Peanut Butter | How to Make Peanut Butter Using a Blender

If your peanuts are not already roasted, you can roast them in the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the peanuts on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool before using.
2. Add Peanuts to Blender
Place the roasted peanuts in your blender. If you’re using a high-speed blender, it will handle the peanuts with ease. For standard blenders, you may need to blend in smaller batches.
3. Blend the Peanuts
Start blending the peanuts at a low speed. Gradually increase the speed as the peanuts start to break down. The peanuts will go through several stages: crushed, chunky, and then smooth. This process can take 2-5 minutes, depending on your blender.
4. Add Oil
As the peanuts blend into a paste, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to help achieve a smoother, creamier consistency. Add the oil gradually, blending well after each addition.
5. Season and Sweeten (Optional)
