Calling all peanut butter lovers! Did you know that all you need to make homemade peanut butter is one simple ingredient? Peanuts! You’ll also need a small food processor and a mason jar and you are on your way to making homemade, drippy peanut butter that everyone will adore!

Although peanut butter is higher in fat, it is jam packed with good stuff.

• High in protein: Just 2 tablespoons of peanut butter contains 7 grams of protein, which your body uses to build and repair muscle tissues. Pair with a half a banana for a post-workout snack!
• Contains healthy fats: Monounsaturated fats help lower your risk of heart disease and type-2 diabetes.
• Contains Potassium and Fiber: Potassium helps counteract the negative affects of sodium and fiber helps regulate your digestive system.

Peanut butter is not only a healthy addition to your diet, but very versatile in your every day eats. My favorite way to eat peanut butter is with my oatmeal for breakfast. It’s also tasty on top of whole-wheat toast, in smoothies, or on top of a sweet potato.

Here is one of my favorite recipes using honey-roasted peanuts.

• 8 ounces or 1.5 cups of honey roasted peanuts

Instructions

Using a small food processor, process peanuts on high for 2-3 minutes or until it becomes smooth. You may have to stop a few times to scrape the sides.

Tip: Feel free to use any flavor of peanuts, just make sure that they are roasted before you process them.

Have a peanut allergy? This recipe works perfectly for any roasted nut. So grab a bag of almonds or cashews and make peanut-free nut butter!
