Instructions
Classic Homemade Peanut Butter
- Place 3 cups of peanuts in a high-speed food processor. Process peanuts on high for 5-8 minutes, stopping every minute or so to scrape the sides if needed. You know your peanut butter is ready when it's drippy (it took us about 6 minutes!).

- Add in honey, vanilla extract, and coconut oil and blend. At this point your peanut butter might seize and get uncreamy. This is normal and what the coconut oil is for! Blend for 2-3 more minutes or until things smooth out again.
