Store bought peanut butter is high on salt and contains added saturated fats, which are not good for you. Here's a really quick and easy recipe to make peanut butter at home.
Ingredients:
1 cup of peanuts, 1 teaspoon oil (you can use peanut oil or any other vegetable oil that doesn't have a strong fragrance) and a pinch of salt.
Take roasted, unsalted peanuts. If you are making this for the first time, go for ones that are already roasted and shelled. Later, when you are more experienced, you can shell the peanuts at home and roast them in the oven. Leave the red skin on if you like the taste.
Now put the peanuts in the food processor. Add the oil and the salt. Start the food processor.
Check after a minute or so. If you like chunks of peanuts in the butter, don't grind it for too long. But if you prefer a smooth paste, then grind them longer till its smooth.
If the butter seems too thick, add some more oil to it.
There- your homemade peanut butter is ready to eat. You can store it to eat later as well. Enjoy your treat and let me know how it turned out!
