Once you've made your own peanut butter in the Thermomix, you'll never go back to store-bought. Just one ingredient - dry roasted peanuts - blitzed into the smoothest, creamiest peanut butter. All it takes is 5 minutes.
FEATURED REVIEW
"When I bought my TM31, the Everyday Cooking book that came with it said to add oil to the peanuts. It took a long time to find you. Thanks for showing me how to make great peanut butter without adding oil, even in a TM31."

This peanut butter is perfect for making my Thermomix Thai Peanut Satay Sauce or my Thermomix 2-ingredient peanut butter banana ice cream.

Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Much cheaper than store-bought natural peanut butter.
- Faster than making it in a regular food processor.
- You know exactly what's in it - just peanuts and nothing else.
Recipe Ingredients
- Peanuts - use dry roasted unsalted peanuts - readily available at Coles and Woolworths. If you can only find raw peanuts, see the section below.
How to Roast Raw Peanuts (If Needed)
If you can only find raw peanuts, spread them on a lined baking tray and roast at 175°C for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Allow to cool until just warm before adding to the Thermomix bowl.
Step-by-Step Directions
Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
Step 1
Add the peanuts to the Thermomix bowl.
Step 2
Mix for 1 minute at speed 9. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
Step 3
Mix for 2 minutes on speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula then mix for a further 1 minute on speed 5.
To Make Crunchy Peanut Butter
Roughly chop 50g of the peanuts with a knife into small, even pieces and set aside. Make the peanut butter as per the recipe above. Once done, add the reserved peanut pieces and mix for 3 sec/reverse/speed 3 until combined.
Storage
Transfer the peanut butter to a jar or airtight container and allow to cool completely before sealing. Store in the fridge for up to 1 month - it will thicken when cold but will return to its normal consistency once it comes back to room temperature.

So glad you enjoyed it Bill. The Everyday Cook Book is a good place to start but I decided to move on when they stated it only took 5-10 seconds to whip cream! Kind regards, Vicki

Have been making my own peanut butter in thermo for years. It is the best and only peanut butter my partner and I will eat. And there are no unwanted additives.
