Peanut Flour – So Simple!

There are so many types of flour, but what is “flour” really? Flour is defined as a powder made of grounded nuts, seeds, or grains. Normally, when one thinks of flour they picture all-purpose which is used to make so many amazing dishes, from casseroles to croissants. But there are a variety of other flour types that can create similar recipes with a completely different flavor profile. Almonds, walnuts, even pistachios can be ground into a powder! Yet the most popular nut of all might make the tastiest flour yet – peanuts!

Homemade peanut flour could not be easier, really! Blend raw peanuts into a powder, then store in a jar. That’s it! For an enhanced flavor, you can roast the peanuts in a pan over medium heat for 5-10 minutes prior to blending. However, let the nuts cool completely, as blitzing them warm will likely lead to peanut butter rather than flour. If that happens, add a pinch of salt and bottle it up, then start again with another batch of raw peanuts. A delicious mistake!

If you have an intolerance or allergy to peanuts, do not make this recipe, it is 100% peanuts. Try coconut flour or chestnut flour instead, if able. Flour can be made out of so many different nuts or seeds! Use the same technique as this homemade peanut flour and be creative. Come up with your own flour blend that fits your taste preferences best. Enjoy the possibilities!

Ingredients for Homemade Peanut Flour

Peanuts, raw – Purchase completely raw peanuts (not roasted, salted, or blanched!). You can use peanuts that have skin or not, it’s totally personal preference. If you have a high speed blender, the skins will be blitzed so tiny that it doesn’t make a difference to the texture.
