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) 😀

With banana, in oatmeal, alone, on bread! YUM
Warmed in the microwave and then drizzled over oatmeal.
Lurve 🙂 AB on apple wedges with LOTS of cinnamon – excellent combo that tastes decadent but is healthy!
ooh, how fun!
I LOVE putting on oatmeal while it’s still hot so the almond butter melts a little and turns into a thick, nutty frosting.
I also love it in smoothies with frozen cherries!
MMMM I love almond butter!! How to pick a favorite way… I don’t think there is any way I DON’T like it!
But I guess my fave would be an almond butter and banana sandwich on toasted cinnamon raisin bread! Mmmm…..
Almond butter and banana sandwich….with a little honey on homemade whole wheat bread. Heaven.
I love to spread almond butter on a plain banana and munch! It’s so good! 🙂
On a toasted bagel sprinkled with cinamon/sugar!
My favorite way to eat almond butter is just like yours. I like to grab my spoon and eat it while sitting on our patio with my pup. When I’m done she gets to lick the rest off my spoon. (I even sometimes put some on one of her cookies!) She is a Australian Cattle Dog mix 🙂
Now I won’t share with her the Vegan Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. However I do think that she believes the whole “chocolate is bad for dogs” is a terrible lie and conspiracy so we can keep the chocolate for ourselves! 🙂 lol
Have a great weekend!

I love AB on just about everything… but I guess I’m pretty simple because I think my favorite combo buddy is a banana!
I love almond butter in my oatmeal. 🙂
In oatmeal, with banana of course!
On top of a warmed chocolate VitaTop!
Mixed in to warm oatmeal, on an english muffin, with a banana, with an apple, with chocolate chips, on ice cream. good with EVERYTHING, literally.
Love it most places but I especially love it when Mama Pea uses it in baking recipes!!!
In a breakfast cookie!!!! Yummm…I’m in love with the chocolate one-just like chocolate covered almonds 🙂
Slathered on…. ANYTHING. It is my kryptonite 😉
Mmmmm…letting it melt on top of oatmeal in the winter! Yummy!!
Cookie dough Larabar???!! MUST TRY!
I like the almond butter straight out of the jar myself.
That is so wonderful that Maranatha sent you samples to review! I have a slight obsession with their Dark Chocolate Almond Butter and I swear on my life it even tastes better than chocolate icing. My favorite way to use it is by melting in the microwave to create a decadent chocolate drizzle over oatmeal. Amazing!
I love almond butter as a dip for my Kashi TLC crackers. 🙂 Yum!
I have to go with the good old AB sandwhich on wheat with a sprinkle of cinnamon and drizzle of honey, you can’t mess with perfection 🙂
on a warm english muffin with banana… I might need some as dessert right now…
Yea….definitely just on a spoon for me. It’s DANGEROUS, but oh so good 🙂
spread heavily around the rim of a plain geek yogurt container with strawberries for dipping! the plain greek yogurt mixed with the sweet strawberries and the bold almond butter makes a foodgasm combo!
On millet/flax toast with fig jam YUMMY!!!!!
I just ran out of almond butter! I need some more! My favorite use is without a doubt on sweet potatoes! It’s great on dates too (the kind that you eat, but I guess it would be good to bring on a date too. If a guy doesn’t like my almond butter, then he’s not the guy for me).
almond butter and jelly sammies!
I don’t want to sound like a broken record — but I eat it straight out of the jar with my fingers. No spoon required here! 🙂
I always have to buy out the stores around here when they have it because half the time I’ll eat my jars too fast (sometimes in one day, whoops) and then am out, crave it.. and then go to check the store and they’re sold out! I’m currently hiding (from myself, that is) 7 jars in my pantry!
oh my goodness, on a spoon! (or my finger if i just cant make it to the drawer in time!) 🙂
I love almond butter right out of the jar, in smoothies, on oatmeal, on toast . . . pretty much anything I can chew will work for me:)
On apples … mmmm….
My favorite is almond butter + banana. Heaven!
on a banana
As a dipper for dark chocolate almond Dove bites!
on toast!
Just simply smothered on toasted Ezekial bread and topped with sliced bananas!
I use it on a whole wheat toasted bagel thin before long runs. And maybe a few spoons here and there out of the jar. My favorite is the raw almond butter..yummmmmmm.
almond butter on dark chocolate squares! YUM
Grilled AB&banana sandwiches are my absolute fave!
I love almond butter smeared on crunchy apple slices and topped with flax seeds!
on a spoon! Or with toast & honey. mmm…
My favorite almond butter is the Maranatha Dark Chocolate Almond spread. I slice a banana in half lengthwise, spread the dark chocolate AB on it and smush it back together. Then I slice it into little banana/AB sandwiches and sprinkle with cinnamon. SO GOOD!
drizzled on top of a bowl of greek yogurt, fruit and granola. yum!
my fav. use almond butter is literally dousing dark chocolate pieces in it! =) =) =)
On fruits of course! Hahah
standing in the kitchen and eating it right out of the jar – honey peanut butter is my favorite
My fav use of ab is on a banana with some mesquite….or on a spoon from the jar 🙂
I love eating it by the spoonful, too! But most often, I eat a BLOB of it paired with sliced bananas! YUM.
Almond butter is love. Almond butter on HEB buddies Graham cracker snacks is perfection :
