What's Your Favorite Nut Butter?

[kittenesque]

Sorry, I just had to start this thread. A while ago, I wasn't disciplined enough to be trusted with a jar of nut butter in my house, but now I can have several jars in stock and enjoy them in moderation.

Right now, I have Peanut Butter n' Co.'s Might Maple peanut butter. It's a tad sweet, but I'm digging the maple flavor!

My absolute favorite so far is Justin's Maple Almond.

We tend to get fairly standard nut butters here in Aus, no amazing flavours like in the USA. But I am totally digging fresh local macadamia butter, it is the most delicious nut butter ever! Nom!

[schnauzers]

For me it's a toss up between natural cashew butter or almond butter.

[UnaChispita]

OP-

I'm a Justin's fan too

My fav VVVVV

[JayAnon]

Hazelnut! Yum yum yum yum

I am in love with Whole Foods "grind your own" honey roasted peanut butter. There is some sugar in it, but its actually lower in sugar that some of the "natural" peanut butters out there. Its dangerous though. I think the first time I bought it I ate half the container with a spoon!!

I also started making my own nut butters in a food processor. Cashew is awesome!!

I can't trust myself with peanut butter in the house otherwise I'll just sit there and eat it with a bag of raisins lol (taste amaaaaazing!)

My total favorite of all time was from Trader Joe's - they carried a crunchy almond flax. The flax was toasted and imparted a nutty yummy flavor and texture to the crunchy almond butter. Alas! They pulled it from the shelves when some of the products from the producer tested positive for E.Coli. I do hope they bring it back soon...

^^^ This. I finally had to stop buying it because I couldn't control myself. I never really perfected the "moderation" part of fresh ground peanut butter.

[kittenesque]

DiannaPrince and Gia85, I hope it gets easier for you to eat just a spoonful or two! x_x

I've never seen macadamia butter in my city. Sounds amazing though. I've also never seen cashew butter here, either.
All this nut butter talk is making me want some now!

You would LOVE Peanut Butter & Co's Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Peanut Butter. Amazing.

Basically all PB&Co products are fantastic. My two favorites are White Chocolate Wonderful and The Bee's Knees. Dark Chocolate Dreams tastes like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup!

YES! PB&Co Dark Chocolate Dream, Maple, and Cinnamon Raisin Swirl are staples for me. I don't really like regular PB (gasp! I know...). I like the Justin's Honey PB, but can only find it in single packs. I also am in love with Biscoff spread, one of my guilty pleasures

[gobbles23]

Right now I'm addicted to Skippy's natural pb with honey. Oh man. It's SO GOOD!

Oh. My. God

This is why it's a good thing I don't live in the states....

[tara19]

Australian here too.
I'm so jealous.

I'll just stick to plain natural peanut butter.

[ekdt]

i always have a jar of natural peanut butter in the house but also natural almond butter peanut butter for my protein shakes and baking.. almond butter for my plain rice cakes as a snack at work. mmm!! i had cashew butter recently but I dont like it as much as the other two. I'm thinking about buying pb2 chocolate when it's in stock.. anyone try it? i have issues moderating my peanut butter consumption too so i've heard that pb2 is a good alternative as i could put it in my shakes.

[wakechica]

NUTELLA!
Whole Earth crunchy organic PB. Want to try whole earth dark choc PB
Jason's PB with honey

[whatevergirl]

i'd have to say almond butter.
and i like the powdered peanut butter, for protein shakes. (official name "PB2'') mixes and tastes good!

[MadCatLady]

Oh. My. God

I'm going to Florida later in the year. Think I'm gonna come back with a case full of yummy peanut butters! (And quest bars, and lululemon yoga pants...)

[LHarwood]

Me n my hubby were talking about where we would love to go before we have kids and we agreed America...his reasons were Disneyland, Florida Keys, food places, the scenery etc..


My reason-peanut butter

[MadCatLady]

You guys are making me crave some right now! Had some almond butter this morning with my pumpkin protein bread

I also really like Naturally More, PB, but I really don't like that they took out the egg whites and added soy protein. Not sure if they did that for the safety or just to have a larger customer base. Probably both! Tastes pretty much the same... I just rather have egg protein than soy protein :P

just curious if you made this homemade? if so, would you mind sharing the recipe?

[kittenesque]

Sure! It's essentially Jamie Eason's recipe on here, except I weigh everything out and add a bit less Stevia in the Raw... so you can add more if you want it more sweet. I like it with less since I top it with sweetened nut butter :b

60 grams Oats
1/8 tsp Salt
3 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 tsp Nutmeg, Ground
1/8 tsp Allspice, Ground
12 grams (Stevia) In the Raw
60 grams Gold Standard Natural 100% Whey
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
184 grams (All Whites) 100% Liquid Egg Whites
213 grams (Libby's) 100% Pure Pumpkin
62 grams Water

Mix dry ingredients first, then add the wet. Bake at 350F for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the pan you use. The deeper the pan, the longer the time, but you can always keep an eye on it. :3
I like to cut it into 16 bars. With my protein powder (130 calories per 30g scoop), each bar is about 44 calories.

I prefer peanut butter for everyday, but if I want sweet or spicy then almond butter is my go-to.

This sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing. And I like almond butter and supposed to be healthier?

I've used that recipe too and it's great. I did it a couple of weeks ago and used mashed banana in place of the pumpkin and it was spectacular. Especially with some almond butter spread on it.

Peanuts are not true nuts but legumes, and as such contain lectins which can be harmful for some people. The Paleo crowd tend to avoid them as a result. Having said that, peanut butter does taste good. I like Whole Earth (I don't know if this is available in the US) which is just peanuts and salt.
Usually, though, I buy almond butter - however, my local healthfood shop stocks all sorts of nut butters but they're prohibitively expensive (I only work part time so my budget is tight).

Has anyone tried Barney Butter Bare almond butter? It's super delicious just by itself
