Food Processor Peanut Butter

FOOD PROCESSOR PEANUT BUTTER

Steps:

• Using the metal blade, process ingredients continuously for 2 to 3 minutes. The ground peanuts will form a ball which will slowly disappear. Continue to process until the desired consistency is obtained. If necessary, stop machine and scrape sides of container with a rubber spatula.
• For crunchy peanut butter, stir in 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts after the processing is completed.
• Yields 1 cup creamy or 1-1/2 cups crunchy peanut butter.
• Store in a tightly closed container in the refrigerator. Oil may rise to the top. If this occurs, stir before using.

5 MINUTE HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER

Steps:

• Place peanuts in a food processor. Turn the food processor on and let it run for 4-5 minutes. During this time, you'll see the peanuts go in stages from crumbs to a dry ball to a smooth and creamy "liquid" peanut butter. Stir in the honey and any additional salt, if you want.
• Store in the fridge or at room temperature if you think you'll go through it fast enough.

PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place peanut butter, protein powder, rolled oats, chia seeds, honey, and mini chocolate chips into a medium bowl.
• Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix the dough together. At this point, begin to add water by the teaspoon.
• Depending on how drippy your peanut butter is, you'll need to add more or less water. The water not only helps moisten things so your balls hold shape, but they actually help your balls become less chalky.
• Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop dough into your palms. Roll into balls until all dough is gone. You should get somewhere between 14-16 balls.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

PEANUT BUTTER FLAXSEED FUDGE RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the milk, honey, peanut butter and flax seeds in a food processor.
• Blend together until smooth and fudgy (add extra milk if needed). Stir in the remaining peanuts.
• Line a small baking tray with baking paper and pour the mixture into the tray.
• Freeze for an hour.
• Cut into 12 even pieces.

HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER

Steps:

• Place the peanuts, salt and honey into the bowl of a food processor. Process for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Place the lid back on and continue to process while slowly drizzling in the oil and process until the mixture is smooth, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Place the peanut butter in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Rinse the peanuts under cool water to remove excess dirt. Pat dry and place in a large bowl and toss with the peanut oil and salt until well coated.
• Place on 2 half sheet pans, making sure to spread them out into a single layer. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through cooking. Once you remove the peanuts from the oven, let them cool slightly before eating. They will continue to "cook" and become crunchy as they cool.
• If using peanuts to make peanut butter, remove shells and discard. Remove the skin by rubbing the peanuts together in your hands held over a salad spinner, allowing the peanuts and skins to fall into the bowl. Once the skin has been loosened from all of the peanuts close the salad spinner and spin until all of the skin has been separated from the peanuts.
