what is almond butter used for
Itâs not the same as almond paste or marzipan, both of which are made from finely ground almonds (but with a fair amount of sugar added) and used in baking. The texture of almond butter is similar to peanut butter (they are jarred the same and sold alongside one another at the grocer), but differ in taste. Whereas peanut butter has a pronounced, well, peanut flavor, almond butter has a richer, creamier taste that is nutty, but (oddly) not distinctly almondy. Nutritionally, they are similar. Two tablespoons of peanut butter have 188 calories and 16 grams of fat.
