Blessy's Kitchen: Peanut Butter/ Homemade Peanut Butter/ How To Make Homemade Peanut Butter

Am happy to make my own bread spread :) Peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies were my 'wanted' things when I was asked by my cousins and other relatives if I wanted anything from overseas. A jar of this yumm butter would last for a week or so in my home! #pbholic :) Now that I get here in India by Sundrop, am happy. Now, am even more elated because I can do it by myself. This is easy to make and can be done in a flash(if no power cut, lol)

To make good smooth peanut butter, use a good blender or food processor. I feel the mixer blender gives a smooth texture than the food processor. First, the mixture looks crumbly and dry but continue to blend, the oils get released from the nuts slowly, and that's how peanut butter happens! Add oil for even more creaminess. I do, I always do! Also remember, the longer you blend, the smoother your peanut butter is!

To make this recipe, you'll need the following ingredients :

Roasted peanuts	1 cup
Powdered sugar	3 tablespoons
Salt	1/8^th teaspoon - 1/4^th teaspoon
Vegetable oil	1 - 2 teaspoons

Method :

1. Add all the ingredients to a blender jar, except oil, and grind well.

2. Add a teaspoon of oil to the ground mixture and blend again.

3. If you like your peanut butter creamy rather than being stiff and paste consistency, add another teaspoon of oil and blend well. I have used 2 teaspoons of oil in total.

4. Your peanut butter is ready..
