Ingredients You Will Need
• Raw peanuts two cups
• Roasted chickpeas half cup
• Protein powder unflavored or vanilla two tablespoons
• Olive oil or peanut oil one tablespoon
• Honey or dates syrup one tablespoon optional
• Salt half teaspoon
• Warm water two to three tablespoons as needed
Step by Step Method
First start by cleaning the raw peanuts properly. Remove any bad peanuts stones or dust. Wash them with clean water and dry them fully using a clean cloth. Once dry take a thick pan and dry roast the peanuts on medium heat. Keep stirring them continuously so they do not burn. Roast until the peanuts turn golden brown and release a nutty smell. Turn off the heat and let them cool completely. Cooling is important for smooth blending.
Next take the roasted chickpeas and make sure they are fully dry. If you are using boiled chickpeas then roast them lightly in a pan until all moisture is gone. Dry chickpeas help increase protein and also make the peanut butter thicker. Let the chickpeas cool down as well. Cooling prevents oil separation during blending.
Now take a strong blender or food processor. Add the roasted peanuts first. Blend them for one minute. At this stage the peanuts will look crushed and powdery. Stop the blender and scrape the sides. Blend again for another minute. The peanuts will slowly start releasing natural oils and turn into a thick paste. Be patient and do not add water yet.
Add the roasted chickpeas into the blender with the peanut paste. Blend again until both are mixed well. The mixture may look thick and slightly grainy. Scrape the sides and blend again. This step ensures equal protein distribution in the peanut butter.
Now add the protein powder salt and honey or dates syrup if using. Blend again for one minute. The mixture will become thicker at this stage. Add olive oil or peanut oil slowly while blending. This helps improve texture and smoothness. Add warm water one tablespoon at a time if needed. Do not add too much water at once.
Continue blending until you get a smooth creamy texture. If you like crunchy peanut butter you can add a few crushed peanuts at the end and pulse once or twice. Taste the peanut butter and adjust salt or sweetness as needed. Once done transfer it into a clean dry glass jar. Close the lid tightly and store in the refrigerator.
