Ingredient Notes
- Unsalted, dry roasted peanuts: Using whole peanuts is essential for making your own peanut butter at home. However, if you want to buy pre-made peanut butter and infuse it - you totally can. I recommend natural peanut butter with minimal, organic ingredients.
- Cannabis oil: This ingredient will infuse the recipe. Find all of the different types of cannabis oil you can use in the Alternative Infusion Options section below.
- Kief - optional: Kief is a concentrated version of cannabis that can increase the potency, if desired.
Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 - Prepare your cannabis oil. See oil infusion options below.
Step 2 - Add the peanuts to a food processor or blender. Pulse at 30-second intervals for several minutes until the ground peanuts become smooth.
Step 3 - As the peanut butter becomes smooth, add the oil or flower and mix until well incorporated.
Step 4 - Store in a glass jar and label as desired. Stir well before enjoying.

Storage Instructions
You can store this peanut butter in the refrigerator for 2-4 weeks.
Alternate Infusion Options
As with all things edibles, there is more than one way to infuse something.
Below we will explore the different ways you could infuse this recipe with your favorite active ingredients.
Infused Oil
Many types of cannabis-infused oils will work in this recipe.
Liquid oil will work best, such as MCT oil or even infused peanut oil. Just keep the taste of the oil in mind; a tablespoon of olive oil will lend a noticeable taste to your final product that you may not like.
Like coconut oil or cannabutter, a solid oil is not ideal for this recipe as it hardens at room temperature.
Kief
Adding a small amount of decarbed cannabis or kief to your peanut butter is an easy way to increase the potency.
Note that you leave the flower in the peanut butter, so keep your taste and texture preferences in mind.
Cannabis Concentrates
Concentrates are perfect for infusing this edible recipe.
No matter which type of concentrate you have, first check to see if it needs to be decarbed. Cannabis distillate and FECO do not need to be decarbed first.
Once ready, you can mix the concentrate with a small bit of oil before blending in with the peanuts.
Cannabis Tinctures
The only way alcohol-based cannabis tinctures will work in this recipe is to evaporate off all of the alcohol first and create FECO, which can then be used as a cannabis concentrate.
Notes and Expert Tips
- Don't forget the important step of cannabis decarboxylation before adding any flower or kief to the peanut butter
- Take your own personal tolerance into consideration, you may only need a little bit of cannabis to make an infusion with your preferred dose and potency
- If you have others at home who need virgin peanut butter, you can easily make a whole, uninfused batch and just infuse a small bit of cannabis into a single serving as needed
- Remember, it takes a couple of hours for edibles to be processed by the digestive system. Don't consume a second serving until you know you're ready, you don't want to have a bad time!
- Before each use, be sure to give the jar a little stir to ensure the peanut butter is mixed well
