Thermomix Peanut Butter
This peanut butter is smooth, creamy and made with just one ingredient. No added oils, no sugar, no additives. Just pure, natural peanut butter ready in 5 minutes.
Servings: 500 g
Ingredients
- 500 g unsalted dry roasted peanuts, note 1
- pinch of salt, optional
Instructions
- Add the peanuts to the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 1 min/speed 9. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
- Mix for 2 min/speed 5. Scrape down the sides, then mix for a further 1 min/speed 5 until smooth and creamy. The peanut butter will be warm from the blades - this is normal. Taste and add a pinch of salt if desired.
For Crunchy Peanut Butter
- Before you start, 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.
Notes
Peanuts: Use dry roasted unsalted peanuts - these are readily available at Coles and Woolworths. 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.
Storage: Transfer to a jar or container and allow to cool completely before sealing the lid. 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.
