 I'll never forget my first DIY batch – it was mind-blowingly easy! A handful of ingredients, a blender whirl, and boom: creamy, dreamy peanut butter perfection. Plus, it's 100% vegan and free of any funky additives.

The beauty of vegan peanut butter is its versatility. It's a superstar in sandwiches, desserts, and everything in between, all while packing a punch of plant-based protein and healthy fats. Smooth or crunchy, you're the boss of your own peanut butter destiny. 

And let's not forget the nutritional perks: peanuts are loaded with heart-healthy fats, fiber, and essential vitamins. This homemade version is basically a flavor upgrade from store-bought – fresher, tastier, and healthier.

Vegan Peanut Butter

For 1 Jar

Author: Chris
Total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of roasted peanuts (unsalted)
  • 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil (optional for extra creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or agave (optional for sweetness)
  • Pinch of salt (to taste)

Steps:

  1. Blend the peanuts: Add the roasted peanuts to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high for about 2-3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. The peanuts will first turn into a crumbly texture and then gradually smooth out into a creamy butter.
  2. Add coconut oil and sweetener: Once the peanut butter is creamy, add the coconut oil if you want a richer texture, along with the maple syrup or agave for a touch of sweetness. Blend again until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Adjust seasoning and store: Taste the peanut butter and add a pinch of salt if desired. Transfer the peanut butter to a clean jar and store it at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the fridge for up to a month.

Steps

Notes:

  • If you like your peanut butter chunky, reserve a handful of peanuts and pulse them in at the end for added texture.
  • For a fun twist, try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract!
