Let me show you how peanut butter is done.
In less than 4 minutes.
With 1 ingredient.
If you’ve been reading for awhile, you already know that I have a slight obsession with peanut butter.
I tried to see how long I could go without eating it a few weeks ago. I lasted less than 4 hours. Who was I kidding?
For all my recipes, I typically use Jif Creamy. I grew up on Jif. It’s my very favorite. Recently, however, I’ve been making my own peanut butter.
It is SO good. So simple and so much cheaper by volume than storebought. In less than 4 minutes, and with only ONE ingredient, you can have homemade peanut butter free of added oil, salt, sugar, and preservatives. The recipe is so simple, I feel bad typing it out for you…

Makes about 1 cup of peanut butter. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups honey roasted peanuts (you may also used plain roasted peanuts, salted or unsalted according to your taste)
Instructions
- Add peanuts in the bowl of a food processor with a blade. Process until the nuts go from coursely chopped to finely ground. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
- Process again until the peanuts resemble a thick and relatively smooth peanut butter.
Notes
* You may add 1-2 tablespoons of a neutral tasting oil (canola oil, peanut oil) during the blending process to make the peanut butter is extra creamy. This depends on your taste preference and/or if you are concerned with calories.
* If you have a food processor like mine, this whole process will only take about 4 minutes.

i will! thank you so much
I think we have the same blender!
This homemade peanut butter is a great idea. It will definitely make me feel less self conscious
Thanks for sharing!
i swear by this blender/food processor!
Me too! I use it all the time. I don’t know what I would do without it now! Seriously, it’s probably the best purchase I’ve made for my kitchen!
omg …you can make your own.. !??!! unfortunatly i don’t think the blade of my mixer would survive this
I just ADORE peanut butter! being french, i discovered it quite “late” thanks to the movie “meet joe black” in which Brad Pitt tastes it for the first time. If Brad Pitt was doing it, I had to too
I try not to buy too much of it though…so i don’t carry it around in my pocket with a spoon…
But when i do I love to do the chocolate cupcakes with a peanut butter topping. Pretty classic.
But i’m pretty sure anything covered in peanut butter would taste delicious !
great movie! and i LOVE your idea of peanut butter covered chocolate cupcakes.. nothing’s better than peanut butter & chocolate!
I’m a bit of a weird one when it comes to dipping things in peanut butter, for example love dipping carrot or red pepper in it. Smarties are also amazing with a cheeky scoop of Mr Peanut on top, tastes just like a Reece’s piece!Love your peanut butter recipes
i LOVE carrots in peanut butter. by far, my favorite peanut butter “dipper”
I can’t wait to try this
I love this Bakerella recipe. Mmm Mmm mmm! They are such a perfect blend of peanut butter and chocolate.

ok Lizzie, i’m in love with this cookie recipe. i’m actually saving the recipe right now because i’m totally making them as soon as possible. yum! THANK YOU!
I love that in four minutes you have this glorious PB to show for the time spent! Best use of 4 mins ever!
AGREED!
This is awesome! what a great idea.
Now I need to try making this AND all your other PB creations
How decadent!
Happy Easter!

