Peanut or Groundnut are easily found in Indian households. They are a good source of protein and healthy fats. Comparatively lower in carbs and yet higher in overall calories. They are also a good source of vitamin E, Folate, thiamine, and a few other micronutrients. They are usually consumed raw, roasted, boiled or as a part of salads, snacks, gravies.
So this time I decided to try out something new peanut butter.
Most peanut butter brands available in the market are loaded with sugar, preservatives, and fat. The best part of making peanut butter at home is that you can control the amount of extra sugar and fat that is added to it.
Peanuts- 300 gms
Honey-3-4 tsp ( more if you need it extra sweet and less if you want it less sweet)
Vegetable oil-4-5 tsp ( Depending on the variety of peanuts you use, the amount of added oil would vary.
Salt-1/4 tsp
Peanut butter can be consumed just as it is or with whole wheat roti/bread. It can also be added to smoothies and milkshakes.
Just because it’s healthy doesn’t mean you can consume it in access. Consumption in moderation is recommended.
Do give it a try and let me know how it turns out.
