Peanuts Butter is full of nutrients and made very easily. You can do it in your own kitchen and avoid purchasing the product from the supermarket where all
It will not only be inexpensive but very nutritious and yummy as well. Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
2 cups unroasted peanuts
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sugar, optional
1 1/2 easpoons honey, fruits syrup, or brown sugar
Salt, a pinch, optional
Cinnamon powder, a pinch, optional
Directions:
Take peanuts. Before using them wash them in cold water to remove all dirt or germ. Then dry them completely. If they have skins, remove with your hands. If you want to roast the peanuts, make sure to go for high fat nuts.
Roast them. Some would prefer to roast the peanuts to have a better taste. But this is up to you and depends on your choice. It would make the whole procedure longer, so decide whether you would like it or not! You can get roasted peanuts ( salt free).
Anyway, if you want to roast them in the oven, follow the procedures below:
Place peanuts in a bowl and if desired, dip them in vegetable oil.
Heat the oven to 176 degrees Celsius.
Place the peanuts in a wide tray in only one layer. Make sure there is no peanut on top of another till they all get the same temperature.
Lay inside the oven 10 minutes till golden brown in color.
Every 2 minutes, shake the tray to avoid burning.
Allow them to get a bit cool, still a bit warm, and turn on the food processor and allow the appliance to work. This might take 20 to 30 miuntes. You might need to turn off the gadget occasionally and remove the mixture from the edges of the appliance and lead towards the center. At the end you will get a smooth and consistent creamy and sticky product. But don't expect to have something like what is offered in the stores as they are done with industrial machines and consist of additives and preservatives.
If this procedure lasted long, you might want to add in a little oil to the food processor. Add brown sugar or honey as well. (To have a better taste, you can sprinkle in a little cinnamon powder. If you like t to be sweeter, you can even add more.
At the end, transfer the peanut butter into a glass container and keep in the fridge.
