Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

Okay, maybe just the peanut butter part. But jelly would go great with the recipe I'm about to show you. Do you love that fresh ground peanut butter they sell at Central Market and other fancier grocery stores? I know I do, but I don't like paying the huge price tag!!! I discovered a few months ago, however, an easy way to make this glorious condiment at home! All you need is a blender. :)

                               Honey Cinnamon Peanut Butter
 
  • 1/2 oz Peanuts (I used half of a 1 oz can of salted party peanuts. If not using pre-salted, add salt to taste.)
  • 1-2 tbsp Grapeseed Oil
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • A few dashes of Cinnamon (I used around 2 tsp)
Place all ingredients in your blender of choice (a food processor would work too!) and let 'er rip! In a few minutes you will have the creamiest, most delicious fresh peanut butter you've ever tasted! And it's super cheap and easy!!!

Feel free to experiment with all kinds of nuts and flavors! Brazil nuts, cashews, almonds, and even sunflower seeds make yummy and nutritious butters that go great on sandwiches or with fruits and veggies. You can also add vanilla, ginger, or even cayenne for a spicy nut butter! Even better, make your own Nutella at home with chocolate and hazelnuts!! Have fun creating all kinds of delicious options and remember to stay clean while you're at it!!! :)
