Peanut butter is a simple food to make. There’s no secret about it. It’s just finely chopped peanuts. All you have to do is take a bunch of shelled peanuts and run them through a blender or food processor for about four minutes. When they get chopped up at high speeds, the natural oils of the peanut are released and it gives the chopped peanuts a smooth consistency. A few variations to the recipe do exist. Some people like to add a teaspoon of peanut oil or vegetable oil to the peanuts to make them creamier. Another option is to replace the oil with an equal amount of honey. To make chunky peanut butter, you can add chopped peanuts to the finished peanut butter. If the peanut butter is not flavorful enough for you, you can add a pinch of salt to bring it out. If it is not sweet enough, you can add a teaspoon of granulated sugar.
For variety, you can add some different nuts to the peanut butter. Adding a few almonds, macadamias, or hazel nuts will give your peanut butter an exotic flavor. If you want a tasty and sweet dessert peanut butter, add some chocolate chips. The chocolate chips can be added either at the end or at the beginning, to be blended smoothly into the peanut butter. For a more natural peanut butter, you can buy raw peanuts and roast them yourself. To roast the peanuts, shell them and spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast at 305 degrees F for 15 minutes. Allow them to cool before using them for peanut butter.
