Questions:

What’s your favorite nut butter(s) of all time?  Type and brand?

I know this is asking a lot of you nut butter freaks food bloggers and blog readers.

Mine are:

1. Sunflower Seed Butter/Trader Joe’s

Sunflower Seed Butter

This is my #1 go-to nut butter of all time.  There are other brands of sunflower seed butter but based on price, taste, availability, I love TJ’s sunflower seed butter.

2. Peanut Butter:

Mainstream:  Jif Naturals or Skippy Naturals (I always cook with these or use these in recipes.  I save my specialty nut butters for just eating plain.)

Specialty: Naturally Nutty Butter Toffee Peanut Butter

Flavored/Chocolate: PB & Co Dark Chocolate Dreams

I have never been a huge fan of Almond Butter.  It’s fine, but it will never ever compare to or replace SFSB or PB for me.

Same with cashew butter, hemp seed butter, etc.  They are fine and fun for a change, but I love SFSB and PB more!

See This Post for a stash of some of my nut butters.

3. Cookie Butter.  Also known as Speculoos Spread

  1. oh mannnn. My favourite pb has to be maranatha. So creamy and so perfectly salty! for other nut butters… i love them all! except walnut butter, ew, so bitter!

  2. This is an amazing collection of peanut butter recipes! I love the way that you can find uses for peanut butter in all kinds of baked (and no-bake) recipes :)
    I’ve been following your blog, and noticed that you have not yet posted any peanut butter ice cream recipes. I recently made peanut butter chocolate covered pretzel ice cream and think it would fit in well with the kind of treats you make! If you have the time, you should check it out at http://rookstocooks.wix.com/home as inspiration for your fantastic recipe collection :)

  3. I was just reading Serious Eats and Epicurus taste tests for PB. (Natural and regular.) Have you tried this? Of course, I just pinned youf Honey Roasted PB recipe because homemade is the best. I usually bake with Jif. I would love to hear your thoughts, girl!

  4. PB & Co.’s Cinnamon Raisin Swirl is my all-time favorite peanut butter, but I LOVE Trader Joe’s Crunchy, Salted Peanut Butter. Just two simple ingredients make TJ’s version a masterpiece – peanuts and salt! :)

  5. Oh my goodness. So many PB recipes! Definitely my new favourite website.
    I shall not rest until I’ve made all of these!
