It's brings much joy to our heart to make use of stuffs that nature brings and turn it into a delightful food.
Food gotten from plants are really amazing! Adding them to our menu is great! Well today I want to share a simple way I made peanut butter for my Cabin biscuits. The peanut butter makes the biscuit more tasty for me and I was happy to make it, locally. Here's how:
Ingredients
Below are the simple ingredients:
- 1 cup of groundnut
- Salt to taste
- Garri (Dry sand can also be used) for frying the groundnut
Procedure
- Wash and soak the groundnut with salt.
- Pour the groundnuts in a sieve to let the water dry
- In a dry pot, pour in the Garri (or dry clean sand) and allow it to heat up
- Pour in the groundnuts and stir continuously till it can easily peel and it browns inside

- Next, peel the groundnut and separate the chaff from it
- After that normally we blend to paste using the blender. But since we didn't have the blender, I had to pound it locally using a mortar and pestle
It took a lot of work and effort, it would have been much easier with an electric blender. I kept bounding it to get the paste
- Soon it was already a good paste and I set it up in a plate with my biscuits

I applied the paste to the biscuits to give it a more nice and delicious taste as you see below:

This peanut paste is used for many other food/snacks other than groundnuts. We use it for bread, for garden eggs too:
It's something really amazing and delightful!
Making this homemade peanut butter from groundnuts was a fun and rewarding experience. It's amazing how something so simple can be so tasty and delicious!
I hope you try it too! 🤗
