, require a lot of manual help to get going. It’s easier to throw the nuts in my food processor and let the processor work it out.

I’m happy to report that peanut butter blends much more easily than my other nut butter recipes. Once you make peanut butter, you’ll want to try the rest!

Try just one or try them all! Crunchy cinnamon-honey peanut butter sounds wonderful to me.

Honey and peanut butter is perfection, but maple syrup is also fantastic. With homemade peanut butter, you have full control over the sweetness level. I found 1 teaspoon to be lightly sweet, 2 teaspoons noticeably sweet and barely honey-flavored (it thickens the mixture quite a bit!), and 1 tablespoon tastes like a treat, with light honey flavor. 

Try adding some ground cinnamon for some warming spice. Use 1/2 teaspoon for subtle flavor, or up to 1 tablespoon if you’re a big fan.

For some crunch, reserve about 3/4 cup of the peanuts. Blend the rest as directed, then add the reserved peanuts back to the processor and process just until they are broken into small bits.

Substitute almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts or pistachios for some of the peanuts.

It’s hard to beat peanut butter on toast! To take it to the next level, drizzle it with honey. Stir a dollop of peanut butter into your morning oats to make them more hearty—try my overnight oats, oatmeal, and steel-cut oats.

My toddler’s favorite snack is —simply stir a generous spoonful into some Greek yogurt. Add honey or cinnamon if you’d like.

like Peanut Butter Oat Cookies, Monster Cookies or Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispy Bars. You can also use peanut butter to make my Easy No-Bake Granola Bars.

Make peanut butter dipping sauce and serve it with spring rolls or drizzle it over these mango burrito bowls. Or make Vegetarian Peanut Soup!

Of course, we can’t forget the which is a regular in my daughter’s lunch box. You’ll find more uses for peanut butter here.

I love hearing from you.
