    Is this where we make sure you're weighing the portions (with kleenex handy) just in case? :)

    It's one of my staples... on pancakes or in oatmeal.

    My favorite is the caramel almond butter from Maranatha though.. that thing's the bomb!

    I wish they made a PB2 almond version!!

    Oh man yes. Although I find nut butter filling so worth the calories (I usually have about 20-25g of it). But it would save calories on my almond butter/protein powder oats for sure.

    Have you tried cashew butter? (says the woman in the dark alley)

    Oh god yes. Even better than almond butter!

    BuffBake do an amazing Snickerdoodle Almond butter - finished my jar of it last week and got a bit sad :( replaced it with some raspberry peanut butter but I think I'll probably buy it again! I'm a bit of a nut butter addict.

    That's awesome, I just made some chai almond butter and then stumbled upon this thread! Oh, have any of you tried muscle butter? Delicious also.

    I love almond butter and jelly. Never been a huge fan of peanut butter (except in chocolate).

    I love almond butter. In combination with (the right varieties of) pear, it tastes like marzipan.

    Also delightful with maple syrup in Greek yogurt.

    I don't understand this thread at all. Almond butter tastes like sadness and existential dread compared to peanut butter...

    My husband has a terrible peanut allergy and so I've tried pretty well all non-peanut substitutes, and nothing except that soy-based Wowbutter even comes close IMO. Especially because where I live the almond stuff is like $14/jar, twice as much as most of the other options.

    @peleroja - LOL!! you could ask @fishshark to be your friend and the two of you could start an "anti-almond butter discussion". I myself love the stuff. I like almost all nut butters better than peanut butter...sorry...except for soy butter which tastes like sadness and existential dread...

    it is too close to peanut butter to not be peanut butter. it's like when you take a drink of what you think is a coke but it turns out to be pepsi.
