I eat a couple spoons of peanut butter a day, since I still cant chew. I want 20 large pizzas, but this will have to do for now. Even though I buy organic peanut butter, it still has tons of sugar in it, and lots of canola oil. That's a lot of calories. By using a sugar sub and a healthier oil option, and grinding it at home-its a lot healthier... its fun, and easy!
Homemade Sugar-Free Peanut butter
2 cups shelled organic peanuts
2 T sugar sub (splenda, stevia, whatever you like. You can use honey, but that has more calories than white sugar.)
1 T coconut oil (you can use any oil you have laying around, but I prefer grape seed, coconut or peanut...but its only a little oil, so whatever is fine.)
2 t Sea Salt..if you please
Preheat oven to 250 degrees
Shell the peanuts and spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for about 10 minutes, let cool. Put the peanuts in the food processor with the sugar sub. Turn it on. After about 2 minutes, slowly stream in oil. Add salt, and/or more sugar for taste. Let grind for 5 minutes for smooth, or just a minute if you like crunchy. Store in a jar. That's it. Healthy, yummy, and half the calories!