Love the idea of using honey roasted peanuts to make peanut butter! YUMM!! I don’t think I’d be able to stop eating that stuff. Recently I made Pecan Butter which is delicious!! Here’s the link: http://digintobooks.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/pecan-pie-butter/.
I too add chocolate to my peanut nutter… sometimes I even take a dark chocolate bar and dip it straight into the pb jar. Yum! Thank you for sharing!
dark chocolate and peanut butter? mmmm love that combination
Hi there, I have recently been trying to make chocolate peanut butter. my family loves the Mr. Peanut butter company dark chocolate dreams peanut butter. I have started making peanut butter at home and want to try this one. I tried adding cocoa powder and some agave nectar. It came out powdery. It think I need to try to add some oil to bind it together. I was online searching for tips. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you!
By adding powder to the PB, you are creating a particularly thick paste that agave couldn’t thin out on its own. Try adding a touch of canola oil or peanut oil to bring it back down to a PB consistency. Chocolate peanut butter sounds incredible! I would also try melting chocolate chips and using that instead of cocoa powder. Let me know how it turns out!
Ahhh butter! Not nutter… But nutter butters on the other hand are good too.
I love to make my own peanut butter, almond butter and cashew butter when I go to gourmet grocery stores that have the machines that grind the nuts for you. Fun, fresh and delicious!
i’d love to try homemade cashew butter! maybe next time.
You should make peanut butter cups! Or peanut butter pie. Or peanut butter cookies. Heehee. I love peanut butter too! I go through stages where I can’t get enough and then I don’t eat it for a few days then I can’t get enough again.
YES Reeni. i should make your peanut buter cup pie. it’s definitely on my recipe bucket list! god knows if i can make it look as pretty as the original though
Excellent post. I was checking constantly this blog and I am impressed! Very useful information specifically the remaining part
I take care of such info much. I used to be looking for this particular information for a long time. Thank you and good luck.
thanks so much!
Wow – I never knew it was that simple. I’m definitely going to give this a try. your peanut recipes look fab!
it’s SO easy. let me know if you try it out
just saw this on FG! congrats!
BTW I dont get comment replies from you unless I come back and actually check your site. If I check the notify box, I get comments/comment replies from everyone.
Averie, thanks for letting me know. I had NO idea my commenters wouldn’t be receiving my replies unless they visited my site. You are so helpful! I just changed the settings, so hopefully you received this via email.
I have made this twice in two days! The first time I used Trader Joe’s honey roasted peanuts and the peanut butter was WAY better than the second time when I used Target brand. Still delicious but I recommend high quality nuts!
VERY good to know! i’ve only used higher quality nuts when i’ve made the peanut butter and now i’ll remember that’s the way to go.
I tried it again, using equal parts of the Trader Joe’s nuts and Target brand…and it tastes just like it does with only the higher quality nuts! So the more expensive nuts can be stretched further…more bang for your buck!
i like the sounds of that!! i’m going to try cheap nuts/ TJ nuts next time i make it. thank you for letting me know
I love making homemade PB. It’s the best!
I was going to make the homemade peanut butter! How long do you think it will be good for? I’m not sure how much to make!
Thanks!!
I am going to say up to 3 weeks in the fridge. Mine did not last that long at all! It is very addicting
Try making the 1 cup that the recipe calls for first. You will eat it up quickly, i swear!
I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of the PB and chocolate combo!

storebought PB has NOTHING on homemade. Seriously, you have to try it Val!
Wow. I never tried to make peanut butter at home but after seeing your recipe. I’ll definatly try to make it. My kids love peanut butter on toast. Thanks.
Thanks! This is my favorite peanut butter.
I am having trouble getting mine to become creamy. it seems to stay in the paste form and has definately taken way longer than 4 minutes. I have a ninja too. what am I doing wrong. Ive followed the directions.
Hey Amber! My ninja seems to do the tick. Try adding a smudge of neutral tasting oil like canola oil or even peanut oil. That may help loosen up the paste. Thanks so much!
Hey Sally, I love your blog and I’m so excited to make this peanut butter!! Just wondering how and how long you store the leftovers?
Hey Brittany! I am so glad to hear that – store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. It won’t last that long, I promise.
Hi! I was wondering if I could use a blender instead of the food processor?? Thanks! Love your blog!
Hi! Yes, a blender will work just fine.
Hi! I’ve been looking into making peanut butter and your food processor idea was really interesting. I read Here that you can use a grain mill for making peanut butter, too. Do you have any experience with those? I don’t think my food processor could handle grinding up roasted nuts…
I do not have any experience with those, sorry!
How long does it last and does it have to be refrigerated? I want to try it for my kids to get them away from the processed stuff. Thanks
Hi Amy, I mention in the post that it has to be stored in the refrigerator and lasts 3 weeks.
