Honey Roasted Peanut Butter
Nut butters are simply called butter because when this nuts are grinned they get a spreadable consistency and a high fat content but definitely much healthier. They help in removing bad cholesterol and are a magic food, but with the store bought ones comes in added sugar or salt or many processed contents. Its really very easy to make but only thing required is patience and a good food processor or a powerful blender.
Peanut butter is a food paste or spread made using peanuts. It’s a very popular butter and is used as a spread on bread, crackers biscuits and even in confectionery items such as granola bars or even used in cakes and cupcakes. It is packed with a lot of good nutrients and healthy fats.
I made this peanut butter with simple red peanuts. I kept the skin intact and added some honey to add the sweet taste. I had omitted salt in the start but added at the end, for the kick. I had to use a bit of coconut oil as even after 8-10 minutes of grinding I was nowhere to the butter consistency. But this is optional and only add if you find it is not coming to the consistency. Also this will take time. Grind it for every 1-2 minutes and stop and again grind. I even left it in between for 15-20 minutes and then started again. But the end result was awesome. I am enjoying it daily with a slice of bread or on my crackers.
A funny thing happened on the day I was making this. I was all done with my butter and ready to take shots. There was a person who just came to my house to do some work. He was just eyeing the butter. when he was leaving he asked me whats that, I said its peanut butter. He was like, do you make it on your own. I said yes. I offered him to taste and he was so happy. I got a compliment that you should start selling in Jars. Hehe.
We are starting a new Blogging Marathon for the month of June 2018, where we a group of bloggers choose a minimum of 2 different themes and blog for 3 continuous day in a week. I have participated in 4 different themes for this month and the theme for this week opted by me is Condiments. So this is my second post on condiment’s. My earlier post was Spicy Vada Pao Chutney | Spicy Garlic and Red chilly Chutney.
So here goes the recipe:
Ingredients
- 300 gms of Red Peanuts (More or less as per you, but do not start with too much as it will take time to process.)
- 2 tablespoon of Honey (Can be substituted with Maple Syrup or Agave)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2-3 tablespoon Coconut oil. (only if needed and one can use vegetable oil or any flavorless oil)
Preparation
- Spread the Red peanuts on a baking sheet and drizzle honey and let it roast for 5 minutes or until you see the skins have started coming.
- This can be done on a pan with medium heat.
- Once cooled, take that in the food processor and start grinding in intervals of a min and every time giving it a quick mix as it has a tendency to get stuck up under the blades.
- I have not taken the skin out, you can if you wish.
- Repeat this until you get the desired consistency. Give a break after 5-8 minutes if it is not done. Repeat after some time.
- If needed add oil like 1 teaspoon or 1/2 tablespoon at a time, not more.
- We like our peanut butter a bit coarse and hence I did not go until very smooth consistency. Also for more smoother consistency oil will be required.
- Enjoy it with a slice of bread or on crackers or just gobble it 🙂

Homemade peanut butter is the best as you control what goes in. Nice choice.
Yes I too found that homemade peanut butter was way better than the store bought one..my kids don't like PB and hence I stopped making it…but a good one to have it handy if kids enjoy it.
Just love homemade peanut butter which is my kind of favourite spread. Looks how delicious its looks. Wish i get a huge bottle from u.
Earlier even I use to not like it…for kids try adding some chocolate in peanut butter…

Making nutty butters at home is awesome and you could actually take orders , The butter looks nice and must have been quite delicious.
Homemade nut butters are the best and we can feed kids without any guilt. Though it takes a lot of grinding, it is so yum. You have made it perfect Renu..
Homemade peanut butter is the best. I am spoiled here as I get to grind my own in the local store. So I get mine from there. Need to try this with honey.
Wow! This sounds like a fantastic idea. I am forever putting off making it at home.
Earlier my kids didn't like peanut butter but now they have developed a taste for it. I can definitely try this recipe to make peanut butter at home as nothing is like homemade.
Iam a Peanut Butter addict and this recipe with honey is irresistible.
my Suriname side of the family always makes homemade peanut butter because there are so many Indonesian Surinamese dishes that call for peanut butter like satay etc. the aroma that fills the house is just so amazing I can see why that worker wanted to try 🙂
Even i try peanut butter at home but i use jaggery.. So healthy and cheat compared to store bought ones!!
My kids go crazy over peanut butter,I make the regualar kind.Will try the honey roasted one next time.
My kid would love this….I keep planning to make peanut butter at home but haven't done so far. Yours looks so tempting that I got to try now. Honey and coconut oil would make it so awesome!!
I once tried to make peanut butter at home and my peanuts got burnt! I have to try it out again.I really don’t like the store bought ones and the organic ones are frightfully expensive. Looking at your recipe, its such a simple recipe. Adding honey is a good option especially for kids.
Yes, I neither liked store bought ones. I once bought an organic one and loved it, so decided to give it a go. Do try it and let me know. Thank You
