Mixing Method

Turn the unopened jar of separated peanut butter upside down, the idea being that as the oil then flows upwards it will slowly mix itself into the thick peanut butter.

Most peanut butter is vegan

Most types of peanut butter are made using just a few simple ingredients, including peanuts, oil, and salt. Some types may also contain other additives and ingredients like molasses, sugar, or agave syrup — all of which are considered vegan.

And it's also a lot cheaper than store brands. You will love the texture. If you want it thick put it in the fridge. If you like it soft and runny keep it out.

Because homemade peanut butter contains just peanuts, it'll last for up to 3 months if kept in an airtight container in the fridge. You'll know if the peanut butter has gone bad if it smells rancid (trust me, you'll know if it's gone bad!).

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.

For example, if you're making peanut butter, you'd use peanut oil — and walnut oil for walnut butter. However, if you don't have the corresponding oil, just use one that's neutral and flavorless like peanut, canola, vegetable, or grapeseed.

Make peanut butter any way you please, and it'll be delicious. For a crunchy-silky texture, call upon your mortar and pestle plus hand mixer. For the smoothest, least-gritty stuff, break out a high-powered blender. If you don't have one, use a food processor for nearly identical PB.

To ensure that your peanut butter lasts longer, it's important to store it properly. Although it doesn't need to be refrigerated, cold temperatures ensure it lasts longer. If you prefer not to refrigerate your peanut butter, aim to keep it in a cool, dark place, such as the pantry.

All you have to do is store the peanut butter jar upside-down in the fridge. Once you're ready to spread or scoop just flip the jar over, open it, and scoop—no stirring required!
