Kids always want to lick some peanut butter from the spoon. But when you open the peanut butter bottle, you’d see the peanut oil on top; how much calories do you think is in it? Anyway, I’d like peanut butter minus the oil, so I looked for a peanut butter recipe that my children will really like.
Ingredients
1 cup roasted, shelled peanuts
1 1/2 teaspoon butter or margarine
1 tablespoon sugar
a dash of salt (omit if using salted peanuts)
Procedure
For creamy peanut butter: Place ingredients in a blender. With the lid secured, blend until mixture becomes pastelike or spreadable (3 to 4 minutes). If necessary, stop the machine and use a rubber spatula to scrape mixture from the sides of the container back into contact with the blade. Continue blending until desired consistency is reached.
For crunchy peanut butter,stir in 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts after the blending is complete.
