This is the easiest thing in the world.

ingredients

Raw Peanuts - as many as you like (400g will make about 250ml of Peanut Butter)

  1. Dry-fry (no oil etc.) the peanuts in the large frying pan for about 10 mins or for as long as it takes for the peanuts to become golden brown.
    • This will encourage the oils in the peanuts to release - which is exactly what we want!
  2. Put the now-roasted peanuts into the blender and blend.
    • Blend, blend, blend and blend some more.
    • There will be a point when you think nothing’s happening and the small bits of peanut are just moving around the blender, or just stuck in place. Give the stuck pieces a nudge with a spatula and get back to blending.
    • Blend, blend, blend even more until, eventually, the mixture starts to bind together and turn into a thick solid mass.
    • Keep blending and the mixture will loosen up become a lovely, smooth, peanut butter.
  3. Spoon out into a suitable container and allow to cool (or just eat it there and then, I won’t judge you).

Top Tips =

  • If you prefer a chunky peanut butter, save some of the roasted peanuts back and only put them into the blended mixture at the end with a bit of a stir - lovely!
