Easy Homemade Peanut Butter 

There is nothing quite like homemade peanut butter. It is the most smooth and creamy peanut butter that I have ever tasted and pairs so well to make the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich or to use to make peanut butter cup brownies, mason jar peanut butter pie, or even slow cooker Reese’s Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cake!

With roasted peanuts, a Vitamix Blender or food processor, and 5 minutes you will have homemade peanut butter with an incredible texture that is oh so creamy and gluten Free!

Tips Tricks and FAQs

• If you don’t have a Vitamix blender you can make this in a food processor. 
• You will want to stop your blender/food processor every now and again to give the motor a break. It will be working hard to make your delicious peanut butter. 
• Dry roasted peanuts are the best nut to use. You can use unsalted or salted peanuts. If you opt for unsalted you will want to add a little salt at the end and mix it in. 
• You might think you are doing something wrong because your peanut butter will be a little chunky and then form balls, but when it is ready it will be nice and creamy, just be patient it really does take 5 full minutes of mixing. 
• If you wish you can swap out the nuts! Try almonds (almond butter), pistachio butter, or any other kind of nut that you choose. 
• When making peanut butter you usually end up with 1/2 cup less peanut butter than cups of nuts that you begin with. 

Storage

You will want to store your peanut butter in an airtight container in the fridge.
