can you blend almonds and/or peanuts to make almond or peanut butter?

We use a food processor to do that. Blenders are not normally recommended for nut butters.

I was not able to do it. The blender's jar/canister is too large and the mixture sticks to the sides. It may work if the nuts are crushed in some manner and you start with very small pieces. Even then doubtful.

I really don't know. I would first research how other people make nut butter, what kind of tool they use. If they say a blender then I see no reason why you could not use this for that then.

I've honestly never mixed them but I'm sure there would be no problem whatsoever in mixing flavors (especially two as similar as chocolate and peanut butter chocolate). It tasty for whey protein though!

Yes to first question. I make smoothies with many nut varieties (from Costco) and it works great. I do not know much about making almond milk, follow the recipe.

Chocolate chip cookie dough, vanilla almond crunch, double chocolate chunk, any of the peanut butter flavors. I believe mixed berry was good too, but I prefer the dessert type flavors.

Hi DukeofURL sure you can ' ALMOND & peanut butter ... For the almond you need lots of patience takes like 20 to 30 minutes to the almonds to release the oils ... In the Peanut department it's way more easy and fast just make sure the peanut selection is very fresh and make intervals so you can scrap the sides and run it again ! Good look. Be healthy

I never tried to make almond milk but it does pulverize things to the point of almost turning onions into a liquid. A blender might be better for almond milk.

Maybe if you add oil to the nuts before starting but it doesn't get creamy. Also you'll burn the motor out pretty fast. We make mayo every few days with the stick portion and the motor gets hot after about 30 seconds of blending. The instructions say not to run it for more than about 30 seconds at a time and when i make almond butter it takes much longer than that, so I use my blender.

I suppose you could soak your almonds , blend in a v.m. , and strain. This option was less expensive for me vs. buying a v.m. , it is stainless steel, has multiple settings, it cooks, and cleans very easily. If you have a v.m. you don't need this to blend almonds, or make soup. But, use a fine mesh strain and a rubber spatula to get all the milk from your batch. After you do that, use a nut milk bag if you need the milk to be extra smooth. I find I never need to use my nut milk bag any more after using the fine strainer. Nut milk bag is a lot of work and you never get all the milk out. Again, if you have a vita mix, you don't need this maker. But do invest in a good strainer with a handle , and a rubber spatula. Milk tip, use almond extract instead of vanilla when making almond milk, its awesome!

Hi Paula.. honestly have not tried.. but cannot imagine that it will be difficult.. The machine is based on stones running against each other and we routinely grind rice. Rice is quite hard and hopefully almonds can be ok too... But.. no clue if the apparatus is a good option for the almond butter process overall.. Hope this is useful.. take care.. Rajesh

I've never made peanut butter but I don't think these would work simply because you'd have to peel all the skins. I used them for Christmas candy and peanut brittle where it didn't matter that they had skins. They are great tasting and roast nicely.

my guess, without doing furthur research, is that all peanut butters use roasted peanuts, raw peanuts would produce a very different tasting product, almost all Almond butters use roasted nuts as well. As to why? To get that great peanut buttery flavor! An un-roasted product would be much blander.

Yes, in fact you can make excellent nut butters that are consistently smooth and creamy. Our of you prefer, just chop them up.

I'm sorry, I can't answer that question, as I have never made peanut butter, just peanutbrittle.

I can think of no reason you could not. It would blend we'll & I find it to not have a strong flavor. Hope this helps.

Yes I have. I make almond butter. I takes a lot longer without oil, so the second time I uses a little almond oil and it was much better. The third time I made it I used a little almond oil and a little melted coconut oil. omg! it is GREAT.

Yes you can make almond milk. It is very good. Just remember to push the mill button not the milk button. It's very fast.And my children can run it. We are happy with our Soyabella. Linda

These are raw peanuts and yes peanut butter can be made from raw peanuts. The only problem with these particular peanuts is, they have their shell skins. So, unless you want to go to the trouble to de-skin them, I'd say probably not good to make the butter with these nuts. Hope this helps.
