Peanut Butter: Who Invented It?

Seriously, who was this brilliant individual? Marcellus Gilmore Edson, a Canadian, was the guy behind the mythology, having invented ‘peanut paste’ in 1884. The method of grinding roasted peanuts between two hot surfaces was known as this. In 1895, the technology was invented in the United States by John Harvey Kellogg (yep, the cereal Kellogg!) and the healthy staple that is now found in 94 percent of American households was born!

What would childhood be like if we didn’t get the renowned peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day for lunch?

Peanut Butter: How to Make It?

My family consumes a significant amount of nut butter, with peanut and almond butter topping the list. Making your own handmade versions is enjoyable since you can control what goes into them and mix up the taste combinations.

Use a food processor or high-powered blender with at least an 8-cup capacity. This gadget will assist in processing the correct amount of peanuts while also preventing machine burnout. Let’s go through the fundamentals for a silky smooth spread; here are the stages.

Peanuts should be roasted:

Peanuts that have been roasted have their oils warmed up, making them more fragrant and simpler to digest. The nuts are cooked for about 10 minutes at 350°F (177°C) in the oven. It’s ok to use unsalted raw or dry roasted peanuts. After roasting, the nuts should become a light golden hue. If you wish to create raw peanut butter, you may omit this step.

Pulverize The Peanuts:

In a food processor or blender, combine the heated peanuts. Before becoming smooth and creamy, the peanuts will go through many texture variations. The first step is to pulse the nuts a few times to break them up somewhat. Then process at high speed for 1 minute, until it resembles wet sand.

Process for another minute on high speed, then note how the peanut solids begin to clump together into a mound and the peanut oils begin to agglomerate.

Another minute of high-speed processing yields a thicker, chunkier peanut butter texture. The equipment will also heat up as a result of the processing.

Tips And Tricks for the 5 Minute Homemade Peanut Butter:

Are you ready to discover how to create peanut butter? Before you begin, there are a few things you should be aware of:

1. This dish is simple to prepare, but it does need patience. Before the nuts become smooth and spreadable, your food processor will need to run for about 10 minutes, including breaks.
2. You’ll have to pause the food processor frequently. Because making homemade nut butter may be tough on a food processor’s motor, pause it every 30 seconds to 1 minute to let it cool down. This is also an excellent time to scrape the bowl’s sides.
3. The number of peanuts you use should be proportional to your food processor’s capacity. In my 7-cup food processor, I use 3 cups of peanuts. You’ll need more nuts to make a smooth, creamy spread if yours is considerably larger.
4. Except for dry roasted peanuts and maybe salt, you don’t need anything else. In this recipe, you can use unsalted or salted peanuts, but if yours aren’t salted, season to taste with salt at the end.

How to Use Peanut Butter Made at Home?

This 5 Minute Homemade Peanut Butter may be used in a variety of ways. Here are some of my personal favorites:

• Spread it on a crusty piece of bread.
• Over a dish of oatmeal, granola, or overnight oats, drizzle it.
• Make homemade granola bars or energy balls using it as the binder.
• Toss it with noodles, spring rolls, or bowls to make a zesty peanut sauce.
• For a summer slaw, whisk up a peanut dressing.
• For added protein, blend it into a smoothie.
• Bake some cookies! In my chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies, peanut butter cookies, and chocolate chip cookie dough bars, it’s great.

Frequently Questions And Answers: 

My peanut butter did not come out as creamy as the photos!

Each food processor’s power varies somewhat, and it appears that a few additional minutes in the food processor are all that’s required.

What is the best way to keep my own peanut butter?

It works in the fridge or at room temperature! It’s better to keep it in the fridge if you’re going to be eating it for a few weeks.

Is it necessary for me to add the honey?

The honey helps to balance out the saltiness of the peanuts, but you can leave it out if you want to keep things sugar-free.

At room temperature, why is peanut butter solid?

Peanuts have a balanced mix of unsaturated and saturated fats of 80 to 20 percent. When peanut oil is treated, it warms up, becoming more liquid and flowable. The fats cool down when the peanut butter cools to room temperature or lower, and the saturated fats help the peanut butter firm into a more spreadable texture.

How To Store It?

This recipe yields roughly 1 cup of peanut butter spread. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks in an airtight container or glass jar with a lid. When compared to store-bought peanut butter, I’ve discovered that if eaten within a month, homemade peanut butter does not separate. This is due to the fact that the peanut butter is not being transferred and has been lying on the shelf for a long time.
