Peanut butter is a delicacy that we learned about from American films. In them, caring mothers prepare sandwiches for their children with this pasta and jam for breakfast.
With a blender of sufficient power, some peanuts and 15-20 minutes of time, you can easily prepare delicious peanut butter at home according to your preferences. Why is this better than just buying it at the store? Firstly, it is not sold in every store, and secondly, you yourself will choose the additives and “intensity”, that is, the flavor concentration of the paste. Options - from a very delicate taste to a “strong” one, bright due to well-toasted nuts, from a rather thin paste consistency to a very thick one.
When it comes to how to use peanut butter other than on sandwiches, the possibilities are wide. Considering that peanut butter is a lean product, it is used to replace butter. For example, they bake peanut cookies or cupcakes, prepare pasta cream, make ice cream and even a delicious peanut drink. You can also add peanut butter to all kinds of sauces, marinades, gravies, and salads.
The classic peanut butter recipe includes honey. I will not deviate from tradition and will prepare just such pasta.
Cooking time: 25-30 minutes.
Number of servings/yield: 350 grams.
Ingredients
To make Peanut Butter with Honey you will need:
- 300 grams of raw peanuts (shelled or in husks - it makes no difference)
- 40-50 ml odorless vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt (preferably sea salt)
My family loves to have sweet peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast. This is a great boost of vivacity and energy for the whole day. The paste contains peanuts, honey and a little vegetable oil. Peanut butter at home turns out incredibly tasty and aromatic. I am sharing my favorite recipe with step-by-step photos taken for visual illustration.
So, we need:
— peanuts (roasted) — 100 grams;
- honey - 2 teaspoons;
- vegetable oil (odorless) - 1 teaspoon.
How to make peanut butter with honey at home
We start preparing the delicacy by peeling the roasted peanuts. The main thing is to do this with dry hands so that the skin does not stick to your hands.
Pour the peeled peanuts into the blender bowl. Grind the nuts at maximum power. If desired, you can grind it either into flour or into small pieces. I prefer the second option, with fine grain.
Add liquid honey. If the honey is candied, then put it in the microwave before adding it. Pour liquid honey into the ground peanuts. You will immediately get an incredibly appetizing aroma, a combination of peanuts and honey.
Choose sunflower or olive oil, the main thing is that they are odorless. Pour oil into remaining ingredients.
Beat the paste with a blender for about one more minute. Transfer the resulting mass into a small container.
This amount of ingredients doesn't make much peanut butter, but it's enough to make about six small sandwiches for two people. If you need a large amount of paste, then the amount of ingredients should be doubled or tripled. 🙂
Fragrant, healthy and very, very tasty peanut butter with honey will be an excellent dessert. I serve it by spreading it on pieces of loaf.
You can top peanut butter sandwiches with shaved chocolate. This is simply a magical combination.
Cook with love for yourself and your family and bon appetit!

If your soul regularly asks you to drink tea with “something tasty”, while you count calories and don’t want to overeat, this is also your option - find out how to prepare peanut butter at home and put a freshly prepared treat in the refrigerator for snacking.

Peanut Butter Recipe
Ingredients:
- Peanuts (I have unshelled, unroasted) - 300 gr.
- Honey - 1 heaped tablespoon
- Salt - 0.5 teaspoon
How to make peanut butter at home:
You can buy nuts for the paste already shelled, but I had the most common ones on hand, so I used them.
First you need to roast the nuts. Pour into a frying pan with a wide bottom (so that the nuts are poured in one layer), put on low heat and fry until golden brown.
There is no need to grease the pan! You can also roast nuts in the oven: spread them in an even layer on a baking sheet and dry them at 180 C for 10-15 minutes.
Then pour the nuts into a bowl and cool slightly.
It is very easy to remove the skin from fried fruits using regular peeling. You can rub the peanuts between your palms or take 3+4 nuts in your hands and grind them with your hands. It is more convenient to do this on a flat plate of large diameter. Feel free to involve children in this process - they will really enjoy shelling peanuts and participating in the process.
The shelled peanuts need to be reheated in the pan before being put into the blender. The heated fruits will form a paste much faster, thereby making the blender's work easier and reducing the cooking time significantly.
Place the heated nuts in a blender. Now the fun begins - the transformation of tanned handsome men into a homogeneous mixture.
By the way, you don’t have to remove the peels from the nuts - in this case the paste will have a rich chocolate color.
We set the highest speed (in my blender this is the “Turbo” mode) and start buzzing. First you will see dust that looks like coconut flakes. At such a moment, I can’t even believe that the paste can be spread on bread. In fact, you are only at the beginning of the journey. Add 05 teaspoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of your favorite honey and continue the process.
After 10 minutes of beating, you need to look into the blender bowl again: the paste will begin to turn into a creamy consistency. Oil will begin to separate. At first it will look like plasticine or modeling mass. Keep whisking and soon the mixture will become more homogeneous. If your paste is too thick, you can add vegetable oil (many recipes call for this). You will need 2-3 tbsp of oil. spoons. 
I prepared nut butter at home in 15 minutes. Cooking time depends on the power of your blender and whether the peanuts are heated or not.
Note: peanuts contain large amounts of vitamin D, E and the entire B group. We should be grateful to homemade peanut butter for protecting our hearts, since peanuts are powerful antioxidants that prevent the cardiovascular system from pathologies.
A delicious snack is ready. Bon appetit!

Other cooking recipes
There are many recipes for making peanut butter:
- without oil
If you do not use vegetable oil during cooking, you can add water, then the finished product will become more liquid and easier to spread.
- without honey
If you or your loved ones are allergic to honey, replace this ingredient with maple or sugar syrup, Jerusalem artichoke syrup, agave, stevia, etc.
- with cocoa
A great way to get chocolate spread is to add cocoa powder to peanuts. For 200 gr. It will be enough to add 20 grams of raw nuts. grated milk chocolate in a bar or dark chocolate bar.
You can add other seeds, nuts, dates, raisins, figs and other dried fruits to the paste to suit your taste - it all depends on your preferences and desire to experiment.
For example, once at a party I tried homemade pasta with large pieces of peanuts that crunched on my teeth - I really liked this addition. But it’s very simple - put a few nuts aside, and at the end, after preparing the paste, crush them into large crumbs and add to the main mass!

We remove the roasted nuts from the husks and place them in a blender vessel. We punch the mass in the device until the product has a creamy consistency. The pure taste of the paste can be supplemented with chocolate if desired, made it salty or sweet, respectively, by adding pieces of chocolate, salt or honey to the bowl of the device with the finished paste and punching the contents until smooth.
