Can I let you into a secret? Monday is National Peanut Butter Day. In honesty, every day is Peanut Butter Day for me. I am slightly obsessed. It has to be smooth and it has to be natural though. Who’s with me?

I eat peanut butter with my granola and yoghurt, drizzled on pancakes, on top of porridge, in smoothies and a personal favourite on hot buttered toast slathered thickly and please don’t judge me, I sometimes double it up with marmite. Yep, butter, peanut butter and marmite. It’s a winner folks. You should definitely try it.

Peanut butter is fabulous baked into cakes and brownies too. I have some fabulous recipes that are my go-to which I shall share with you just in case these Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cheesecake Truffles aren’t for you. Although I don’t know why they wouldn’t be. They are moreish and delicious and a great little after-dinner treat or homemade gift for somebody.

I have often thought about making my own peanut butter but not sure my ageing processor is up to the job. Do you have any recommendations for making peanut butter? Is a Nutribullet the best option? Any thoughts please do leave in the comments.

I guess with a powerful blender I needn’t stop at just peanuts. I could branch out to almonds, cashews and seeds. You’ve got me thinking about the endless possibilities of homemade nut butters now!
