Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups roasted peanuts (or substitute almonds or cashews)
- 1/2 tsp salt (optional; use sea salt or omit)
- 1–2 tsp peanut oil (optional; substitute avocado oil or skip for thicker texture)
Instructions
- If using raw peanuts, roast them at 350°F for 10–15 minutes until golden and fragrant.
- Let the peanuts cool slightly, then transfer them to a food processor.
- Blend for 2–5 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally, until smooth and creamy.
- Add salt or a small amount of peanut oil if desired, then blend again briefly.
- For a crunchy texture, pulse in a handful of chopped peanuts at the end.
Notes
Serve on toast with banana slices and chia seeds, drizzle over yogurt bowls, or pair with apples and celery for a healthy snack. Skip added oil for thicker texture or tailor salt levels based on dietary needs.
