Homemade Crunchy Peanut Butter

This homemade crunchy peanut butter recipe is made in a food processor and turns salted peanuts to peanut butter in less than 10 minutes!

IMG_9162

Have you ever made your own nut butters?! So fun and SO delicious! It’s so easy to do in a big food processor. This homemade crunchy peanut butter was so easy to make, and the flavor options are endless!

Homemade Crunchy Peanut Butter Recipe

Start with 4 cups of dry roasted unsalted peanuts. I found these at the Whole Foods bulk bins labeled “peanut butter stock.” How cute.

7 minutes to a nut butter that smells just like a warm PB&J sandwich.

IMG_9153

If you like it creamy, you can add some salt and stop here.

But I am a crunch-a-holic so I kept going.

= Perfectly classic in every way

Lunch today obviously involved the newly minted PB – had to test it out! No better way than PB&J

    Hey Kath! When you buy bulk items at WF, can you recycle the plastic bag after? Or do you know if it's possible somehow to use your own reusable bag?

    Also, I'm curious appx how much honey you put on your salad. I'm trying to learn to eat salads without tons of Blue Cheese dressing and finding it very difficult!!!

      I'm pretty sure the bags are recyclable, but it may depend on what your recycling center takes. I'm lucky that mine takes everything and doesn't require presorting.

      I saw someone at WF this past week with her own reusable plastic container in the bulk area. She said she has them weigh her container when she arrives at the store, then they deduct the weight when she checks out.

      I was tired of using all the plastic for produce and bulk items, and invested in these…
      http://www.reuseit.com/store/flip-tumble-reusable…

      They add a *negligible* .001 of an ounce or something like that to my purchases, and work great. They ARE a fine mesh, so I wouldn't use them for millet, quinoa, nooch or flours, but for most things, they work great. (And are machine washable!).

      My WF has paper bags as well, which I normally use instead of the plastic.

      At our grocery co-op they have a register scale with the bulk items (and stickers and pens) so you can get the tare weight and stick it right on your reusable container.

    I just got a food processor a couple months ago and I am definitely going to try this. You probably go through yours rather quickly, but about how long does the peanut butter last? I have a much smaller food processor though, so I'll probably take about three times as long as you did 🙂

    "Stick to the roof of your mouth" is the selling factor for ANY nut butter in my opinion. Feel free to send any…unworthy? samples my way 😉

    I just have to say that I just made this tonight – it. was. AWESOME! I got an entire pint plus nearly a half pint of the stuff.
    I used Spanish peanuts, as I didn’t find dry roasted unsalted at my local market (woo hoo, Sprouts!). The only thing I didn’t care for was the taking off of the skins (wasn’t sure how those would work). I also was able to use my homemade vanilla extract, which smelled divine.
    You noted that you store it in the pantry – how come? I’ve always stored PB in the fridge (my family always bought Adams brand – only peanuts and salt), so that’s where I just put it. Will it be OK in the pantry? Even when the jars are half empty (which I forsee will happen on Thursday)?
    Thanks for this – it was amazing, and I was so excited to finally empty out the jar of store-bought so I could make it! This is definitely a repeat!

      I don’t think peanut butter is required to be refrigerated for microbial growth reasons – I think it’s more about keeping the oils emulsified. I didn’t have a problem with oil separation in mine, so I didn’t chill it.

    Kath, do you refrigerate your peanut butter? I made the honey crunch PB using your TJ recipe. It’s great. I doubt it will be around much longer. Sweet, gritty, salty and crunchy, what else can anyone hope for. Also, your hard boiled eggs look perfect in today’s salad. How do you make them? No Great Harvest breads around here. We’ve been missing out. Thanks for everything. Be well. You’re an inspiration to clean living and to eating at home, every meal. I find eating out disappointing these days, and, expensive.
