Peanut butter is a pantry staple for most folks. If you have kids, chances are you have a few jars stashed in the cupboard. What many people don't know is that the average name brand of peanut butter containes loads of dangerous hydrogenated fats, sodium, and sugar.
This recipe is developed using Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil (we like the higher phenol count, so go ahead and use your favorite). When the right olive oil is used for this recipe, it's flavor takes a back seat to the rich flavor of roasted peanuts. You will be hard pressed to detect it, and your heart will thank you for the change.
*Makes 1 1/2 cups of natural peanut butter.
