Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month. 
Note: For Conventional, your food processor should be proportional to the amount of peanuts used for the nuts to process correctly. Don't make a halved amount, unless it is really small. 
Nut Free: We recommend making the Roasted Seed Butter recipe. 
Low Carb: Replace peanuts with roasted macadamias and almonds. Use 1 tsp compliant sweetener.
Paleo: Replace peanuts with cashews.
Halved: This recipe can be halved, although you may need to repeat steps to achieve the consistency.
