A KitchenAid® food processor with multipurpose blades and various speed options can help you create homemade nut butters to have on hand whenever you have a craving. Read on below to learn how to make homemade peanut butter in your food processor to add to toast, stir frys or smoothies.
Easy homemade peanut butter recipe
Homemade peanut butter is a simple recipe that you can easily customize to your taste. Learn how to make peanut butter in your food processor with the following steps.
Yields
10-12 servings
IngredientS
Unsalted roasted peanuts
Cooking oil like vegetable or canola oil
Salt
TOOLS
Food processor, like the KitchenAid® 13-Cup Food Processor with Dicing Kit

Step 1: Add peanuts to food processor
To start making your own peanut butter, pour the unsalted roasted peanuts in the bowl of your food processor and attach the lid.
Step 2: Process and scrape peanuts
Process the peanuts on low for 3–4 minutes, then scrape the sides of your food processor with a spatula. The peanuts will first turn to crumbles, form a ball and then break down into a creamy paste. Continue to process and scrape until your peanuts have gone through each stage.
Step 3: Drizzle in oil and seasonings
Once your peanuts have formed a creamy paste, stop the food processor and sprinkle in your salt and any other ingredients, like chocolate chips, cinnamon or honey. Begin to process the paste and drizzle in the oil while the food processor is running. Continue to process your peanut butter until it is smooth and the oil has been fully incorporated. Store your peanut butter in an airtight food storage container.
Which food processors are best for making peanut butter?
Food processors fitted with a multipurpose or S blade are the best option for making homemade peanut butter. Both large capacity and mini food processors/choppers can help you create your own nut butters, but you may need to adjust the recipe based on the size of your appliance.
