Ingredients
Salted Peanuts
2 1/2 cups (No preparation needed; use directly from the can.)
Vegetable Oil (or canola, safflower, but NO olive oil)
4 tablespoons (Measure out the required amount.)
Honey
2 tablespoons (Measure out the required amount.)
Instructions
1
Begin by adding the salted peanuts to your food processor. Process them on high until they break down into a fine crumb and begin to clump together in the bowl.
2
Next, drizzle in the vegetable oil while continuing to process. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, adjusting the consistency to your preference.
3
Once the mixture is soft and well-combined, carefully lift the lid and add the honey. Process again until completely incorporated. This will help to tighten the peanut butter, giving it a delightful texture.
4
If you find that the peanut butter is too thick, you can add a few drops of additional oil to achieve your desired consistency. Keep in mind that the texture will firm up slightly when refrigerated.
5
Transfer the creamy peanut butter into a clean container. Seal it tightly and place it in the refrigerator to set.
