I have been trying my absolute best to try this, but to no avail! Peanut butter that I make at home with peanuts roasted at home, no problem! But this keeps giving me a mealy nut butter, no where near the shine your pictures show! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

  Hmm… did you use the coconut oil? That might give it a smoother, shinier texture.
  Also, we made this in the 32 oz. container, so double the recipe if you’re using the large container!

  I did Sam. The first time I tried it and without the coconut oil, I dumped in all the ingredients in one go and it was a disaster and the motor kept overheating. The second time around, I only started with the coconut milk with just the peanuts. It already started giving a weird texture… So I started adding coconut oil on top of it… no go. Then added flaxseed oil out of desperation. It still wouldn’t blend smoothly, especially when the dates were added.
  
  My next attempt wants to be “just start with the peanuts, then layer in everything else” but given that I didn’t get great results with only just the coconut milk on my second attempt, I’m not sure if it will be successful!
  
  I have to say, the flavor is ABSOLUTELY amazing! But I’m hoping I can make it so its not a clumpy mess!

  I’ll mess around with this recipe soon. It’s been awhile since we’ve made it, so can’t troubleshoot the non-smoothness. Will update you on our results. Thanks for the feedback, super helpful (really).
