I’m glad I planned ahead and took these pictures yesterday when it was nice out and I had time! Today has been very long and the skies have turned grey again…but tomorrow I don’t have class so I’m really looking forward to getting some sleep and doing some cooking. I have been experimenting further with peanut butter and decided it was time to try a flavored version! The result is SO TASTY and still healthy to boot! I also discovered that processing the peanut butter a few minutes longer makes it soooo super smooth and keeps it soft longer (even after refrigeration). I just enjoyed some of this on a banana, it was AWESOME.
The flavor of the cinnamon is really subtle, but then the taste catches up with you a few seconds after you take a bite. YUM!
Cinnamon & Honey Roasted Peanut Butter
- 1/2 lb. roasted and lightly salted peanuts
- 1 t. canola oil
- 2 T. honey
- 1-2 t. cinnamon (to taste)
- 1 t. vanilla extract
-Start by processing just the peanuts in the food processor.
-Once the butter is smooth (about 2 minutes), add the remaining ingredients. Continue to process for another 3 minutes. Empty into a jar with a spatula.
-Makes 1 8 oz. jar of peanut butter.
In the words of Ina, “How easy is that?!”
I have some serious plans for this peanut butter, none of which involve it sticking around longer than this week. š
Thanks for reading!

Yum! I bought some 100% peanut butter recently so will hold off on making my own as yet, but am tempted to add honey and cinnamon to that one! What a great flavour combo! Yum!
