Did you know that there is a National Peanut Butter Lovers Day? Well there is, and it is tomorrow! (Woo hoo!) So in celebration of this festive holiday (because who doesn't love peanut butter? Well maybe those who are allergic to peanuts, but they don't count - sorry!) I found a super easy recipe on how you can make your very own peanut butter. Here is what you will need:

Ingredients
  • 2 cups roasted shelled, unsalted peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional for low salt diets)

Directions
  • Place peanuts, oil, and salt into a blender or food processor.
  • Blend well, until desired texture is reached.
  • Place peanut butter in airtight container.
  • For crunchy peanut butter, add 1/4 cup of peanuts and blend again, but, for just a short burst or two.
  • The oil can separate from the peanuts during storage. Simply stir and serve.

How easy is that?!?! Though I will probably still keeping buying my jar of Jif peanut butter, one day I will make my own! And now for some fun ideas on what you can make with your homemade (or store bought) peanut butter:
Apple Peanut Butter Sandwich from Best Friends for Frosting

Peanut Butter Bars from Shugary Sweets

What is your favorite way to enjoy peanut butter? Have a wonderful weekend!
