Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

Love this idea! May I ask a question? It states that this recipe is 1 serving, but at the bottom of the recipe itself, it says it makes 8 (2tbsp) servings. Wouldn't this change the calorie count if you changed the 1 to an 8? Submitted by:

I make this regular now. No extra peanut oil needed (why adding fat when the ingredients are already high in fat?). Much better than even the fresh ground we do at the store. Submitted by:

If I'm reading this right, the recipe calls for 2 cups of peanuts, and the number of servings is 1 (really!?), and calories per serving is 229 calories???? Submitted by:

Maybe this is more natural BUT it is also HIGHER in calories~~ store bought Peanut Butter only has 180 calories per 2 tablespoons! Submitted by:

Do not think I will try making this unless there is a shortage of BP on the supermarket shelf. I will stick with my PC Organics crunchy PB for 200 calories per 2 Tblsp. Submitted by:

Check out PB2. It is an all natural powdered peanut butter with 45 calories for 2 T. It turns into peanut butter when you add water or oil. It goes great in smoothies. Since peanut oil makes me break out and I love the stuff, this is a great alternative for me. It goes great in smoothies. Submitted by:

Wow... how does this have more calories than commercial natural peanut butter? I'm going to be trying this along with the other nut butter recipes available... when I can afford to. Til then, I'll stick with my Jif. Submitted by:

I only used a little bit of olive oil, to help with the texture. I also added 1 tsp of honey and 1 tsp of cinnamon. I did use the salt, since I used no salt peanuts.

The texture is a bit grainy, I think my processor is not strong enough to make it smooth. Also a bit salty, but still good. 		Submitted by:

This is a fantastic idea. However, I replaced the peanuts with almonds, which are healthier, skipped the salt and cheated, with a little honey. Submitted by:

I've always found that it works fine to use only peanuts too. It is much more flavorful than store bought versions and has less sugar. I find I usually need a bit less too, which is a bonus! Submitted by:

Why is there so less calories and everything else including protein in this than in the Skippy Natural Super Chunk? Their ing. are roasted peanuts, sugar, palm oil and salt. 2T yields 190 cal., 17 fat., 6 carb., 2 fiber and 7 protein. Submitted by:

The calories calculated are not even close. The calories were calculated using .25 cup of peanuts, not 2 cups. Two cups of peanuts alone equals more than 1550 calories. Submitted by:

Nutritional info is quite misleading as 1/2 a tsp of salt would be 1180 mg, over half a days supplement. Is it 1 or 8 servings?

I have a Co-op that I belong to and they have machines setup with Almonds, Cashews and Peanuts that grinds the nuts into nut butters. No added salt or oils and it is super yummy. I also don't have to do the work at home. Keep in the Fridge so it doesn't go rancid. My nieces even eat this. Submitted by:

I'm curious about the calorie content. The recipe says it's a 2 tablespoon serving for 28.6 calories? The natural peanut butter i buy only has peanuts and salt in it and 2 tablespoons is 200 calories. How is this so much lower?

Yeah, I agree with some folks here who say omit the oil. No matter what type of nuts you're using, they have their own oil. Homemade nut butters are the best because you can control the sodium and the texture to taste. Submitted by:

I am going to try this w/the shelled pistachios I buy @ Costco! I have to watch my fats/sugars, too (diabetic) so this is the perfect way to make peanut butter that's good for me! I use a dab in my oatmeal daily. Really good! Will use olive oil, though. Submitted by:

For those worried about fat content, leave your pb sit out for a few weeks, pour off the oil that rises to the top. this will give you a VERY firm pb but less oil. If you mash in some yogurt or fat low fat magarine you'd have a spread with lower fat. store in fridge. HTH Submitted by:

Actually if you care to take the time salted in the shell peanuts can be used without any added oil. Shell them, skin them and blend them, result peanut butter. Simple but a bit messy taste test you can do is to shell and skin the peanuts then mash a small number with the back of a spoon and taste Submitted by:

YES!! Don't actually like peanut butter for some reason but eat a lot of almond butter - so this was perfect for me. Specially being in control of salt content. Suggestions for Pistachios or Walnuts are great. Will try next time Submitted by:

I buy fresh peanut butter from my grocery store. They tell me that they do not add anything extra to it. One good thing the fat is healthier than what comes in a jar as the good oil is taken out and something else is put in. I didn't realize it could be done in the blender. I am going to try this.

I think they are rating the entire portion instead of a serving of 1-2 tbs. There are 4tbs in a .25 cup. The recipes is listing calories for the entire recipe not table sppon servings. Submitted by:

I'm definitely trying this one! And as for the comments about it being too high in calories,look at your peanut butter jar! They only count 1 Tablespoon, this one counts 2 as a serving. It's barely any more calories or fat than the jar, and far less sugar! More protein than carbs makes it worth it Submitted by:
