See how creamy this deliciousness is?
Aren’t those peanuts so pretty? The stripes are so incredibly fascinating I can stare at them all day.
Actually, I can stare at them as long as I have a ginormous spoon slathered with PB in front of my face.
Healthy Homemade Wild Jungle Peanut Butter
Enjoy this sugar free and low carb Wild Jungle Peanut Butter anywhere that you would use regular peanut butter — spread on some toast, top a bowl of oatmeal, in a smoothie, or on a spoon.
- 4½ cups Wild Jungle Peanuts (I bought mine were raw from Whole Foods)
- ½ tsp Liquid Stevia Extract (or ½ cup Stevia in the Raw)
- ⅛ tsp Salt
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Lay the peanuts in a single-layer on a large baking sheet. Roast at 5-minute intervals, tossing the peanuts between each interval, for about 20 minutes total, or until fragrant. Let cool slightly.
-
Add the peanuts to a food processor and grind until smooth and buttery, scraping down the sides when necessary (takes about ~10 minutes total).
-
Add the sweetener and salt to taste. Grind again until smooth. Scoop the nut butter into a jar, seal tightly, and refrigerate to store.
