Prep time: about 10 minutes

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts

1 Tbs vegetable oil

 

Directions:

For smooth peanut butter:

Mix the peanuts with the oil, and pour the mixture into the food processor.

Process the mixture until it's very smooth.

Store your smooth peanut butter in a sealed container in the fridge. It will be good for 2 weeks.

 

For chunky peanut butter:

Take about 1/4 cup out of your 1 1/2 cups of peanuts and set them aside.

Mix the rest of the peanuts with the oil, and pour the mixture into the food processor.

Process the mixture until it's very smooth, then stir in the peanuts that you had set aside.

 

Process a few seconds more to create the chunks in your chunky peanut butter. Store your chunky peanut butter in a sealed container in the fridge. It will be good for 2 weeks.
