home made peanut butter (also keto friendly)

[MissThing]

forgive me if it's been posted before, I did search befroehand.

I've just tried to make my own peanut butter and it quite literally takes seconds!

1. put some peanuts into a herb/coffee grinder.
2. blend untill it's all powdery (30 seconds?)
3. drizzle in some oil and blend again

I used estate olive oil, which has an over powering taste. Peanut or palm oil might be a better alternative.

the best thing is, you know exactly what's in it

Good post. If you have a food processor, this will work really well for big batches. I'd say just use peanut oil. But not palm oil! That stuff is like Frankenfat. horrible, horrible stuff. You can do the same thing with almonds and save tons of money as opposed to buying almond butter.

Yep for just a little bit of effort you can save yourself a ton of
money.

I guess palm oil is no good on a low(er) fat diet but it's great on keto, and it's almost a staple in some cultures . typically you'd only add a little palm oil to cooking, anyway

that occured to me afterward. I really need to buy some for other things, anyway.

I love using coconut oil when I do keto it has a really subtle but awesome taste.

Could you use canola oil in it? I'm a noob with conola so I don't know really how it works

It's an oil. You put it in food.

I know that. I mean like would it work well with peanut butter. I don't know what it works well with and what it doesn't
