How To Make Cinnamon Peanut Butter

The best part about this homemade peanut butter recipe is it requires only 5 ingredients! Not only that, making this Cinnamon Peanut Butter couldn't be easier. I simply left my food processor running while doing the dishes, and came back to creamy, delicious perfection!

Cinnamon Peanut Butter Step-By-Step Instructions

For an extra burst of flavor, I recommend toasting the peanuts for about 5 minutes before blending. This step is optional, but it truly enhances the taste. To do this, set the oven to 425℉, put the peanuts on a baking sheet, and toast for 5 minutes, or until the peanuts begin to brown.

Once the peanuts are toasted, get out your blender or, preferably, a food processor. Combine all the ingredients and blend for about 10 minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides to ensure everything is evenly mixed. The result is a luscious, cinnamon spiced peanut butter! Enjoy your homemade Cinnamon Peanut Butter on anything and everything!

Cinnamon Peanut Butter Ingredients & Alternatives

This Cinnamon Peanut Butter recipe is simple and uses ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. Typically, peanuts are the only item I need to pick up from the store. Here’s a breakdown of the ingredients and some alternative options you can try!

Peanuts: The main ingredient in this recipe! Make sure to buy peanuts with no added oils. I usually find the best prices on unsalted peanuts when buying in bulk. For an alternative, you can use almonds or cashews to create a unique nut butter flavor.

Cinnamon: This spice adds warmth and depth to the peanut butter. For a different flavor profile, you could try using nutmeg or allspice.

Vanilla: Pure vanilla extract elevates the recipe, adding a rich undertone. If you’re out of vanilla, you can use almond extract or maple extract for a different twist.

Honey: This natural sweetener pairs perfectly with cinnamon and adds just the right amount of sweetness. For a vegan option, try using maple syrup or agave nectar.

Salt: While optional, a pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor, making the cinnamon and peanut butter combination even more delightful. If you prefer, you can use sea salt or omit it entirely.

Feel free to experiment with these alternative ingredients to find your perfect flavor combination!

I’m a peanut butter addict, so I could use peanut butter on just about everything! With that being said—I’ll share my absolute favorites!

Peanut Butter Toast: You can never and will never go wrong with any variation of peanut butter toast! My favorite way is gluten free bread, cinnamon peanut butter, banana, a drizzle of honey, and hemp seeds! Perfection!

Smoothie Bowls: Nut butter is a staple spread in any smoothie bowl and this Cinnamon Peanut Butter goes perfectly over a bowl. My favorite is when the smoothie base is more chocolate & banana flavored! The hint of cinnamon compliments these flavors amazingly.
