Homemade Peanut Butter

自制花生酱

100% pure roasted peanut butter can be made at home easily. No more store bought peanut butter for me!

Ingredients

200g raw peanuts (with skin)

0.5g salt

5g (1 tsp) neutral/flavourless oil e.g. canola. Extra olive oil works too.

Method

1. Roast raw peanuts 200g at 150C with fan for 20minutes until the skin turns reddish brown colour.

2. Remove the peanut skins once the roasted peanuts have cooled down. Net weight of roasted peanuts: 182g

3. Transfer the peanuts to a blender. The first few minutes of blending will be crushing the peanuts. Then as you continue to blend, the peanut oils will be released and the mixture starts to turn lumpy. Keep blending until it comes together into a sticky paste. Add olive oil and and salt, and continue to blend it into a smooth butter. 

3. Transfer to container and keep in fridge.
