Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups roasted unsalted peanuts
- 1–2 tsp fine sea salt to taste
- 1.5 tbsp water
Instructions
- Combine 3 cups of roasted unsalted peanuts and 1–2 tsp of fine sea salt in a food processor, starting with 1 tsp of salt.
- Process the mixture for 6–10 minutes until it goes through several stages: starts sandy and crumbly, then clumpy, forms a dough-like ball, becomes a thick spreadable paste, and finally thins while sounding watery.
- Once the mixture is thin and sounds watery, add 1.5 tbsp of water while the processor is running. It will thicken immediately.
- Continue processing for another 30–90 seconds until smooth. Note that the mixture will be hot from friction and thicken as it cools.
- Transfer the peanut butter to a pint-sized mason jar and refrigerate.

You can use salted peanuts for added flavor, but adjust the salt accordingly.
