Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for added creaminess)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanuts: If your peanuts are not already roasted, spread them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. Let them cool before blending.
- Blend the Peanuts: Place the peanuts in a food processor or high-speed blender. Begin blending, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the container. Continue blending until the peanuts form a creamy butter. This process may take several minutes.
- Add Optional Ingredients: Once the peanut butter is smooth, add the honey and coconut oil if desired. Blend again until fully combined.
- Store the Peanut Butter: Transfer the peanut butter to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
- Customize the Flavor: Add a small amount of honey for sweetness or a teaspoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for added nutrition.
- Storage Tips: Homemade peanut butter should be stored in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. It can also be frozen in small portions for longer storage.
- Safety Note: Always use unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts without added sugar or preservatives to ensure the peanut butter is safe for your dog.
