Skin-On Peanut Butter Recipe
This Skin-On Peanut Butter Recipe uses roasted peanuts with their skins intact, blended into a smooth and creamy butter. The roasting process enhances the peanut flavor and softens the skins, which contributes a slightly rustic texture and earthy taste. Using a powerful blender with a tamper helps achieve the right smoothness efficiently.

Ingredients
- 4 cups peanuts skin-on
- 1 tsp fine salt optional, or 1/2 tbsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp brown sugar (*optional)
Instructions
- If using raw peanuts, first roast them: in the air fryer at 160 °C (320 °F) for 18 minutes, or oven at 175 °C (350 °F) for 20 minutes, tossing twice. (See Note 2.)
- Add all the roasted and cooled peanuts to a Vitamix blender. Blend on high speed for 2 minutes, using the tamper to continuously push down the peanuts until they have turned into a smooth peanut butter.

Notes
- Use a high-powered blender with a tamper for the smoothest peanut butter and easiest processing.
- Roast peanuts evenly and watch closely to avoid burning, especially in smaller batches where roasting time is shorter.
- Adjust salt and brown sugar amounts to taste; these are optional and customizable.
