Peanut butter is a great source of healthy fat and protein, but also, it just tastes delicious. Pair it with chocolate, and all we need is a glass of milk and a smile. Today we’ve got 40+ Real Food Recipes that Include Natural Peanut Butter. But first, let’s talk about making homemade peanut butter. It’s incredibly easy!
As my life has become more full (ha, I didn’t think that was even possible!) – I’ve stopped making every single food from scratch. I’m looking at you Homemade Ketchup and Homemade Hashbrowns. But Homemade Peanut Butter? I can’t not make it. The homemade version is just too incredible. So I take 5-pounds of peanuts and spend the time turning them all into peanut butter. One mess, 6ish jars of homemade peanut butter. Fast, easy, and WORTH IT.
Here are the tutorials for making peanut butter. Be amazed at how easy!
- Peanut Butter (just peanuts!)

What are your favorite ways to use Peanut Butter?
We eat a ridiculous amount of peanut butter just on sandwiches or as a dip for veggies and apples. I also use it in some baking.
But my *favorite* way to use peanut butter? Drizzled on ice cream, of course!
Where do you buy your peanuts? The cheapest I’ve generally found is at ALDI, but I feel pretty awkward buying all the jars of unsalted peanuts (usually around 6-7 lbs: that’s just about enough PB for a month).
I order them in 5-pound bags through Azure Standard!

We have peanut allergies in our house, however, many recipes calling for peanut butter can be duplicated with peanut free nut butters, or our favorite, Sun Butter (made with sunflower seeds)
What a great idea! I am so glad you are able to adapt recipes to fit your family’s needs.
