Peanut Butter Recipe

Ingredients:

- 2 cups unsalted peanuts (roasted or raw)

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1-2 tablespoons peanut oil (optional, for creaminess)

- 1-2 tablespoons honey or sugar (optional, for sweetness)

Directions:

Prepare the Peanuts: If using raw peanuts, roast them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let them cool slightly.

Blend: Place the peanuts in a food processor. Blend on high speed until the peanuts turn into a smooth paste. This may take 2-4 minutes. Occasionally scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Adjust Consistency: If the peanut butter is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of peanut oil to achieve your desired creaminess. Blend again to incorporate.

Add Flavor: For a touch of sweetness, blend in honey or sugar. Add salt to taste.

Store: Move the peanut butter to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 months.
