Anyone who’s been around here long enough knows peanut butter is a pantry staple for me, and is certainly a recommendation for my athlete’s grocery list.
It’s a great source of so many nutrients, packed into a tasty, thick glob.
This salted peanut butter pairs perfectly with just about everything, including almond flour banana muffins and gluten free blueberry muffins, and well, basically anything and everything.
And if you’re someone who’s always hungry, including some healthy, satiating fats from peanut butter could be one (of many) solutions.
I also break down more about hunger in my Ebook about intuitive eating.

Making Cinnamon Vanilla Peanut Butter
This cinnamon peanut butter recipe is one of those recipes that’s so good I want to keep it to myself. Although the girls get some on their leftover oatmeal cookies.
Well, I thought that for 2.5 seconds but then I realized that I really like you guys a lot, and if I were to share it with ANYONE, it would be you.
I love using my food processor and it’s the key ingredient for homemade creamy peanut butter and chocolate cashew butter.
I have had boatloads of fun making my own things that I would normally buy – like basil hummus, peanut butter, and edible cookie dough.
And, we all love easy snacks like trail mix energy bites and this frozen cookie dough bites, so having a food processor makes these snacks SO EASY.
Similarly, no arguing with this salted cinnamon peanut butter. It’s drippy, it’s tasty, it’s subtly salty and vanilla-y.
It’s basically everything you’d ever want out of a diy peanut butter that you can make at home.
Because not only is it fun and accomplishing to make your own things, but it’s a simple way to save money and have complete control of your ingredients and the amounts, right?
If you looked up natural peanut butter nutrition facts, you’ll recognize that homemade peanut butters don’t use any weird ingredients you can’t pronounce because we usually don’t keep them on hand! We’re using simple and natural peanut butter ingredients.
Although I do have storebought peanut butter in my pantry at all times because #prepared. I love this one from Thrive Market.
Ingredients For Salted Cinnamon Peanut Butter
Things you likely have on hand already. As I share in my essential grocery list, healthy eating starts with keeping these foods on hand!
- peanuts
- vanilla extract
- sea salt
- cinnamon
- honey (optional), or use grade A Maple Syrup to keep it vegan!
You’ll also want a Vitamix or a food processor. Something hefty to break down the peanuts.
How to Make Homemade Salted Peanut Butter
With only five ingredients, this diy peanut butter recipe is definitely going to be repeated quite often.
I have so many more ideas for flavors that I’ll have to try out. I think diy chocolate peanut butter is next on the list.
First, you’ll add your peanuts to the food processor. Process for about 3 minutes on high, stopping periodically to scrape the sides.
Don’t be alarmed if, after about a minute, your peanuts form into a large ball. This is completely normal.
Break it up and keep processing and then it will magically get smoother and creamier. Making this cinnamon peanut butter recipe goes through quite a fun transition.
Then, you’ll add your vanilla, honey, cinnamon and sea salt and continue to process.
Then, you can enjoy this cinnamon peanut butter.
I love the craft flavors of peanut butter, but now that I can make them myself, I’m going to save much more money!
The best part about this salted peanut butter is that you don’t have to dirty any bowls. You just mix everything into the food processor, your new best friend, and process for about 3 minutes on high.
I stopped a few times in between to scrape some peanut butter off the sides.
It really is magic how it just transforms right in front of your eyes.
With my appetite steadily increasing with marathon training or breastfeeding hunger (depending on what season we’re in) don’t expect to ever find me without a personal tub of peanut butter since I put it on just about everything.
So, after you make this, promise me that you’ll spend less money buying “natural” peanut butter because this is ridiculously EASY and QUICK.
Do You Have to Refrigerate Natural Peanut Butter?
I know you’re probably wondering how to store homemade peanut butter, because I was.
Short answer – You don’t have to keep natural peanut butter refrigerated if you have a cool, dry place to store it in your kitchen. At some point, though, the oils will start to go rancid (likely 3-4 weeks).
According to the National Peanut Board, once opened, natural peanut butter can stay fresh for 3 months in the pantry. After that, it’s best to move it to the fridge.
I do prefer to keep my cinnamon vanilla peanut butter in the fridge because it does keep the solids and oils together.
If you want to get it a little more “melty,” leave it out for a bit before enjoying it.
