Tips to make the best homemade peanut butter

Use these tips to make your peanut butter the best it can be:

1. 1. Use raw peanuts, as these are the best. You can even use unshelled peanuts. Just roast them for 5 minutes more.
   2. The taste: you can enrich your peanut butter with vanilla or sweeteners like monk fruit, but adding a few drops of banana extract is a real game-changer.
   3. Wondering about the appearance? Well, you can make your peanut butter lighter or darker. It all depends on whether you peel the outer skin or not. It really does not make any difference in the final taste. To peel the skin, rub warm peanuts with a kitchen towel, and the skin will fall off.
   4. To give them a bit of texture, you can toss in 1 tablespoon of roasted peanuts in the last few seconds of processing. This will give a nice crunchy texture to the peanut butter.
