Categories     Nut     Cookies     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup Peanut butter
1 cup Sugar
1 egg

Steps:

  • Combine peanut butter, sugar and egg in a bowl.
  • Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop small balls of dough onto non-stick baking sheet or parchment paper.
  • Flatten slightly with a fork and crosshatch pattern on top.
  • Bake at 325 F for 14 minutes or until slightly browned.
  • Cool on rack.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peanut butter. Not all peanut butters are created equal. For the best results, use a creamy, natural peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your peanut butter recipe will taste. If you can, use ripe bananas, fresh milk, and creamy peanut butter.
  • Don't overmix. Overmixing can make your peanut butter recipe grainy. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Be patient. It takes time to make peanut butter from scratch. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a subpar product.
  • Experiment. Once you've mastered the basics, feel free to experiment with different flavors and add-ins. You can add chocolate chips, honey, cinnamon, or even bacon to your peanut butter.

Conclusion:

Making peanut butter from scratch is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little time and effort, you can create a delicious and healthy peanut butter that is perfect for spreading on sandwiches, toast, or crackers. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
