Blanched-peanuts Peanut Butter



I bought a bag of blanched peanuts one day because I'd just read an article that talked about the health benefits of boiled/blanched peanuts compared to other nuts. (http://nutritiondiva.quickanddirtytips.com/are-peanuts-good-for-you.aspx) Unfortunately, I didn't find them too tasty. I put them in my oatmeal, but even then I still wasn't too excited about them. I decided the best way to use them, instead of just choking them down, was to put them in my beloved food processor and eat them as peanut butter. That's exactly what I did too! Since they were blanched, the peanut butter turned a much lighter color. The good news is that the butter is pretty good (when do I NOT like peanut butter?!) and it makes my oatmeal nice and thick, just like I like it!
