At what point does a love become an obsession?
Recently, I have taken up Pilates. From a former weight lifter and cardio junkie, I can say I have not looked forward to my daily workout as much as I do currently. The love/hate relationship I feel while working and stretching muscles I never knew I had, is rather addicting.
It has become the hour that I soak into a different realm and forget about the outside world. It is just as much mental as it is physical. My muscles are pushed to their limit yet I have never embraced the fire I feel with every leg lift and booty work. OH THE BURN!
As I gain personal awareness with my daily exercise of Pilates, I realized that I have started a slight obsession. Not too shabby though, right? There could be much worse of things in this world that I could be infatuated with.
One of those things is peanut butter. But that is nothing new. What human being does not want to dig straight into a jar of peanut butter? Am I right? Or am I right?
Homemade peanut butter (or any other nut butter for that matter), could quite possibly be the simplest thing to make. But if you have yet to make it, then I welcome you to try it out and see why you will never buy the jarred stuff again.
Just a tip though; make sure you buy roasted peanuts, or you roast them yourself before sending them for a whirl in the food processor. The roasting process gives off the natural oils in the nuts, which helps to create the ever so lovely creaminess of peanut butter. Personally, I buy roasted and salted as I adore the sweet and salty combo. But you can add salt and roast yourself, if that floats your boat.
All boats are welcome here…
I couldn’t just stop with roasted peanut butter; even though the last spoonful I took told me I could. One of my weaknesses is Peter Pan Honey Roasted Peanut Butter. Oh my lanta. That is heaven on earth, I tell ya. So honey was just dying to make an appearance here. Once the peanuts are smooth and silky, I add a bit of honey and a dash of cinnamon, mix well and take one too many spoonfuls for quality assurance. It’s highly suggested you do so as well.
So please excuse me while I go indulge in some Pilates with a side of peanut butter.

So how about that food blogger swap – I’ll send muffins if you send this peanut butter!! 🙂
I love that idea!! Perfect breakfast or snack time! Thanks, Beth!
yum! homemade peanut butter is the best! but I have never made it with coconut oil in it! that sounds really good 😉 pinned!
Oh isn’t it?! And I love adding coconut oil to it; it helps make it extra creamy!! Thanks, Michele!
My daughter and I were just talking about making our own peanut butter. We both love it so much! This looks like the perfect recipe. Pinned it so I wouldn’t forget!
Oh perfect timing then, huh!? Well I hope you enjoy it! Thanks, Alli 😉
ummmm….I totally didn’t know how easy it was to make honey roasted peanut butter! I totally need to try this out!
Oh ya girl! You need to get on it! You will love it 🙂
Homemade nut butters are my favorite! Yours looks perfect!
Aren’t they the greatest?! Thanks, Jessica!
I haven’t made homemade peanut butter in a while. Yours looks perfect and creamy! I love honey and peanut butter together, too!
Well thank you Vanessa! It’s been too long before I made this one…I blame a way too busy summer. But this has converted me!
Peanut butter is something that I eat everyday. I usually just buy organic, unprocessed crushed peanuts from the health food store but I think I will have to try my hand at your honey roasted recipe. It looks and sounds seriously delicious!
Well thank you Thalia! Just roast the peanuts yourself if you still want to buy the organic and unprocessed peanuts. It will be so tasty!
Yum yum yum! I have an obsession with PB too!! I’m definitely going to try this out. I love that you added cinnamon! 🙂
How PB doesn’t last long in our house! Thanks, Jocelyn!
mine gets hard after it’s been in the refrigerator. Any ideas?
I would suggest to leave it out for a bit before using to soften it up. That is what we do. Or you can leave it in the cabinet so it remains soft. That is perfectly fine as well. Hope the helps!
