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."

Making your own peanut butter from scratch in the Thermomix is quick and convenient.
We have a similar recipe for Thermomix almond butter, nutella and tahini on the blog, which are very popular with readers.
I use this peanut butter to make my delicious peanut butter bliss balls.

Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Peanut butter is made in a fraction of the time in the Thermomix compared to a regular food processor.
- There is no need to add additional oil - the blades are so powerful that the peanuts release their natural oils.
- Homemade peanut butter is cheaper than store-bought and contains no additives.
Recipe Ingredients
- Peanuts - use roasted peanuts. You can easily buy prepared roasted peanuts in the supermarket. They are usually lightly salted, which contributes to the flavour. To roast your own peanuts, preheat the oven to 180°C and spread the nuts in a layer on a baking tray. Roast for 10-20 minutes until well browned. Allow to cool completely before continuing with the recipe. You can also use peanuts in their skins for this recipe.

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.
