Homemade Peanut Butter
The other day, I got an email from one of my professors warning the class not to eat anything with peanuts and bananas, because one student in that class was allergic to both of those items.
Allergic to bananas and peanuts!! I could not imagine! I mean, I occasionally make peanut butter banana bread with peanut butter glaze (can you get enough peanut butter?) and I make peanut butter and banana smoothies on a regular basis.
This made me so sad. And a little guilty. Mainly because I don't have many allergies. Like, at all. Except for mosquitoes, but who's going to bring that to class?
So as a late Thanksgiving "what I am thankful for" spiel (since I somehow missed doing that around Thanksgiving), I am thankful that I don't have any food allergies...that I know of.
So I am making the most of my peanut eating capabilities. I am making homemade peanut butter.
I can't believe I have never done this before. It's almost embarrassing how easy this is. This was so good, I may never buy peanut butter in a grocery store ever again!

Isn't it wonderful just how easy it is to make. I prefer almond butter which I make the same way. Nothing beats homemade, for sure!
I still need to try almond butter!
I love homemade peanut butter. And it's so easy to make so that makes it even better!
La mezcla es un maridaje perfecto me encanta luce muy bonito,abrazos.
I've never even thought to make my own peanut butter. I'm one of those lucky ones too... no food allergies ... knocking on wood.
Allergic to banana and pb...So sorry for the kid!
Your homemade peanut butter looks great!
Why buy from store when you can make it at home so easily and without any preservatives? Delicious!
Amazing how easy homemade peanut butter is, and tastes so different from store bought, because this has only peanuts
Hey there, I´ve never made home made peanut butter before but should.. and it´s fits perfectly with my post this week i.e. peanut butter white choc fudge! Xx
i forget how serious peanut butter allergies (or any food allergies) can be being that i am not allergic to anything at all. definitely thankful for how lucky i am in this regard! we just got a food processor. definitely time for me to start making my own nut butters!
i am DEFINTIELY thankful that I'm not allergic to peanut butter!! I can't live without the stuff. Though I am allergic to kiwis, avocadoes, and pineapple. Sigh.
Isn't it wonderful how easy it is to make your own peanut butter?! Your's looks delicious and very smooth. It's so sad when someone has a peanut allergy. I think of all they are missing 🙁
Hi Cathleen , I love homemade peanut butter , I also make homemade Pecan butter and it's . I never heard that someone else eating peanut butter could effect anyone else , thanks for sharing 🙂
I am SO GLAD I'm not allergic to peanuts. I could eat peanut butter at every meal. Haha. I love this homemade recipe. Thank you for sharing it!
Looks delicious. I love making homemade PB, love to customize it. I can't even imagine being allergic, that is really sad that a professor said no one should eat PB and come to class. Must be really serious. 🙁
For having alone I prefer home made peanut butter 🙂 or almond butter
