Recipe: Homemade Trans Fat-Free Peanut Butter

HOMEMADE TRANS FAT-FREE PEANUT BUTTER

1 pound of unsalted peanuts
5 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

Place 1 pound of unsalted peanuts in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.

Roast in oven for 8 minutes or until light golden brown. Allow peanuts to cool.

In a food processor, combine peanuts, canola oil, kosher salt, and brown sugar. Blend until it reaches the consistency you like. Add more oil for smoothness.

This makes about 4 cups, which can be stored in the refrigerator for as long as three months.
