Smooth Salted Peanut-Pepita Butter

A creamy, spreadable peanut butter with a nutty, slightly earthy depth from pumpkin seeds and a clean pinch of salt.

Smooth Salted Peanut-Pepita Butter

Ingredients

  • 1 cup140 gDry-roasted peanuts, unsalted
  • ½ cup60 gPumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 2¼ tsp10 gCanola oil
  • ¼ tsp2 gSalt

Steps

  1. Use a powerful blender or food processor that can handle thick nut butters, and make sure it is completely dry.
  2. Add the pumpkin seeds to the blender and blend for about 30 seconds until finely ground.
  3. Add the peanuts and blend on low, then medium, for about 1 minute until the mixture looks like damp sand.
  4. Keep blending in 1-minute bursts, scraping down the sides between bursts, for 6 to 10 minutes total, until the nuts and seeds release their oil and turn into a smooth paste; rest the motor if it feels warm.
  5. With the blender running, drizzle in the canola oil and blend 1 to 2 minutes more until silky and spreadable.
  6. Add the salt and blend 30 seconds to mix it in evenly.
  7. Scrape the peanut-pepita butter into a clean jar and serve with apple slices, celery or toast. Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 weeks and stir before using.
