Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb peanuts dry roasted**
  • 2 tbsp honey

Equipment

  • 1 Food processor see notes for my favorite brand
  • 1 cookie sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the peanuts in an even layer over the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle honey directly overtop the peanuts.
  3. Bake for 9-14 minutes until the honey has darkened to a deep caramel color.
  4. Carefully transfer the warm peanuts to a food processor or high speed blender.
  5. Blend until a smooth butter forms! Pause to scrape down the sides as needed.
  6. Add any additional flavoring agents (see blog post above for ideas). Serve warm and enjoy!
  7. Storage: store at room temperature in a glass mason jar for up to 2 months.

Notes

*I use a Cuisinart 14-cup food processor for this recipe and many of my other recipes. It's super powerful and creates a smooth consistency (no lumps) every time!
**you can start with raw peanuts, but dry roasted are much easier to find. So, technically, we're roasting them twice if you purchase dry roasted.
