Air Fryer Homemade Peanut Butter
Description
Air Fryer Homemade Peanut Butter is a quick and easy way to make fresh, creamy peanut butter with just a few simple ingredients—no preservatives needed!
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw unsalted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil, optional, for creaminess
- 1 teaspoon Salt, to taste, optional
- 1 teaspoon Honey, or maple syrup, optional, for sweetness
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Place the raw peanuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Roast at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning; they should be golden brown and fragrant.
- After roasting, remove the peanuts from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Once cooled, transfer the roasted peanuts to a food processor. Blend for about 3-5 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. The peanuts will first turn into a powder, then clump together, and finally become a creamy paste. If you prefer a creamier consistency, add 1-2 tablespoons of peanut oil while blending.
- Once the desired consistency is reached, add salt and sweetener (if using) to taste, then blend again to combine.
- Transfer the roasted peanut butter to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray, optional
- Parchment Paper, optional
