Peanut butter is a delicacy that we learned about from American films. In them, caring mothers prepare sandwiches with this pasta and jam for their children for breakfast.
With a blender of sufficient power, some peanuts and 15-20 minutes of time, you can easily prepare delicious peanut butter at home according to your preferences. Why is it better than just buying it from the store? Firstly, not every store sells it, and secondly, you yourself will choose the additives and “intensity”, that is, the taste concentration of the paste. Options - from very delicate taste to "strong", bright due to well toasted nuts, from a rather thin paste consistency to very thick.
When it comes to how to use peanut butter other than on sandwiches, the possibilities are wide. Given that peanut butter is a lean product, it is replaced butter. For example, bake peanut cookies or cupcake, make pasta cream, make ice cream, and even make a delicious peanut drink. And you can also add peanut butter to all kinds of sauces, marinades, gravies, salads.
The classic peanut butter recipe includes honey. I will not deviate from tradition and cook just such a pasta.
Cooking time: 25-30 minutes.
Servings/Yield: 350 grams.
Ingredients
To make Peanut Butter with Honey, you will need:
- 300 grams of raw peanuts (shelled or shelled - it doesn't matter)
- 40-50 ml odorless vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ¼ tsp salt (preferably sea salt)
How to make peanut butter at home
The first step is to prepare the peanuts. Put the nuts on a baking sheet and send to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
Store-bought roasted peanuts can be used, but in this case you will not be able to choose the degree of roasting yourself.
If you bought peanuts with shells, after roasting in the oven, it will separate very easily.
Place the peeled peanuts in a blender. Send honey and salt there.
Grind nuts on high speed. At first, the mass will be crumbly.
But as the peanuts are further crushed, they will begin to release oil, the pieces will become smaller and smaller, and the mass will begin to collect in a lump.
At this point, start administering a tablespoon vegetable oil. This must be done gradually to get exactly the consistency of the paste that you like.
The finished peanut butter will be viscous and smooth.
Transfer the paste to glass jar and send to the refrigerator. There she will thicken a little more. You can store peanut butter for a very long time - about 6 months.
However, you are unlikely to refuse to enjoy this delicacy immediately after preparation!
This pasta was invented by an American dietitian. He was looking for a worthy replacement for food of animal origin, which would replace some products and make the usual diet more correct, healthy and balanced. The experiment with peanuts ended in success. Peanut butter turned out to be very appetizing and healthy. It contains unsaturated acids, protein, vitamins and fiber, copes with cholesterol in the blood. This is the same popular and satisfying dish in America as.
In our country, this dish is just beginning to gain its popularity, while Americans cannot imagine a day without such oil.
Delicate , thick texture is perfectly applied to a slice of white bread . Such a sandwich can be served with hot green tea, a cup of bitter coffee or mate.
Only a few components are needed to make a paste from grains. It can be any sweetener ( refined cane or honey), oil ( vegetable or butter), roasted peanuts and a powerful blender.
If you purchased raw nuts, put them on a mold and put them in the oven (140-150 degrees). Watch their color. After 20-30 minutes they will acquire a caramel shade.

The most ideal sunflower oil is deodorized, that is, ordinary oil from a transparent supermarket. It has no obvious smell and taste, since it is raw pressed or fried. sunflower oil will give a strong flavor to the paste.
5 . We turn on the bender and bring the peanut mass to homogeneity, independently adjusting the required density and density of the product. Pour the finished pasta into a container with a lid, store in a cold place.

How to make your own peanut butter?
For homemade pasta it is better to take raw peanuts and cook it yourself. As a sweetener, it is better to use honey, of course, or, in extreme cases, powdered sugar, because. sugar does not dissolve well and as a result the oil will turn out with grains, and not smooth and homogeneous.
Ingredients:
- raw peanuts - 340 g;
- - 30 ml;
- refined oil - 15 ml;
- salt - 5 g.
Cooking
We wash the peanuts well and blanch in boiling water for just a couple of minutes, and then rinse with ice water. Such processing with a temperature difference will greatly facilitate the process of peeling and grinding. After washing, lay out on a baking sheet with parchment and put in the oven for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. After the nuts have cooled, pour them into a bowl and cover with another suitable in diameter and shake very actively, while the husk is well separated from the kernels. Then it will be enough just to sift through a large sieve. We put the peanuts in a blender and start grinding, first it will turn out crumbs, then flour, then the mass will begin to gather into a lump and only after 15-20 minutes the nuts will begin to give off oil and a homogeneous paste will turn out. This process is not fast, so the blender should be allowed to cool from time to time, and the mass should be mixed and cleaned from the walls.
We add oil, preferably not fragrant or peanut, honey of not pronounced taste and fine salt. Mix again and put in a jar for storage.

