Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter
Cinnamon raisin peanut butter is unlike any other peanut butter you have ever tried. This creamy homemade peanut butter is slightly sweet, slightly salty, with raisins mixed in for good measure!
Use this cinnamon peanut butter on pancakes, waffles, toast, apples or sandwiches.
Ingredients
- Peanuts – I like to use a combination of salted and unsalted peanuts in this recipe. The contrast of the sweet and salty is so perfect.
- Cinnamon – cinnamon makes this peanut butter so unique. It also makes things taste sweeter than they are, so you won’t need as much added sweetener.
- Stevia or coconut sugar – use powdered stevia or coconut sugar to sweeten the peanut butter. I don’t recommend using honey or maple syrup because the liquid sweetener will clump up the peanut butter.
- Raisins – raisins add even more sweetness and are a fun ingredient added
How to make cinnamon raisin peanut butter
Add the peanuts to the food processor and turn it on high speed for 3-4 minutes. At first it will just look like sandpaper, just let the food processor continue to run.
Scrape down the sides of the food processor 1-2 times if needed.
Add the cinnamon and stevia (or coconut sugar) to the peanut butter. Run the food processor for another 30 seconds – 1 minute.
Add the raisins to the food processor and pulse 2-3 times.
Top tips
Use dry roasted peanuts if possible. Typically when peanuts are roasted, they add oil when roasting. Dry roasting doesn’t add any extra oil.
If you prefer your peanut butter to not be salty, don’t use the salted roasted peanuts, just use all unsalted peanuts.
This peanut butter really is best if it’s slightly sweetened. If you are using coconut sugar, maple sugar or brown sugar, you will want to blend the food processor for closer to a minute to help incorporate it in the peanut butter.

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy! :-) What a great idea, you wouldn’t have to twist my arm either to enjoy this either! Saying hello from #$theweekendsocial!

Cathy thanks! I just checked out your lasagna soup – omg yum!
Yum! This looks great! I can’t believe I’ve never thought of making peanut butter at home before. How long do you think you can keep it for?
Chaitali, it will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few weeks. It never lasts that long at my house though! Have fun experimenting with your own favorite flavors!
I haven’t been too adventurous with PB (I usually just get JIF Natural or Whole Foods brand), but this cinnamon-raisin PB looks SO. GOOD. Thanks!!
Jess, the natural stuff is my go-to but I like playing around in the kitchen, especially with peanut butter! Have fun experimenting :)
People in my house have a very unhealthy addiction to peanut butter! I think I’m going to use this recipe to get what I want out of them ;)
Thanks for sharing with Tasty Tuesday this week, Sam :)
Lena, I love the way you think!! :) Thanks for hosting Tasty Tuesday – see you next week!!
I never had PB with raisins in it. I’m intrigued now, guess I’ll have to give this recipe a try asap!
Mike, it’s pretty awesome! Don’t blame me when you are addicted though :)
I wish I had a food processor! I have a whole ton of peanut butter, so I may just try throwing in raisins and cinnamon and will see how that goes! :P This sounds delicious! <3
Farrah, you have the right idea! I think that would work perfectly! Enjoy it girl :)
Yes please for nut butters! I will eat them all. Except I don’t always like when they have a maple flavor? weird right?
Renee, I’m a big on bacon flavor, so I feel you on the maple. :) Yay for a fellow nut butter lover!
My nut butter obsession is legit out of control. I rarely ever buy the specialty nut butters unless they are on sale because as you said, they cost an arm and a leg! I love making my own nut butters anyway, that way I can come up with whatever combos I want!
Kat, do you have any favorites you would like to share? Making your own is definitely the way to go!
Cinnamon raisin pb is my favorite flavor! I am a die-hard fan of Wild Friend’s cinnamon raisin pb! But I always add loads more of my own cinnamon to it as well! haha!
Rebecca, oh that does sound so good. I love the cinnamon flavor with the peanuts – it’s just heavenly! Thanks for stopping by!
Ooooh this would be dangerous for me! I make my own peanut butter, and I have to agree with you, its SO worth it! Haven’t made experimental ones yet, but this would be a good place to start :) Thanks for joining us for meatless monday!
I love nut butter!! My favorite nut butter depends on my mood, I have so many favorites! We have made peanut butter but often we make other butters like cashew, pistachio, almond, or blends.
There is a cashew butter that I absolutey love I bought a few months ago at Whole Foods. It was so good – Scott and I devoured the jar in record time. Of course it was incredibly expensive and I haven’t seen it on sale again. But I think about it quite frequently. Lol. Thanks for the homemade recipe!
oh yummy yum! You definitely wouldn’t want onions and garlic in there LOL. Who knew? Thanks for linking up with us today for MM and bringing your fun recipe
