How to Make Peanut Butter at Home (Only 3 Ingredients!)

When I can, I like to make my own nut butters at home because it is very simple to do, I usually have the ingredients on hand and it’s cost effective. It’s also great because you get to choose exactly what goes into it- which means no added junk! I’m going to keep this blog short and get to the point: what you need to make homemade peanut butter is just peanuts, salt, and peanut oil. Some extra ingredients you can add if you’d like are cinnamon, vanilla extract and/or maple syrup (for a sweetener). I use my Vitamix, but a food processor also works just fine.

*This recipes yields about 26 ounces of peanut butter.
