Almond Butter Bars FAQ

Is almond butter actually healthier than peanut butter?

Almond butter is generally considered a healthier option than peanut butter because it tends to have more unsaturated fats, fiber, and vitamins such as Vitamin E. However, both almond butter and peanut butter can be part of a healthy diet when consumed in moderation.

Is it okay to eat almond butter daily?

It is generally okay to include almond butter in your daily diet in moderation. Almond butter is a good source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber, but it is important to be mindful of portion sizes to avoid excessive calorie intake.

Does almond butter spike sugar?

Almond butter has a lower glycemic index compared to some other spreads, which means it is less likely to cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. However, individual responses to foods vary, so it’s best to monitor your own blood sugar levels and choose foods that work well for your body.

What does almond butter go well with?

Almond butter pairs well with fruits like apples and bananas, whole grain toast, smoothies, yogurt, and in recipes such as energy bars or baked goods. Its creamy texture and nutty flavor make it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes.

Can I substitute almond butter with another nut butter in the recipe?

Yes, you can substitute almond butter with high-quality Sicilian pistachio butter, hazelnut butter, or protein-added spreads in flavors like pistachio, chocolate and hazelnut, and salted caramel. These options provide a delicious twist to the recipe while maintaining a nutty and creamy base.

How should the almond butter bars be stored to maintain freshness?

We recommend freezing the almond butter bars and thawing them for 20 to 40 minutes before eating, depending on the season. For short-term storage, you can keep them in the fridge if they will be consumed within a few days. However, note that they will have a softer texture when stored in the fridge.

Can the almond butter bars be made gluten-free or dairy-free?

Absolutely. Oats are naturally gluten-free, so no substitutions are needed in that regard. For a dairy-free option, you can replace the yogurt with a dairy-free alternative like soy yogurt. This adjustment ensures that the almond butter bars can be enjoyed by individuals with gluten sensitivities or dairy intolerances.
