peanut butter
homemade goodness
Some things in life are just better made from scratch at home, peanut butter is one of those things.
Most grocery stores these days have a bulk section making homemade nut butters easier and cheeper than ever! I buy peanuts by the pounds at my local King Soopers or Sprouts and have stock to make at lest 4 batches of peanut butter for the cost of one store bought jar!
The other thing I love about making your own peanut butter is that you can flavor it exactly to your liking. Add in coconut oil, vanilla, and sugar for a sweet island flavor, add in coco powder for chocolate goodness, stir in crushed peanuts for crunchy PB and so much more! I make plain just peanuts for my dog too :)
The longer you roast the nuts in the oven the darker the color and deeper the flavor. I do mine about 8 minutes but feel free to adjust to your preference!
Peanuts is just the beginning - nut butters can be from cashews, almonds, macadamia and more!
Enjoy !
