Can you believe we are in our THIRD week of Kids in the Kitchen?!
This week Colin and I spent some time making peanut butter while James was at school. (It’s not nearly as hard as it sounds!)
DIY: Peanut Butter
Ingredients
- Dry Roasted Peanuts You can buy the jar at the grocery store or from the bulk section, your choice!
- Honey optional, as much or as little as you want.
Instructions
-
Get out your food processor.
-
Add peanuts (the more you put in, the more peanut butter you'll have).
-
Push start.
-
NOTE: The peanuts will go through phases. At first they'll look like crumbs, but let it keep running. Then you'll start to see the oils from the peanuts, but don't push stop yet! Once it starts to come together, stop the food processor, add some honey, then continue mixing until it looks like peanut butter.

It’s such a cool science experiment!!
Will you make peanut butter with your kids?
That looks so yummy! I’m almost out of peanut butter.. I should make some with the kids.
Yes you should!!
Oh wow that looks so easy!! I need to buy a food processor. Can you believe I have never owned one?
I bought myself this one for Christmas last year, but yes, you need one!! This is SO easy! The worst part is the noise – it’s loud (especially for the kids) for about 10 minutes.
Yum! We sometimes use the honey roasted peanuts to make peanut butter like this, skipping the honey. It’s awesome for ants on a log.
Great idea! And looks super easy! I’m going to have to try this…my kids inhale peanut butter.
Did the kids like it? the packaged stuff is so sweet compared to natural. I have a food processor too, might have to try it.
They LOVE it! We added some honey – but I didn’t measure … probably 2 teaspoons?
This seems so easy & my kids would love watching the peanuts turn into peanut butter!
Yummy! I need to Pin this and try it out with my kiddo sometime soon. OK, now I want some peanut butter. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this.
That looks so yummy!
That’s cool! I’ve never made peanut butter and I didn’t realize how easy it is!
This is so cool! I’ve heard that you could do this but I’ve never tried it myself, now I’m going to have to! 🙂
JACKPOT!! How fun and who knew how easy making peanut butter could be!! Thanks a ton!
Mine didn’t get smooth 🙁
It didn’t?! How long did you mix for? Maybe it just needed a longer amount of time?
