I am sitting snacking on this peanut butter and apple slices as I work on this post and videos because
IT’S SOOOO GOOOOD.
No, really. I don’t usually get excited about peanut butter, but this quick little recipe for smooth and creamy peanut butter is worth getting excited about.
True, you can make peanut butter with just peanuts. But adding honey for a touch of sweetness and olive oil for added creaminess makes this the perfect creamy peanut butter.
I use my Vitamix to blend everything together. You could also use a food processor.
Aldi is my favorite place for peanuts. I get the lightly salted peanuts with the blue lid. If you are using unsalted peanuts, you will want to add a little salt to your peanut butter for better flavor.

Ingredients
- 1/3 C olive oil
- 1/4 C honey

- Pour in the oil and honey into a high powered blender or food processor. Add the peanuts on top*.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until creamy, adding additional oil a tablespoon at a time as needed to achieve desired consistency.

Notes
*Adding the liquid ingredients first is important to help the peanuts blend easily.
You can substitute the olive oil for a different oil of your choice, however it will affect the flavor slightly.
Store the peanut butter for one week at room temperature or if it’s not eaten by then, you can refrigerate it for several weeks.
