind of mad that i have been buying peanut butter for the past two years.
Qs~
1. do you make anything at home that you previously purchased pre-made? marinara sauce, hummus.. and now, nut butter. i would like to make my own bread.. one day at a time.
2. what is your favorite kind of nut or seed butter? (not brand—kind.) i love maple almond butter.

Bread! It’s super easy in the bread machine, trust me.
I love peanut butter. Love it.
I wish I had a bread machine!
The key to getting one is dropping not-so-subtle hints to your family/family-in-law…and waiting until they have some extra Kohl’s cash about to expire. ;)
I make my own hummus, and really want to try making nut butter and coconut butter, but for some reason I doubt the power in my wee little food processor. I’ll give it a try, though!
my mom always makes her own pb and it’s super tasty!
I just came across your blog! I had no idea that making peanut butter was so easy! I might have to make some of my own. Eventually I’d like to make just about everything at home, but for now, I’ll work on one thing at a time.
Thanks for stoppin by!
I want to dive into that jar of PB….and this is something I can see myself making for certain. I think the addition of some maple syrup would be out of this world ;)
Really?? It’s that easy?? I would have never guessed. I am making more and more at home. Avoiding the restaurant scene.
Do you know if you can use a wheat grinder to make your own coconut flour? I’m having a hard time finding the stuff but I have plenty of coconut. :)
If you can even believe it, I totally screwed up my first attempt at almond butter. lol. I don’t know what I did, but I’ve been nervous to try it again since. I’ll have to give it a go, again! haha
Excellent! Thanks for this easy recipe. How long do you think the peanut butter will keep? If it even lasts very long, because I am sure I would eat it really quick. Anyway, just wondering!
The same as any other PB!
I have done this with almonds once…but yours looks so much better then mine turned out ha
