Start with roasted peanuts, ideally unsalted, to make peanut butter.

If using raw peanuts, roast them on low heat until golden, then rub off the skin if needed.

Use a food processor to blend the peanuts until they turn into a creamy butter, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary.

If using a blender, stop and stir with a spatula to ensure even blending.

Continue blending until the peanut butter reaches a creamy consistency, which may take several minutes.

If you prefer chunky peanut butter, stop blending earlier when the desired texture is achieved.

For a smoother texture, blend longer until it resembles store-bought peanut butter.

Add sweetener to taste, keeping in mind that adding sugar or honey will increase the calorie content.

Blend again to incorporate the sweetener into the peanut butter.
