According to the USDA, small amounts of hydrogenated vegetable oil were traditionally added to commercial peanut butters to prevent the natural separation of oil. However, many health-conscious consumers prefer to avoid these additives. The good news is that numerous brands now offer peanut butter without hydrogenated oil, focusing on simple, whole-ingredient recipes.

While most truly natural peanut butter, made with only peanuts and salt, naturally separates due to the density difference between solids and oil, some commercially available products have found a solution. This means if you hate the hassle of stirring, it is possible to find natural peanut butter that doesn't separate, thanks to the addition of specific, health-conscious ingredients.
