can you blend almonds and/or peanuts to make almond or peanut butter?

We use a food processor to do that. Blenders are not normally recommended for nut butters.

I was not able to do it. The blender's jar/canister is too large and the mixture sticks to the sides. It may work if the nuts are crushed in some manner and you start with very small pieces. Even then doubtful.

I really don't know. I would first research how other people make nut butter, what kind of tool they use. If they say a blender then I see no reason why you could not use this for that then.

Yes, I just made some this morning with these almonds and have used these before for almond milk. They make it tasty!

Yup. Well, I've only made almond butter, but I would think it's the same. I've also made raw cereal with it.

I haven't tried to make peanut or almond butter with it, because I use my food processor. But I don't think you should make nut butters with it, because you're not supposed to leave the nutribullet running for more than a minute, and it takes about 12 minutes to make smooth nut butters. Hope that helps!

Absolutely! I make some very easy to make but very yummy Almond butter. Nothing else needed beside this jar and the blender.

I've never made peanut butter but I don't think these would work simply because you'd have to peel all the skins. I used them for Christmas candy and peanut brittle where it didn't matter that they had skins. They are great tasting and roast nicely.

my guess, without doing furthur research, is that all peanut butters use roasted peanuts, raw peanuts would produce a very different tasting product, almost all Almond butters use roasted nuts as well. As to why? To get that great peanut buttery flavor! An un-roasted product would be much blander.

I would say no; it's similar because you have to stir the oil in, but the stirred peanut butter is very runny and almost gloppy, to me. I actually don't like how runny it is. Adam's is much thicker.

Yes I have. I make almond butter. I takes a lot longer without oil, so the second time I uses a little almond oil and it was much better. The third time I made it I used a little almond oil and a little melted coconut oil. omg! it is GREAT.

These are raw peanuts and yes peanut butter can be made from raw peanuts. The only problem with these particular peanuts is, they have their shell skins. So, unless you want to go to the trouble to de-skin them, I'd say probably not good to make the butter with these nuts. Hope this helps.

You can make mayonnaise and blend other soft items, like smoothies with fruits. the instruction booklet says do not to attempt to blend "fruit pits, bones or other hard materials" so not sure about nuts.

Yes you can and no oil! Go to google. Type in myfrugaladventures.com/.../easy-homemade-almond-butter It tells you how to what to and enjoy.

I have had that happen before, in different brands of almond butter. It just requires some stirring to mix it up.

I simply add it to wheat puffs cereal, add some KAL stevia for sweetness and almond milk. Some people add it to smoothies for like a chocolate/PB treat. You can also just add almond/soy/animal milk or water to it to make a paste and use it as a spread. It's not exactly like PB but it has the same delicious flavor. I have also used it to make thai peanut butter sauce instead of actual peanut butter. This is my favorite version (over PB2 and others) because it is cheaper and it has no ingredients except peanuts.

Yes to first question. I make smoothies with many nut varieties (from Costco) and it works great. I do not know much about making almond milk, follow the recipe.

I have not used it to make peanut butter from raw nuts, but it did puree dried figs (quartered and soaked in Marsala) very nicely. It should work on nuts.

Absolutely anything. salsas, mole, one of my relatives used to even make peanut butter. It is very versatile.
