Frequently Asked Questions About Blanched almond butter
What is blanched almond butter?
Blanched almond butter is a smooth spread made by grinding almonds after their skins have been removed. Plain versions contain just almonds, though some brands add salt or other ingredients.
How is blanched almond butter different from regular almond butter?
Blanched almond butter is made from skinless almonds, while regular almond butter may include the skins. Removing the skins gives the blanched version a paler color and usually a milder, smoother taste.
Does blanched almond butter taste different from almond butter made with the skins on?
Yes, blanched almond butter usually tastes milder and less earthy because the almond skins are removed. Almond butter made with whole almonds can have a more pronounced, slightly bitter flavor.
How can you use blanched almond butter?
Use blanched almond butter as a spread, stir it into oatmeal or smoothies, or whisk it into sauces and dressings. For a thinner drizzle, mix it with a little warm water until it reaches the consistency you want.
Can you make blanched almond butter at home?
Yes, you can make blanched almond butter by processing blanched almonds in a powerful food processor until smooth. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides; the almonds may look crumbly before releasing enough oil to become a spread.
Why does oil separate in blanched almond butter?
Oil separation is normal in blanched almond butter because the natural almond oils can rise to the surface. Stir it thoroughly with a clean utensil before serving to bring the oil back into the spread.
Should blanched almond butter be refrigerated after opening?
Blanched almond butter can generally be stored in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed. Follow the storage directions on the jar; refrigeration can help keep it fresh but will make the spread firmer.
Can blanched almond butter replace peanut butter in recipes?
Yes, blanched almond butter can replace peanut butter in many spreads, smoothies, and baked goods. Its flavor is milder, and its consistency may differ between brands, so adjust added liquid if a recipe becomes too thick.
Is blanched almond butter the same as almond paste or marzipan?
No, blanched almond butter is not the same as almond paste or marzipan. Almond butter is a spread made from ground almonds, while almond paste and marzipan are typically sweetened and used in baking or confectionery.
Can babies eat blanched almond butter?
Yes, babies can have smooth blanched almond butter in a thin layer or stirred into food, rather than as a thick spoonful that could pose a choking risk. Almonds are a common allergen, so introduce them in an age-appropriate form.

What is Blanched almond butter?
Blanched almond butter is made by grinding almonds after their skins have been removed, usually until they form a smooth, creamy spread. It has a mild, naturally sweet, nutty taste; some jars are runnier than others, depending on how finely the almonds are ground and whether anything is added.
Spread it on toast, swirl it into porridge or yogurt, or serve it with apple or banana slices. It is rich in vitamin E and mostly unsaturated fats, with some protein and fibre, and is energy-dense. A thin spread adds flavour without making a snack too heavy; check the jar if you prefer a version made with almonds alone.
