Equipment

food processor
baking sheet (optional)

Ingredients

2 cups roasted unsalted peanuts shelled
3 to 4 tablespoons peanut oil
2 tablespoons honey
½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

In the bowl of the food processor, add the shelled peanuts, peanut oil, honey, and sea salt. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes. If the mixture is slightly dry, add another tablespoon of peanut oil. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

If using raw peanuts, you may roast them on a baking sheet in a 350° F/175° C oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Stir two times while roasting and allow to cool completely before making the peanut butter.

For chunky peanut butter, chop ¼ cup of the nuts and set aside. Process the rest until smooth and creamy, then add the chopped nuts and process until mixed in, about 15 seconds.