What Should I Pair Vanilla Peanut Butter With?
This peanut butter and cinnamon recipe pairs well with pumpkin peanut butter granola and greek yogurt. I also love it slathered on toast or on a sweet potato oatmeal bake!
It also goes well with apple pie overnight oats, banana chia pudding or in this peanut butter coffee smoothie.
If you’re a snacker like me and want a peanut butter protein bar recipe, this can be a staple in your diet.

Support Bucket List TummyThis salted Cinnamon Peanut Butter looks incredible – I can’t wait to try it!!!
Hi Sarah,
What is one serving size?
Thanks.
Hi Sha – a tablespoon is a serving size 🙂
ooh yum this is a creative combo. A snack idea I can definitely get on board with
This could be the greatest invention ever!
This sounds delicious! My food processor broke otherwise I’d be making this as soon as I got peanuts.
If you were going to prepare some as a DIY holiday gift, what would be your tips for storing. Do you know how long it would last refrigerated?
I would keep it sealed in a glass container or storage if possible. You don’t need to keep it in the fridge unless it will be several weeks until you go through it. But, I’d say it will last 1-2 months in the fridge.
This is such an awesome recipe! I am in awe at those peanuts that magically became creamy, I now officially need to make my own peanut butter to witness this magic before my own eyes!!! Pinning this, I can’t forget about this one. I think it’s a recipe I could see myself making for school in the fall!!
I think you have officially convinced me to make my own nut butter! Just gotta pick up some nuts 🙂
I try every peanut butter I can get my hands on, but my favorite is Skippy Super Chunk =P I go old school for this. I have made my own nut butter and it’s really delicious. I am all about salted nut butter these days so this recipe hits the spot!
OH WOW. Sarah, this looks absolutely amazing. I’ve kind of been waiting for peanuts to go on sale, but I almost don’t want to wait now, because I would love to make this. Making peanut butter in the food processor is definitely the best.
Make it, make it! I hope you love it, Emily! Food processors are such magic kitchen items.
This looks seriousssslllyyyyy delicious! Yum!
It’s amazing. And so easy too!
This sounds amazing! And I am so impressed that you put together that desk. I hate following directions!
I just wanted to be able to say I did it. Now, I’m probably good for a while 🙂
Yes please! I’m all about making my own nut butters with random ingredients instead of spending $89798345 at the store for the fancy pre made ones.
SO TRUE. I don’t even want to think about all the money I’ve spent purchasing fancy nut butters.
Yum!! This sounds to die for….i love peanut butter in any form it wants to present itself to me! haha
Me too, girl!
This sounds amazing! I love the combo of cinnamon and peanut butter. I need to try making homemade nut butter sometime. I bet it saves a lot of money too. Have a great monday Sarah!
I hope you get a chance to try it soon, Alyssa!
This looks so good and we love our peanut butter, well nut butters in general! I’ll have to pick up some peanuts this week so the girls and I can whip some up! I can totally relate to not having a kitchen and being grateful more than once in the last year after not having a kitchen for months last fall during our remodel and most recently being gone for 3 weeks and not having a kitchen.
Thank you for linking up with us, happy Meatless Monday!
It really makes you appreciate the small things when we have them! I think the girl s would have so much fun making this 🙂
Wow that looks easy and delicious! Thanks for linking up with us for meatless Monday today
Easy and delicious are my main criteria for recipes! 🙂
Keeping a jar of PB on hand in your purse, now that’s a good idea! I’ve never tried making my own PB, but ohmygosh it looks so dreamy. There’s no way I wouldn’t sneak a few spoonfuls as I made it ;). Are the peanuts roasted or unroasted or does it matter?
xxMeah
I would stick to unroasted since we’re adding a little of our own salt, but totally your preference if you like salted peanuts!
Honey roasted peanut butter is Terry’s favorite peanut butter, so I bet he’d freak over this! I am pretty much a fan of all peanut butters, but I love having an ingredient list to make one.
I love all nut butters too, but it’s great to have a specific flavor sometimes for pairing!
This recipe looks really good! I have a Vitamix and use it all the time for smoothies and food processing but have not ventured into the nut butters yet!
Maybe nut butters will be your next adventure! 🙂 Smoothies are a favorite too!
