Did you know you can make peanut butter at home in about 10 minutes? All you need is a food processor, roasted peanuts and a little oil. No added sugar or preservatives unless you want them, and kids love watching the peanuts turn into peanut butter. Here’s my simple 2-ingredient version, plus how to make it crunchy or a little sweet.
Tips
- Be patient. The peanuts go from crumbs to a thick ball to smooth peanut butter. Keep going and scrape down the sides.
- Use roasted peanuts. They have the best flavor. If they’re salted, skip the extra salt.
- Make it crunchy by adding a handful of peanuts during the last 15 to 30 seconds.
- It will be runny at first from the heat of the processor. It thickens in the fridge.
How to use it
Spread it on toast or apples, stir it into oatmeal, or serve with celery sticks for an easy after-school snack.

FAQ
How long does homemade peanut butter last?
Store it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 months.
Why is it separating?
Natural peanut butter separates because there are no stabilizers. Just stir it.
Can I use a blender?
A food processor works best. A high-powered blender can work, but you’ll need to stop and scrape it down often.