19.08.2017Hello everyone! Vika Leping is with you, and today there will be a very cool recipe - peanut butter at home from one ingredient (the second one is optional). Yes Yes! Let's make nut butter from peanuts and that's it! And yes, I’ll say right away that nut pastes can be made from any of your favorite nuts using the same technology: almonds, cashews, Walnut, - anything, show your imagination!
Nut or seed paste is often called urbech. It's fashionable now 🙂 Sunflower seeds, linseed, hemp, and chia seeds are also used. Such a thick mass is saturated with a huge amount of nutrients, therefore it is considered a very valuable source of benefits for our body. But do not forget that urbechi, like our peanut butter, the calorie content of which is as much as 567 kcal per 100 g (like the whole peanut), should always be consumed in doses.
After all, urbechi and pastas are often called oils for a reason - they contain a lot of, albeit useful, but fats. You always need to know the measure, as with other products. By the way, in Ukrainian, as well as in English, we have two words for oil: in fact, oil (butter) and oliya (oil). Oil is everything solid oils, and oliya - liquid. Therefore, we usually call this product peanut butter, and American peanut butter is called peanut butter.
Peanut is a peanut, and literally translates as a peanut, because pea is green pea. And if I go headlong into my linguistic chains of thoughts, then I will take the liberty of asserting that they call it that because peanuts are not a nut at all, but a variety of legumes. Here is such a cognitive and instructive digression. Don't swear, I'm just a philologist and sometimes linguistic insights come to me 😀 But still, let's talk about peanut butter.
I have already said a little about the benefits of urbech, but still, how useful is sugar-free peanut butter? In addition to fat, peanuts also contain a lot of protein, which means amino acids, there are vitamins A, D, E, B1, B2, PP, linoleic and folic acids and many other microelements necessary for our body. Iron, copper, potassium, manganese, magnesium - all in rich concentration. Therefore, eat with pleasure if you do not have a peanut allergy, and think about what benefits you bring to the body.

So how do you make peanut butter? To get started, I bring to your attention a video recipe for peanut butter with my YouTube channel .

Video recipe: homemade peanut butter
Step by step recipe with photo
Nut paste is usually made from roasted nuts. But you can also make it from raw ones, it’s just that, to be honest, it will not be so tasty and a little bitter. But it will undoubtedly benefit more. I will bake peanuts in the oven. You can buy already roasted peanuts. It is desirable that it be sold already peeled. I found a peeled raw one, so I'll cook it myself.
Preheat the oven in advance to 180 degrees. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet in an even layer. I recommend using parchment paper. Put the tray in the oven for 15-25 minutes. Every 5 minutes, open the oven and quickly stir the peanuts, then close again. The production of peanut butter is a simple matter, but you should not yawn during preparation either.
I give such a wide spread in time because everyone’s ovens are completely different, nuts can be cooked for someone in 15, for someone in 25 minutes! Look at them and smell them, they should brown a little and smell very fragrant for the whole house. Don't get burned! Peanut butter does not need a burnt source! We take out the finished nuts along with the baking sheet and let them cool for about 10 minutes. If your peanuts are in the skin, you will need to spend another 5 minutes to peel it with your hands, but this is quite simple.
But in order to make peanut butter, it is not necessary to have a stationary blender. If you have a quality submersible, use its chopper - everything will work out with it, but it will take more time. And it will be necessary to give him a break so that he does not burn out with you. If you follow all the instructions, everything will be fine, so read carefully.
Pour the peeled peanuts into the bowl of a blender or chopper. If you fried it yourself, it now smells sweet for the whole apartment! The same goes for homemade peanut butter. And if you have already bought roasted nuts, throw them into a hot pan for a couple of minutes to renew the aroma, you will not regret it!
Let's start grinding the peanuts. I turn on my blender for 30 seconds at high speed and get the result as in the photo. It's called crunchy peanut butter, crunchy is crunchy in English. Due to the fact that some nuts are not completely ground, it remains a little "crispy". In quotation marks, because there is no crunch as such. I do not like this kind, but it also has a place to be, of course.
If you use a grinder, grind the peanuts with impulsive pressing for 10 minutes to this state. First you get a crumb, then the mass will begin to set. Pay attention to the word impulsive! It is very important! Otherwise, you risk losing your blender. Most likely, at this stage, you will sometimes need to mix the mass with a spoon in order to push the unground pieces closer to the knife. Production nut butter it may take a long time, but it's normal 🙂 But the taste is awesome and there is nothing superfluous in the composition!
If you want to achieve uniformity, continue to grind the peanut butter. If your blender gets too hot, set it aside for 15 minutes and then continue. The same impulsive movements until complete uniformity. I turned on my blender another 3 times for 30 seconds, helping the paste to be pushed towards the knives with a pusher until it became liquid. But it became liquid already in the second 30 seconds, I just wanted to achieve downright perfect smoothness.
If your nut crumb still doesn't want to release oil and become viscous and homogeneous, you can add commercial liquid peanut butter, just a little. But this is an extreme case! It's better to grind longer. You can also add honey right away if you want to sweeten our peanut butter a little. Because in itself it is not sweet, of course. I added honey at the end and ground again. There are about 3 tablespoons here.
Immediately after the addition of honey, the peanut butter became much firmer. Also, at the end, you can put your favorite dried fruits, chop finely dark chocolate or even add salt, because many people like the salted version. But my favorite is with honey.
We shift the finished yummy into jars. Everything! Now you know how to make peanut butter at home! It can be stored for 6 months even in the refrigerator. The only thing is that it can delaminate, that is, the solid part is separated from the liquid oil, but this is absolutely normal, just mix it before eating.
And if you're wondering what to eat peanut butter with, I recommend you spread it on whole grain bread or toast, and top it with a banana and some other favorite fruit or berry, like a peach, like mine. I also really like to put strawberries. Just do not forget that the calorie content of peanut butter is quite high, control yourself! 😀
I'll quickly summarize.
