How to Make Valencia Peanut And Flax Seed Butter

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread 2 cups of raw peanuts on a baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of flax seeds to the baking sheet during the last 6-8 minutes of roasting. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. (Alternatively, for stovetop roasting: In a large skillet over medium heat, toast peanuts for 10-12 minutes, stirring constantly. Add flax seeds and cook for another 6-8 minutes, stirring constantly).
  5. Transfer the roasted peanuts and flax seeds to a food processor.
  6. Blend until a smooth butter forms, adding 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite oil (e.g., coconut, avocado) as needed to achieve desired consistency.
  7. Season generously with salt to taste (start with 1/2 teaspoon and add more as needed).
  8. Optional: Add 1-4 tablespoons of sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or sugar) to taste.
  9. Transfer the peanut butter to an airtight container.
  10. Refrigerate. Stir well before each use to redistribute the oils.
