Ingredients
  

  • 1 cups hulled sesame seeds
  • 2 cups raw peanuts
  • 1-2 tsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup, honey, or date syrup

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Place nuts and seeds on a lined baking tray. Toast in oven for 5-15 minutes until golden brown. Since oven times and temperatures vary check them frequently as the nuts and seeds will burn quickly.
  3. Place all ingredients in a high speed blender with toasted nuts and seeds. I like to start with 1 tsp of tahini and add more if needed.
  4. Blend until smooth, using the blender tamper attachment to push down the mixture into the blades.
  5. Blending may take 5-10 minutes depending on the speed and power of your blender.
  6. Taste and add salt or additional sweetener if desired.
