Now that I've started making nut butters and know how simple and quick it is I am keeping myself supplied.
Here is the process.
These are unsalted roasted peanuts.
Mixed nuts produce a flavourful butter that varies with the variety of the nuts.
I plan to try adding some chunks of cocoa mass to a batch of the plain peanut butter but have not yet.
After grinding for a bit some oil is added. And then some more grinding.
I am not sure if a longer processing would result in a smoother butter. It gets thicker, of course, and I like it chunky; there is also some concern about burning out the motor on this small machine. Any experience with this?
Breakfast.
I also started making chappattis again and having a stack of them in the freezer with a quick pop into the toaster oven has me keeping that supply on hand. It takes about 20 minutes to make a dozen.
I've never tried making my own peanut butter, but have tasted some that others have made. Certainly mush better tasting and much more healthier for you.

Morning Linda
It does feel good to know what goes into it. I like how simple it is to do.

If I lived closer I would 'pop' in for breakfast. Looks yummy!
