Peanut butter is everyone’s favorite breakfast spread, but have you ever tried making it on your own? If your answer is “no”, now’s a better time than ever to start, because homemade peanut butter comes with a long list of amazing benefits.

Healthier Option

Peanut butter isn’t generally considered unhealthy—as long as you eat it in moderation—but store-bought varieties aren’t the best possible option. Many of them contain unhealthy oils, artificial sweeteners and flavorings, and too much salt or sugar, and that’s why they’re best avoided.

Easy and Cheap

Even if you’re not a huge fan of experimenting in the kitchen, making homemade peanut butter is so easy that you’ll never want to buy it again. Peanuts, honey, and a pinch of salt are usually the only ingredients you need to put inside your blender to get an amazing DIY peanut butter.

Total Control

Making your own peanut butter gives you total control of how it’s going to taste and how crunchy it’s going to be. It’s up to you to add extra ingredients if you want to give your peanut butter a different taste, and you don’t have to worry about any added artificial ingredients.
