20 Healthy Recipes You Can Make with Almond Butter

20 Healthy Recipes You Can Make with Almond Butter

I think if I were forced to change the name of my blog, I’d probably go with “In it 4 the Almond Butter.” Ok, I’m kidding… but maybe not… Anyway the point is, I’m definitely riding the almond butter train. In fact, at this point I’m probably driving the train.

I think one of the reasons I’m such a fan of almond butter is because it’s just so universally delicious. You can dress it up or down make it sweet or savory. It can rock out solo or with some chocolate or with some fruit or with some spices. Almond butter is down to party.barneybutter

As a part of my monthly recipe series with Barney Butter, I’ve been bringing you monthly almond butter creations ranging from breakfasts to snacks to dinners using almond butter as a key ingredient. I thought this month, it would be fun to round up some of my favorite almond butter recipes I’ve shared, along with almond butter recipes from some of my blogging pals.

As I was putting this together, I was slightly taken aback by just how many almond butter recipes I’ve shared on this blog so far. I guess I wasn’t kidding when I said I like this stuff. It just goes to show you how may different ways you can use one jar.

20 Healthy Recipes You Can Make with Almond Butter

One of the reasons I’m a big fan of Barney Butter is their amazingly creamy texture, which is perfect for so many of these recipes. This is a good gateway almond butter for anyone still on the fence and squarely on team peanut butter. Part of the reason their almond butters are so smooth is because they use blanched almonds. This means none of the skin on the almond goes into the nut butter. I also learned that this is great for anyone with a sensitive stomach. I typically get my Barney Butter from Homegoods (or TJ’s) or Whole Foods, but their sold at most grocery stores in the natural section.

    My favorite way to eat almond butter is in oatmeal, on a banana, or on my spoon! 🙂 I would love to try it in a savory recipe, I wonder how a Thai almond butter sauce would be? Similar to Thai peanut sauce?

    You are the almond butter queen and I absolutely love it! These all look amazing and can we please talk about how freaking good Barney Butter is even by itself? I don’t understand how they do it, but I’m glad they do! I’m pinning so many of these, I want them all!

    Of all the nut butter in my pantry (and of all my favorite flavors) I think Barney Butter melts the best. So creamy and smooth that it works so well in baked goods.

    I’m boring so I like almond butter with apples or on top of oatmeal : ) I’m excited to give these recipes a try. I always see Barney at Whole Foods, so I’ll definitely check it out.

    Wow! I never would have thought to use almond butter in noodle-dish dinners like that!!

    I LOVE almond butter in a Greek yogurt bowl and just made some banana oat muffins last night that are 1000% better with some almond butter on top!

    Loving the recipes, thanks!

    Since doing the Whole30, I’ve started to prefer almond butter over PB. I never would have said that a year ago!

    Slightly embarrassed by my banana protein bars photo! Pretty sure that was my second recipe EVAH *see no evil monkey* But thanks so much for including them in this wonderful roundup! My coworker’s boyfriend made them last week and had me try one… they’re just as good as I remember. Need to make those bad boys again STAT.

    Oh those almond butter blondies are my favorite! I could eat one everyday and never get old of it!

    I LOVE it! I can’t wait to finally plunge in and buy some jars of Barney Butter. Your enthusiasm is contagious Georgie. One of my favorite ways to eat almond butter is drizzling it over oatmeal. It drizzles better than most peanut butters. Thank the Lord for all the different nuts. <3

    This is one EPIC round up! I love almond butter but haven’t tried Barney Butter’s just yet. I love it in my smoothie bowls or spread on top of any cookie or bread 🙂 I think it would be fun to see an almond butter “nice” cream recipe for summer.

  14. Emilie @ Emilie Eats says

    Almond butter is honestly a gift from the gods. BLESS. This round-up is basically everything I’ve ever dreamed of!
