HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER



Homemade Peanut Butter image

Alton Brown's Homemade Peanut Butter recipe, made with roasted nuts, is an all-natural alternative to the store-bought kind, from Good Eats on Food Network.

Provided by Alton Brown

Time 5m

Yield approximately 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

15 ounces shelled and skinned AB's Roasted Peanuts, recipe follows
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 pounds in-shell raw peanuts (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 to 2 tablespoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place the peanuts, salt and honey into the bowl of a food processor. Process for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Place the lid back on and continue to process while slowly drizzling in the oil and process until the mixture is smooth, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Place the peanut butter in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Rinse the peanuts under cool water to remove excess dirt. Pat dry and place in a large bowl and toss with the peanut oil and salt until well coated.
  • Place on 2 half sheet pans, making sure to spread them out into a single layer. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through cooking. Once you remove the peanuts from the oven, let them cool slightly before eating. They will continue to "cook" and become crunchy as they cool.
  • If using peanuts to make peanut butter, remove shells and discard. Remove the skin by rubbing the peanuts together in your hands held over a salad spinner, allowing the peanuts and skins to fall into the bowl. Once the skin has been loosened from all of the peanuts close the salad spinner and spin until all of the skin has been separated from the peanuts.

EASY VEGAN PEANUT BUTTER-MAPLE ICE CREAM



Easy Vegan Peanut Butter-Maple Ice Cream image

With a flavor like the inside of a peanut butter cup and a plush, velvety texture, this four-ingredient ice cream is one of the easiest, most satisfying dairy-free recipes of its kind. The key is to use unsweetened oat creamer as the base. Not only does it have a neutral flavor and thick texture, but its starches also help keep iciness at bay. Simmering the maple syrup to eliminate excess water is another trick to enhance creaminess, and the concentrated maple flavor is delightful. A topping of chocolate shavings or sprinkles is optional, but really drives home the peanut butter cup comparison.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 4h20m

Yield About 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 cups unsweetened oat creamer
1 cup smooth creamy peanut butter (preferably not natural peanut butter, which can be gritty; see Tip)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Chocolate shavings or sprinkles, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, simmer maple syrup, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by a third, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let syrup cool completely, stirring it occasionally as it cools. You should have about 1/2 cup.
  • Place syrup, creamer, peanut butter, vanilla and salt in a blender or food processor (or use an immersion blender), and blend until smooth, 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Pour ice cream into a loaf pan.
  • Cover and place in the freezer to harden overnight or for at least 4 to 6 hours. Remove pan from the freezer at least 10 minutes before scooping and serving, topped with chocolate shavings or sprinkles, if you like.

EASY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Easy Peanut Butter Cookies image

These light, flourless cookies, from TV chef Nikki Elkins, are made with everyday ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about a dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together peanut butter, egg, sugar, baking soda, vanilla, if using, and salt until well combined.
  • Using a 1 3/4-inch scoop, scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Using the tines of a fork, gently press down on each scoop in a crosshatch pattern. Sprinkle with sugar and transfer baking sheet to oven. Bake until slightly puffed, 11 to 12 minutes. Cookies will still be soft. Let cool for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Tips:

  • Choose creamy peanut butter for the creamiest results. If you prefer a chunkier sauce, use crunchy peanut butter.
  • Add milk slowly until you reach the desired consistency. Start with a small amount of milk and add more as needed.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the sauce immediately over your favorite dishes. It's great with chicken, fish, tofu, noodles, or vegetables.
  • Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter sauce is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying sauce that will add a touch of spice to your favorite meals.
