You are here: Home / Recipes / Homemade Crunchy Peanut Butter
This homemade crunchy peanut butter recipe is made in a food processor and turns salted peanuts to peanut butter in less than 10 minutes!
Have you ever made your own nut butters?! So fun and SO delicious! It’s so easy to do in a big food processor. This homemade crunchy peanut butter was so easy to make, and the flavor options are endless!
Homemade Crunchy Peanut Butter Recipe
Start with 4 cups of dry roasted unsalted peanuts. I found these at the Whole Foods bulk bins labeled “peanut butter stock.” How cute.
7 minutes to a nut butter that smells just like a warm PB&J sandwich.
If you like it creamy, you can add some salt and stop here.
But I am a crunch-a-holic so I kept going.
= Perfectly classic in every way
Lunch today obviously involved the newly minted PB – had to test it out! No better way than PB&J
Use it in this recipe: No Bake Granola Bars with Peanut Butter {from Anne}!
Classic Crunchy Peanut Butter
I absolutely love my food processor [a wedding gift from Karen!] and have made everything from pimento cheese to bread crumbs to the latest – nut butters.

Excellent giveaway, Kath! I'm going to signup for your newsletter now. I love ALL Cuisinart products! They've been a big part of cooking since I can remember. My parents loved theirs; they had 3, I believe.
YUMMY @ homemade nut butter. That's on my 2011 to-do list.

Hey Kath! When you buy bulk items at WF, can you recycle the plastic bag after? Or do you know if it's possible somehow to use your own reusable bag?
Also, I'm curious appx how much honey you put on your salad. I'm trying to learn to eat salads without tons of Blue Cheese dressing and finding it very difficult!!!
Reply
TeeJ says
You can recycle the plastic bags.
Reply
Nicole says
I'm pretty sure the bags are recyclable, but it may depend on what your recycling center takes. I'm lucky that mine takes everything and doesn't require presorting.
I saw someone at WF this past week with her own reusable plastic container in the bulk area. She said she has them weigh her container when she arrives at the store, then they deduct the weight when she checks out.
Reply
Angie @ Musings VM says
I was tired of using all the plastic for produce and bulk items, and invested in these…
http://www.reuseit.com/store/flip-tumble-reusable…They add a *negligible* .001 of an ounce or something like that to my purchases, and work great. They ARE a fine mesh, so I wouldn't use them for millet, quinoa, nooch or flours, but for most things, they work great. (And are machine washable!).

we use these for produce & bulk bin items. the added weight is pretty negligible, love supporting a family business and get tons of compliments in the checkout line! wins all around.

My WF has paper bags as well, which I normally use instead of the plastic.
At our grocery co-op they have a register scale with the bulk items (and stickers and pens) so you can get the tare weight and stick it right on your reusable container.

Ugh, I just bought more PB this weekend- I always forget about making it myself! Crunchy is definitely the way to go.

I just got a food processor a couple months ago and I am definitely going to try this. You probably go through yours rather quickly, but about how long does the peanut butter last? I have a much smaller food processor though, so I'll probably take about three times as long as you did 🙂

I just have to say that I just made this tonight – it. was. AWESOME! I got an entire pint plus nearly a half pint of the stuff.
I used Spanish peanuts, as I didn’t find dry roasted unsalted at my local market (woo hoo, Sprouts!). The only thing I didn’t care for was the taking off of the skins (wasn’t sure how those would work). I also was able to use my homemade vanilla extract, which smelled divine.
You noted that you store it in the pantry – how come? I’ve always stored PB in the fridge (my family always bought Adams brand – only peanuts and salt), so that’s where I just put it. Will it be OK in the pantry? Even when the jars are half empty (which I forsee will happen on Thursday)?
Thanks for this – it was amazing, and I was so excited to finally empty out the jar of store-bought so I could make it! This is definitely a repeat!Reply
KathEats says
I don’t think peanut butter is required to be refrigerated for microbial growth reasons – I think it’s more about keeping the oils emulsified. I didn’t have a problem with oil separation in mine, so I didn’t chill it.

Kath, do you refrigerate your peanut butter? I made the honey crunch PB using your TJ recipe. It’s great. I doubt it will be around much longer. Sweet, gritty, salty and crunchy, what else can anyone hope for. Also, your hard boiled eggs look perfect in today’s salad. How do you make them? No Great Harvest breads around here. We’ve been missing out. Thanks for everything. Be well. You’re an inspiration to clean living and to eating at home, every meal. I find eating out disappointing these days, and, expensive.

I don’t refrigerate it! Room temp keeps it drippy.
My eggs are put in cold water, brought to a boil, immediately removed from heat and covered for 13 minutes

My mom got her food processor for her wedding 20 years ago and it still works like a charm! Ah, the good old days when producers cared more about making good quality products than stealing consumer’s money.

Hey this looks fabulous! I was wondering if you know the nutritional details on this peanut butter? Do you mind sending them to me via email too 🙂

I don’t, but it’s probably pretty similar to most other nut butters out there
