Honey roasted peanut butter is such a staple in my house that I subconsciously depend on it to make my mornings a lot easier!

Especially with kids running around in the morning, I can hardly focus on getting ready, packing bags, and keeping an eye on everything else- let alone making an elaborate breakfast. However, as I spread the butter on the bread, I can’t help but glance at the label. One look at the ingredients list makes me feel guilty about feeding my children preservatives first thing in the morning!

The guilt turned into curiosity and made me wonder if I could create a homemade version. With a few tries(and some disasters!) I finally perfected a creamy honey roasted peanut butter that’s made with only 3 simple ingredients. Now, my morning starts with satisfaction and a jar of homemade peanut butter that lasts for days, too!

Flavor Variation You Must Try!

You don’t need to stick to the classic recipe if you don’t want to! Here are a few fun variations that are easy to adapt:

Chocolate Peanut Butter

Chocolate goes wonderfully well with the peanut butter! To add chocolate to this recipe, stir in 2 tbsp of cocoa powder while processing the mixture.

Spicy Peanut Butter

I wouldn’t typically go for a spicy flavor in my butter, however, it still tastes delicious if you are a spice lover. You can make it spicy by mixing in a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.

Coconut Peanut Butter

Want to feel the tropical vibe right at your breakfast table? Add 2 tbsp of shredded coconut to the mix for a sweeter taste!

Salted Caramel Peanut Butter

My favorite one so far includes caramel sauce and a pinch of sea salt. Just add 1 tsp of caramel sauce and a sprinkle of sea salt while blending- it’s a total game-changer!

Roast The Raw Peanuts

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, 176 degrees Celcius, and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Then, arrange the raw peanuts in a single layer on the baking sheet and place them in the oven to roast for 10-12 minutes or until dark or well-browned.
Toss the peanuts halfway during roasting to ensure they are cooked evenly.
Once roasted, take the peanuts out of the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before blending.

Health Benefits Of Homemade Honey Roasted Peanut Butter

My family’s favorite snack is toasted bread with peanut butter on top. But I feel guilty because of their ingredients, which are not healthy at all, whenever I spread the store-bought peanut butter. Store-bought peanut butter is loaded with excessive sugar, hydrogenated oils, and preservatives, which is unhealthy in the long run.

However, If you make this honey-roasted peanut butter at home, it is healthy and packed with protein, fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats. Also, you can customize them in terms of flavor, sugar, and salt as per your preferences. Most importantly, it is fresh, budget-friendly as well as healthy. Once you try to make this protein-packed nut butter at home, you will never buy the store ones.

Instructions

Blend The Peanuts

Transfer the roasted peanuts to a food processor.
Turn on the processor and pulse it a few times to break the peanuts down for 1 minute.
Open the lid of the processor and use a spatula to press down the peanuts along the sides of the processor.
Put the lid back on and blend again for another 2 minutes.
Keep using the spatula as needed until the peanuts go from crumbs to a ball to creamy peanut butter.

Add Honey and Salt

Turn off the food processor once the peanuts turn creamy, and add 1 tbsp of raw honey.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the peanut butter and taste to see if more is needed.
Continue blending the mixture for an additional 2 to 4 minutes until combined.

Adjust, Store, and Enjoy!

Taste the peanut butter to see if it needs more salt and honey.
Pour the peanut butter into an airtight glass jar or container.
Allow the peanut butter to cool at room temperature and store it in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can store the butter in the refrigerator for at least 1 month.
