If you and your family love peanut butter like mine, do yourself a favor and make your own! You’ll have a hard time ever buying it at the store again, especially because it takes less than five minutes to whip up a batch that’ll last you at least a few weeks!
Nothing too it. Peanuts, raw honey and a food processor or high powered blender. Thanks for shopping our affiliate links! The commission we earn helps keep the blog rolling!
I buy the peanuts at Sams or Costco because I use 6+ cups per batch. We also love Beeyond the Hive Colorado Honey, they’re an awesome family-owned company that’s been beekeeping since 1908. I’d say they know a thing or two about making great honey! 😉 This is my fave, Raw Orange Blossom honey.
How to make honey peanut butter
Here’s a full how-to video:
If you can’t hang in there 4 minutes, here’s the 2 minute version. 😉
If almond butter is more your jam, you make it exactly the same way, but you just need a bit more patience as they need a little more blending to get nice and smooth. Cashew and mixed nut butters come together in about five minutes.
Once you’re done, add it to your smoothies, slather it on a fresh piece of artisan bread or just eat it by the spoonful!
Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 6-8 Cups Peanuts (dry roasted, honey roasted, mixed, or almond)
- 6-8 TBS of Raw Honey (1 TBS per cup of nuts)
Instructions
- Make this in two batches
- Place 3-4 cups of peanuts in your food processor, turn it on and just let it go. There is no need to stop the process until you're totally done. The heat from the blade draws out the oils in the nuts and is what makes this all come together in a perfectly smooth butter
- Once the nuts are broken down, stream in the honey. Continue to let the food processor run.
- Once you reach the smooth consistency you're after, you're done!
- Store in an airtight container (mason jar, plastic or otherwise)
