Sounds good. Glad you made it work!

So I added a bit of hot water and a bit of oil at the end. It was delicious anyway, and quite smooth but just not quite at the drippy stage. I had it today on a wholewheat English muffin with some sliced banana, miam miam!

It's not something I have ever done. The whole recipe makes a little over 1.25 cups of peanut butter though, so you'd probably need a little less than that if you are using ready made peanut butter. I've never used one of those store grinding machines so I have no idea how drippy the peanut butter comes out. When you make it yourself it's possible to control how drippy it gets. The more you process the more oil is released and the more liquidy it becomes. It should be drippy and liquidy and the dry ingredients shouldn't make it thicker because it's only a little bit of spice and the sugar dissolves in it. Maybe you didn't process it long enough.

I tried this today and incorporated it into a Banana-Stuffed Baked French Toast recipe. While we enjoyed the flavors, mine came out very thick and I ended up combining it with some peanut butter from my pantry to achieve the right consistency. What I suspect happened is that I chose to grind my peanut butter at the store, rather than use the food processor, and didn't know what quantity of peanut butter I should use. I made a guess and suspect I had less than necessary, resulting in the dry ingredients have too great an effect on the consistency. With that in mind, if we choose to use peanut butter already ground, what is the approximate quantity?

You can't beat homemade nut butter. Giving it as gifts is a lovely idea and this one would be great because it tastes so festive! Hope you enjoy it!

I actually gave jars of nut butters to some people as gifts last year so this one might be one that I make this year.

So glad you enjoyed it Yvonne and I love your idea for 'cleaning' the blender. I need to remember to do that next time I make nut butter.

this is pretty awesome! I used my vitamix to prepare it and instead of trying to get it all off of the blades---- I added a chilled banana and some cold water and blended it up for a drink !
thank you for the inspiration .
