Save money and be in charge of the ingredients and make peanut butter at home.
If you are looking for more healthy recipes, you will love this Homemade Sunflower Seed Butter and my Coconut Almond Butter.
These would be extra delicious with some Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latte, Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate or even some Spiked Apple Cider!
Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!
Why You Should Make This Homemade Peanut Butter
For those who have a Vitamix, it's not just easy, it's ridiculously easy. I added some ground flax seeds to add fiber and antioxidants.
Many of the store bought varieties of even natural peanut butter contain added inflammatory oils like soybean, cottonseed and palm oil. Many also contain unnecessary added sugars as well.
This homemade peanut butter recipe contains only two wholesome ingredients and no added junk.
Recipe Tips
The beauty of this recipe is that you can add whatever you like to it... honey, salt, oil, other nuts or seeds. You can use different nuts like almond or cashews, or even use two of them together!
It is so versatile and easy to make. Go ahead and get creative and feel free to experiment with different seeds and nuts!
Sometimes I blend various nuts together just to mix it up and use the nuts that are already in my house. Whenever I make this I put it in an airtight container and place in my pantry for up to 7 days (if it lasts that long!)
How To Make This Homemade Peanut Butter
Place peanuts and flax seed into Vitamix, other high speed blender or food processor.
Turn blender or food processor on the highest setting until all peanuts are completely blended.
So easy, right??
I know this is an old picture but you get the idea.

My wife used to get a commercial smooth peanut with flax seed. It had 6 grams of carbs and 6 grams of fiber for a net carb count of 0! Perfect for her Atkins diet and mytype 2 diabetes.
What is the net carb count of your peanut butter?
