FOOD
Easy, One Ingredient, Homemade Peanut Butter
1-2 bags of salted or unsalted peanuts (around 200g – 400g)
5 Minutes
I don’t know about you but I eat loads of peanut butter, and it used to cost me so much. Until I started making it myself. This homemade peanut butter recipe is the simplest recipe I make and it’s easily my most used one, too. I’ve saved so much money by doing so!
There are quite a few recipes online for peanut butter which often say you need to add oil to make it creamy. This isn’t the case – If you process the peanuts enough they release their own natural oils which do the job instead. Making it yourself also makes it healthier and helps to avoid those added ingredients that none of us want – palm oil, added sugars, maltodextrin, and so on. I find it bizarre that people buy it now that I’ve got so used to make it – with only a food processor and a packet of peanuts needed, it really is a worthwhile food item to make from scratch. Plus it takes so good!
There’s only one ingredient for this easy homemade peanut butter recipe, which is peanuts! You can add oil but, as I’ve already said, it’s definitely not necessary. The more you make in one go, the creamier it ends up, so that is something to be aware of. The recipe is suitable for those who are vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free, but of course not suitable for anyone allergic to nuts.

Equipment
This is a recipe where you’ll need a food processor – the more powerful it is, the smoother your peanut butter will end up. I absolutely love my Kenwood Multipro Compact Food Processor – it’s really powerful, and it has multiple attachments including a blender meaning that you don’t need to store loads of different appliances! It’s a great price and lasts for ages… We’ve had ours for years so it’s been an excellent investment.
Method
- If making crunchy peanut butter, put a handful of the peanuts to one side and add the remaining peanuts into the food processor. If making smooth then add the whole lot.
- Process on a high speed until smooth, It should take a few minutes and is done once it has formed a ball inside the bowl.
- Stir in the remaining peanuts if making crunchy peanut butter. Otherwise, add the finished product to an airtight jar or other container and store in your food cupboard at room temperature. That’s all there is to it!

Aaaahhh! Before I even read this I was hoping and praying that you would say how to make crunchy peanut butter! Thank you thank you!

It's gotta to be crunchy! Interestingly though, I only actually like smooth when it's homemade - I think it's because the texture is naturally a bit crunchier anyway.
