Equipment
- 1 Food Processor
Ingredients
Original Peanut Butter
- 2 Cups Roasted Salted Peanuts
- 2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 Tbsp Honey
Brownie Peanut Butter
- 1 Cup Prepared Peanut Butter
- 1/2 Brownie Chopped
- 1 Tbsp Walnuts Chopped
Birthday Cake Peanut Butter
- 1 Cup Prepared Peanut Butter
- 1/2 Cup Pound Cake Cubed
- 1 Tbsp Color Sprinkles
- 1/2 Cup Vanilla Frosting Store bought or homemade
Instructions
Original Peanut Butter
- Add the peanuts to a food processor and blend on high.
- The peanuts will go through several stages. First, you will see the peanuts look crumbly or starting to look like wet sand. Then, it will form into a ball. Finally, it will become smooth.
- After 4 minutes, stop the machine and scrape the sides of the bowl. Add the honey and vegetable oil. Continue on high for another minute. Enjoy!
Brownie Peanut Butter
- Chop the brownie and walnuts into small pieces.
- In a medium bowl add 1 cup of the prepared peanut butter and fold in the brownie and walnuts until combined.
Birthday Cake Peanut Butter
- Chop the pound cake into small pieces.
- In a medium bowl add 1 cup of the prepared peanut butter and fold in the pound cake, sprinkles, and frosting. You can also just top the peanut butter with the frosting.
Notes
- If you have a high-powered blender you can make the peanut butter in there but you will need to scrape the sides a few times.
- You can also pulse the brownie pieces and walnuts a few times while in the processor and we loved the consistency.
- Store the peanut butter in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 months.
- You should use roasted salted peanuts. If you use unsalted just add a pinch of salt when you add the oil and honey.
- If you use raw peanuts make sure you roast them first. Toss the raw peanuts in oil and salt, roast at 350 degrees on a baking sheet for 30-35 minutes.
- We have not tried but I'm sure you can also use almonds to make almond butter. You may need to add a little more oil. If using almonds we recommend searching for a recipe using almonds.
- This recipe is perfect for a gift. Put it in a glass jar and give it to a loved one or friend.
