Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Place room-temperature roasted peanuts into a completely dry high-speed blender or food processor.
Process on high speed for 60 seconds until the peanuts reach a coarse, sandy meal consistency.
Stop the machine, scrape down the sides with a spatula, and incorporate 1 tablespoon of peanut oil and 1 tablespoon of sweetener.
Continue processing in 1-minute intervals, scraping the sides between each, until the mixture becomes a glossy liquid.
Add the remaining oil and sweetener during the final minute of processing to reach your desired consistency.
Transfer the warm spread into a sterilized glass jar and store in the refrigerator to stabilize.

Notes

To ensure a perfectly smooth emulsion, always verify that your processing vessel is bone-dry, as even a drop of water can cause the nut proteins to seize. If the motor on your blender begins to feel overly warm, pause for a few minutes to allow it to cool, which also prevents the natural oils from reaching a bitter temperature.
