The Redneck way to stir your peanut butter!
I contemplated calling this the Homestead Peanut Butter Stirring Hack. But, let’s face it—we did it this way long before we owned a homestead!
If you buy natural peanut butter or almond butter like we do, you’re gonna need to stir it!

That oil rises to the top, and the thick stuff gets thicker and thicker on the bottom until sometimes, it’s downright impossible to mix well with just a knife.
**Pro Redneck Tip—store your natural PB or almond butter upside down to make the oil go to the bottom. This makes it easier to stir. This jar was just bought, so it’s not been stored that way! **
You have several options:
- Eat lumpy peanut butter
- Keep on trying with a knife
- Get a handy-dandy peanut butter stirring gadget like this hook thingy, or this lid/cranking one
- Use an Immersion Blender/Stick Blender, which works, but when we tried that we had a hard time reaching the edges of the jar
- Use the “How to stir peanut butter like a redneck” method (recommended highly by any self-respecting redneck)
This is a super fast and surprisingly easy way to take care of that lumpy, bumpy, oily mess so you can get to spreading on your PB&J!
With tools you probably already have lying around!

Same to you!
Thanks for coming by!
This is awesome and hilarious and I’m going to do it just to say that I did!
Haha!!
You do that!
It’s great fun!
Hahahaha, how cool!
I have a cookie recipe with natural cashew butter, and since it goes into the batter, I use a hand mixer anyway.
I know, right?
We do what works!
I had so much fun reading this post. Yes, more power! Great idea. Thanks.
Glad to entertain you!
That is pretty cool! I wonder what else I can use that trick/hack with. We don’t eat much peanut butter here. I am sure there is something! Thanks for sharing!
Haha! I’m sure!
We do eat a lot, so we end up stirring a bunch!
I was trying to remember the last time we had peanut butter in oiur pantry…3 decades ago. I’m sure it’s separated by now!
Oh, well…it might need some attention.
OMG I’ll take the Redneck way any day! As for storing it upside down, I do that with anything that has liquid that sett led on top, especially kidney beans.
Smart!!
