Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (around 350°F).

Roast 3 cups of organic peanuts in the oven for around 15 minutes until golden brown.

For crunchy peanut butter, use 1/3 cup of pre-roasted store-bought peanuts and pulse them in the blender to break them up, being careful not to turn them into flour.

Transfer the pulsed peanuts into a bowl.

Add the remaining roasted peanuts into the blender jug.

Blend the peanuts for around 1-2 minutes until they become peanut meal.

Remove the filler cap and insert the tamper, pressing the peanuts into the blade in a circular motion.

After about 30 seconds, stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure everything is incorporated.

Stir the crushed peanuts into the smooth peanut butter mixture and transfer it into a jar.

For smooth peanut butter, repeat the process with just the roasted peanuts, blending them for around 30 seconds to 1 minute, using the tamper as needed.
