Peanut Oil

Peanut oil is a vegetable oil derived from peanuts, known for its high smoke point and subtle, nutty flavor. In baking, it contributes to tenderness and moisture, making it ideal for cookies, quick breads, and gluten-free recipes. Its neutral taste doesn't overpower other ingredients, while its high monounsaturated fat content helps in creating a desirable texture. Peanut oil is often chosen for its ability to maintain flavor integrity under high heat and its suitability for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets.
