Maranatha was so kind to send me some almond butter to *review* on the blog, even though we all know how much I love it. I love all almond butter- I don’t discriminate 😉 They also sent sunflower seed butter and Dark Chocolate Peanut spread (which looks like frosting, which is ok with me) 😀

To make things even more fun, I’ll throw in a batch of my vegan almond butter chocolate chip cookies

  11. Michele H on July 16, 2010 at 11:47 pm

    I love it with oatmeal. YUM.



  12. Amy on July 16, 2010 at 11:47 pm

    I’ve been enjoying it in my oatmeal or yogurt. It’s good right from the jar but I feel so guilty doing that! but not that guilty haha



  13. Raphaela on July 16, 2010 at 11:47 pm

    3. On pancakes
    4. On bananas
    5. In smoothies



  14. Melissa on July 16, 2010 at 11:49 pm

    I love mixing almond butter with syrup as a pancake topping!



  15. Amy @ Amy Starts To Run on July 16, 2010 at 11:50 pm

    Almond butter on top of a grain-filled piece of toast is out of this world!



  16. Abbie on July 16, 2010 at 11:50 pm

    I LOVE almond butter on everything……oatmeal, breakfast cookie, banana, waffles. I have to have it everyday!
    It is so good!



  17. ***ANDREA*** on July 16, 2010 at 11:50 pm

  18. Carolyn (mealsandmiles.wordpress.com) on July 16, 2010 at 11:54 pm

    i pit a mejool date, and stuff it with AB! so drippy, so sweet, so delish. thanks for the giveaway!



  19. Katherine on July 16, 2010 at 11:55 pm

    My favorite use of almond butter is mixing it with steel cut oats and chia seeds:)

    Otherwise, mixing it with dark chocolate almond (or peanut) butter and then mixing it WITH ice cream. Rare, out of control amazing treat.

    To further detail my love of nut butters, my company recently did a project where we were to make a poster detailing what we love or what they stand far. They then compiled those snapshots of us with our signs to show how different we all are, how we contribute to one purpose, and so on. The employees were very profound and made posters like “I love musical theatre”, “I vote for world peace”, “I’m a strong mother”, etc. Mine simply read “I <3 PEANUT BUTTER".



  20. kirsten on July 16, 2010 at 11:56 pm

    in oatmeal! soooo good!!



  21. Amanda (modernation) on July 16, 2010 at 11:59 pm

    I am an AB convert. I was a devoted PB fan but now truly love AB. It is essential to my pre-run routine spread on a piece of WW toast. Easy peasy!



  22. Caryn on July 16, 2010 at 11:59 pm

    I love schmearing it in between banana halves (like a sandwich) or mixing it into yogurt! Thanks for your great blog! 🙂



  23. Lauren on July 17, 2010 at 12:01 am

    almond butter makes everything better! i love it on everything.



  24. Tamara on July 17, 2010 at 12:02 am

    This might sound weird but I add 1/2 teaspoon to my morning tea. Oddly, it tastes just like old fashioned store bought cookies of my youth.



  25. amy g on July 17, 2010 at 12:02 am

  32. Mellissa on July 17, 2010 at 12:15 am

    I love almond butter scooped into my oatmeal, sitting right on top so I can have a bit of almond goodness in each bite. Also love it in my breakfast cookie.



  33. Allie on July 17, 2010 at 12:15 am

    1 Van’s waffle
    2 (what I consider) tablespoons of Almond Butter
    2 (what I consider) tablespoons of chocolate chips

    Face-rocking foodgasms occur.
