Be the first to rate it
Raw peanuts roasted, skinned and blended into smooth homemade peanut butter, with chocolate or cinnamon versions.
Ingredients
- 4 cups raw peanuts skin on, unroasted, unsalted
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
- Chocolate flavor: 2 tablespoon melted dark chocolate
- Cinnamon flavor: listed, but no amount given
Equipment
- baking sheet
- food processor
- airtight jar
Directions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread the peanuts on a baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden and glossy.
- Rub the warm peanuts in a towel until about half the skins fall off. Leave at least 2 cups with the skins on for extra flavor (they are harder to blend).
- Process on high for about 1 minute, until ground (this goes faster while they are still warm). Scrape down the sides.
- Process 1 more minute, then scrape. It will look dry and thick.
- Process 1 more minute, then scrape. It will look shiny, soft, but still thick.
- Process a few more minutes (usually under 2), until very smooth, lukewarm, and glossy.
- If you like, stir in salt and any flavoring at the end.
Notes
Using roasted, skinless peanuts is faster; skip step 1. Store in a sealed glass jar or airtight container in the pantry up to 3 months; stir in any oil that separates. No need to refrigerate.
