OMG Vanilla Bean Coconut Peanut Butter
By shawnanewton
"This right here, my friends, is quite possibly the most addictive peanut butter (both homemade and store-bought) that I have ever tasted."
Yield: about 1 cup + 2 Tbsp (nine 2 Tbsp servings)
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup roasted, salted peanuts, preferably organic
- 1/4 cup coconut butter, at room temperature and well-stirred (to make at home: toss some unsweetened dried coconut flakes in the food processor and blend until liquified and smooth; measure out 1/4 cup)
- 2 tsp organic cane sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla bean paste (you can sub in 1 tsp pure vanilla extract)

Preparation
Step 1
Place peanuts into the bowl of a food processor. Process until peanuts break down into a paste, scraping down the sides as necessary, about 3-5 minutes.
With the motor running, stream the coconut butter in through the feed tube and process until well-combined and smooth.
Add in the sugar and vanilla bean paste and process until incorporated.
I store my nut butters at room temperature. Some oil separation may occur with this peanut butter; just give it a good stir before eating.
*If you don’t have a food processor, simply stir together 1 cup lightly salted unsweetened creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup coconut butter, 2 tsp sugar, & 1 tsp vanilla bean paste until smooth & well-combined.*
