Ingredients & Substitutions
Dry roasted salted peanuts work best for this homemade peanut butter. Roasted peanuts tend to release their oils more naturally and quickly, which aids in the processing of making peanut butter.
If desired, use unsalted peanuts. Then, you can decide if you want to add in a certain type of salt to your Vitamix or leave it out altogether.
Which Vitamix Model to Use
Since Vitamix blenders are incredibly powerful, all models work well!
I used my Vitamix E310 which is a more inexpensive option. The peanut butter was smooth and creamy in less than 2 minutes!
If using another brand of blender or food processor, this process could take up to 10 minutes. I highly recommend using a Vitamix if you own one!
How to Make
Step 1
First, add peanuts to Vitamix blender.
Step 2
Secure lid and blend on medium until smooth and creamy. This is what it looks like after about 30 seconds, 1 minute, and 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Step 3
Once completely smooth, pour into a jar with lid or airtight container.
Expert Tips & Tricks
Roasted peanuts are easier to blend than raw peanuts. I suggest using roasted!
Use the tamper accessory that comes with the Vitamix. Push down peanuts closer to the blade to speed up blending.
If your Vitamix has started to heat up, simply turn it off and let it rest for a minute. Then, continue blending.
Variations & Add Ins
Here are some great ideas to add in to the peanut butter. Add these ingredients to Vitamix with peanuts before blending.
- maple syrup
- honey
- vanilla extract
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
- ground ginger
- chia seeds
- coconut sugar
- cocoa powder
Add these ingredients in very small amounts to start. Then, adjust to suit your taste. Check out this Coconut Peanut Butter too!

How to Clean Vitamix After Making Peanut Butter
One of the best things about a Vitamix is how easy it is to clean!
After making peanut butter and scraping the blender clean with a spoon or rubber spatula, add 1 cup of water and a squirt of dish soap to Vitamix. Place cover on top. Mix on low medium speed until clean.
I usually give it another rinse to ensure blender is completely clean.
How to Serve & Store
Serve peanut butter immediately or store in a glass jar with lid.
Store at room temperature for up to 1 month. If natural oil separation occurs, stir before using.
This Vitamix peanut butter can be refrigerated, but it will firm up.

A serving of store bought peanut butter is typically 2 tablespoons which I think should be illegal. They pack of bunch of oils and unhealthy salt, so I am really loving your version it is way more waist friendly and easy to make heck who am I kidding I will probably have a little more of yours and not even worry.
This was super easy and so creamy!
