Frequently Asked Questions About 100% almond butter
Is almond butter good for you?
Yes, almond butter can be a nutritious choice: it provides unsaturated fats, vitamin E and magnesium. Choose a jar made from almonds alone if you want to avoid added sugar, salt or oils, and use it as one part of a varied diet.
How do you make almond butter at home?
To make almond butter, blend almonds in a food processor until they turn into a smooth paste. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides; the almonds release their own oil as they break down, so added oil is usually unnecessary.
Is almond butter better than peanut butter?
Neither is universally better. Almond butter is made from almonds, while peanut butter is made from peanuts, so their flavors and nutrient profiles differ. For a like-for-like comparison, choose versions without added sugar or oils and consider which taste you prefer.
Why is there oil on top of almond butter?
The oil is naturally present in the almonds and can separate when the jar sits, especially in almond butter without stabilizers. Stir it thoroughly back in with a clean utensil; separation alone does not mean the almond butter has spoiled.
Does almond butter need to be refrigerated after opening?
Not always; follow the storage directions on the jar. A tightly closed container in a cool, dry place is often suitable, while refrigeration can slow the oil from turning rancid. Chilling also makes almond butter firmer and less spreadable.
Can you bake with almond butter?
Yes, almond butter works in cookies, cakes, sauces and other recipes. Its fat and texture can affect how a bake turns out, so use a recipe designed for almond butter rather than assuming it will replace another ingredient in equal amounts.
Why does almond butter taste bitter?
A mild bitter or astringent note can come from the almond skins or the way the almonds were roasted. A strong bitter taste with a stale, rancid smell suggests the almond butter may have spoiled, so do not eat it.
Can almond butter replace peanut butter in recipes?
Usually, yes: almond butter can replace peanut butter in many spreads, smoothies and recipes. It has a different, milder almond flavor, so the finished dish will taste different; in baking, a recipe made for nut butter is the safer swap.
Does almond butter go bad after opening?
Yes, almond butter can eventually turn rancid, particularly if it is exposed to heat, air or light. Keep the lid closed, use a clean spoon, and discard it if it develops a distinctly unpleasant smell or taste; follow the jar’s storage instructions.
Is almond butter suitable for people with diabetes?
Unsweetened almond butter does not contain added sugar, but it still contributes carbohydrates and is often eaten with foods that affect blood sugar. The best portion and pairing can vary with your diabetes plan, so ask your diabetes care team for personal guidance.

What is 100% almond butter?
Made by grinding almonds until smooth or slightly textured, 100% almond butter contains just almonds; it is different from sweetened almond spreads and almond-paste confections. Natural oil can rise to the top in the jar, so stir it back in before serving.
Its rich, nutty flavour and creamy texture work well on toast, stirred into porridge or yoghurt, or paired with apple or banana. It is commonly used at breakfast and as a snack, and can also add body to sauces and smoothies. Almond butter is rich in unsaturated fats and provides fibre, protein and vitamin E. Because it is energy-dense, a modest spread on wholegrain toast or alongside fruit makes a satisfying portion.
