I made this and realized it is the perfect peanut butter for sweets. Of course you can use it in the traditional way as well, but I was very happy with it! I love homemade peanut butter so much more than anything I have ever found in a store! Here is how it is made:
In a powerful blender (we used a Vitamix) add:
- 1 1/2 cups of roasted salted peanuts
- 1 Tablespoon of raw cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons of olive oil
Blend until creamy and smooth! I originally made this for our Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownies and they were delicious! Peanut butter and jelly time anyone?
I’ve never seen olive oil in peanut butter, this *has* to be a Greek thing! Haha.
There’s just so much olive oil here!
