What is your favorite nut butter?

I love to make my own with odd nuts like Brazil or hazlenut or pistachio and add some herb/spice flavorings. Pistachio and Brazil are especially good with savory flavorings like rosemary or thyme, or roasted garlic, and hazlenut is obviously sweet so it's better with cardamon, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.

Cashew and almond butters - so delicious.

I make my own most the time. Really loved the "date and cinnamon almond butter"... but "coconut cashew" was delish also...

I just got done making peanut butter in the blender with coconut oil as the oil and a little salt. Delicious, but a pain to clean up like you wouldn't believe. I got a few days worth made, though. Next time I'll shell a couple pounds of peanuts and have done for awhile.

And I wish shelling my own peanuts made them a zero calorie food, but I don't think I'm burning enough calories off. It's much slower going than I remember as a kid, though.

When cleaning the blender, have you tried adding a little dish soap and warm water and blending on high for a couple minutes? I find it's a lot easier to clean after I do that.

Almond .. yum

peanut butter

Thanks! I will try it next time.

Pistachio sounds AMAZING

I have only tasted peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter and soynut butter. Peanut butter is by far the best tasting IMO.

It's not even a close race. Peanut butter has crossed the finish line, showered, gone to the after party, and is home sleeping soundly before the others even get off the starting block.

You nailed it IMO! :laugh: Then once rested, peanut butter returns to the finish line to point and laugh as the other nut butters finally limp across that line.
