From , former About.com Guide

With just three ingredients, you can make your own natural peanut butter at home. The oil and salt are optional, so you can make it with just peanuts, too!

Cook Time: 3 minutes

Total Time: 3 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup roasted peanuts
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons oil (peanut oil preferred)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

Put all ingredients in a blender or a food processor.

Blend until mixture is spreadable.

You may need to stop blending and scrape the sides occasionally.

If you would like to add a sweetener, add it about a teaspoon at a time until it's as sweet as you'd like. Some good sweeteners are honey (if your child is past 1 year of age), brown rice syrup, agave nectar or corn syrup.

Store the mix in the refrigerator.

If the oil and peanut butter separate, stir before serving.
