Why Choose Homemade Nut Butters and Dips

Homemade spreads offer several key advantages:

No preservatives, artificial additives, or excess sugar
Fresher flavor and natural nutrients preserved
Easy customization for sweetness, salt, or spices
Perfect for vegan, gluten-free, and clean-eating diets

These delicious spreads pair beautifully with toast, chapatis, smoothie bowls, salads, and wraps.

Homemade Peanut Butter

Prep Time:10 mins

Serves: 10 to 12 tablespoons

Ingredients

2 cups roasted peanuts (skin removed)
Salt to taste
Optional: 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or jaggery powder

Method

Add roasted peanuts to a high-speed mixer jar of your Elgi Ultra mixer grinder like the Elgi Ultra 750 Watts 3 Jar Mixer Grinder (Black) or Elgi Ultra Topp 3 Jar Mixer Grinder 750W.
Grind at medium speed, then increase to high.
Stop to scrape down sides as needed.
Continue until creamy and smooth, then add salt and optional sweetener.
Blend briefly and transfer to an airtight jar.

Tips

Light roasting brings out more natural oils and flavor.
Avoid adding water; peanuts naturally release enough oil.

Homemade Almond Butter

Prep Time: 15 mins

Serves: 8 to 10 tablespoons

Ingredients

2 cups almonds (raw or lightly roasted)
Optional: pinch of salt

Method

Place almonds into the mixer jar.
Grind on high speed until almonds break into coarse meal.
Continue grinding until texture is smooth and creamy.
Add salt if desired, blend briefly, and store.

Tips

Almond butter takes slightly longer than peanut butter.
Roast almonds to release natural oils and achieve better consistency.

Classic Homemade Hummus

Prep Time: 10 mins

Serves: 4 to 6 people

Ingredients

1.5 cups cooked chickpeas
1/4 cup tahini or a tablespoon of your homemade peanut butter
Juice of 1 lemon
1–2 garlic cloves
2–3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
Water as needed

Method

Add chickpeas, tahini or peanut butter, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and salt to the mixer jar.
Blend on medium, then high speed until smooth.
Add water to adjust consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve with a drizzle of olive oil.
