Re: nut butters

Charlene,

Equal. Nut butter is just nut flour that has been processed longer

releasing the oils and changing the consistency. So one cup of nut

butter can substitute for one cup of nut flour.

Some people say you just use the same amount of butter that you would of the

flour. But someone also sent this one time. Pearl

1 cup of almond flour

= 1/3 C + 2tsp almond butter

= 2/3 c almonds

1 C almond butter

= slightly less than 2 C nuts

= lightly less than 3 C almond flour

1 C almonds

= 1.5 C flour

=1/2 C + 1 T almond butter.

Hi all,

I have a question about nut butters. How are they used in substitution for

almond flour? I would like to start using almond butter but I need to know the

ratio.

Thanks, charlene

I've been thinking about the discrepancy in the advice to sub equal

amounts of nut butter for nut flour and what is posted below. My

guess is that what is posted below simply tells you how much almond

butter you will get if you grind up a certain amount of nut flour. It

isn't necessarily the substitution formula for baking. Or I could be

totally wrong. :-)
