Healthy Homemade Peanut Butter

A deliciously good recipe for a homemade peanut butter, high in the healthy unsaturated fats in my previous blog post (mainly monounsaturated).

Ingredients

250g roasted unsalted peanuts
2 tbsp peanut oil (or try sesame oil for a bit of a different flavour)
pinch of salt
1 tsp cinnamon

optional:

3-4 medjool dates- if you would like a little hint of creamy caramel

or

2 tbsp cacao powder + an extra tbsp peanut oil – if you want a chocolate version

Method

Add all ingredients to a blender (remove seeds from dates if using) this will probably require a high-powered blender such as a Nutribullet, or some patience.
Blend on high until smooth. If you want it a little runny add an extra tbsp of oil.
Transfer to a clean jar, seal and store in the fridge, this will keep it fresher for longer.
