Equipment
- our Vitamix A2300
- Food processor
Ingredients
- 4 cup Dry roasted peanuts
Instructions
If you have a high-speed blender like Vitamix
- Turn on the Vitamix and slowly increase the speed to the maximum.
- Use the tamper to push down the ingredients if anything is stuck to the sides. Push it hard. Don't be afraid, the tamper will not reach the blades.
- Vitamix usually needs at most 2 minutes to be ready. Per their website notes, you shouldn't process it more than 1 minute after the mixture is circulating freely.
- When ready, use a silicone spatula to gently scrape all the yummy peanut butter out of the container.
If you have a food processor
- Pulse a couple of times in the beginning before turning it on completely.
- You must stop and scrape for a couple of times as the peanut butter will likely stick to the sides.
- To make peanut butter in a food processor you need more time than with a Vitamix. If the mixture or the food processor gets too warm, stop and continue only after everything has cooled down.
- Be patient! Depending on the power of your food processor, you might need 5-10 minutes to get the buttery consistency.

Notes
BONUS! Homemade Plant-based Nut Milk
Leave 1 Tbsp peanut butter in the blender and add 2 cups water. Optionally, you can add a bit of maple syrup and vanilla extract. Blend it for 1-2 minutes, and you have fluffy, creamy peanut milk. See, nothing goes to waste!
