Which peanuts to choose?
To make peanut butter, I take unsalted roasted peanuts (the unsalted side is important because otherwise it would be really too salty! Nothing prevents you from adding a pinch of salt if you wish during the recipe).
Commercially, some unsalted roasted peanuts contain or do not contain sunflower oil: be aware that both work in this recipe. It’s as you prefer!

My tips for making peanut butter successfully
- I never miss the oven roasting stage : this is what gives peanut butter its unique deep flavor!
- continue mixing until see a liquid/creamy texture : the power of your robot may require a few more minutes of mixing, this is not a problem at all.
- if you like it peanut butter with pieces : set aside some roasted peanuts and add them just at the end of mixing, you will have small pieces left in your peanut butter.

How to store it properly?
Peanut butter can be stored at room temperature if you are sure to consume it within a few days of making it. However, I advise you to put it instead in the fridge, in its hermetically closed pot, to provide the keep 1 months.
The refrigerator also allows firm up its texture if you find it too liquid after mixing.

Homemade Peanut Butter (ONLY 1 ingredient)
Equipment:
Ingredients:
- 400 g roasted but unsalted peanuts
- Pinch salt optional
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 180 ° traditional heat.
- Place the peanuts on a baking sheet covered with baking paper, spreading them out well to prevent them from overlapping.
- Bake for 10 minutes to lightly roast them, to enhance their flavor. Leave to cool later.
- Place the peanuts in the bowl of a food processor. Mix on high speed for about 5 minutes. The peanuts will first turn into powder then into paste then into creamy butter. If the robot gets too hot, take breaks.
- If desired, add a pinch of salt before the end of mixing.
- Pour the peanut butter into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. To firm up the butter, place it in the refrigerator.
