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.

You can make mayonnaise and blend other soft items, like smoothies with fruits. the instruction booklet says do not to attempt to blend "fruit pits, bones or other hard materials" so not sure about nuts.

Yes. It will work much better than putting whole almonds through a blender or food processor. Just make sure you get the BLANCHED almond meal flour.

Yes, it is suppose to make nut butters; however, I have not made any yet. I can't imagine there would be any problems. This machine is fantastic.

Yes. You mix the amount you need and use it exactly like peanut butter. Do not add it as a powder (unless PB2 comes out with a recipe book)

I would say no; it's similar because you have to stir the oil in, but the stirred peanut butter is very runny and almost gloppy, to me. I actually don't like how runny it is. Adam's is much thicker.

No but you can make delicious amazing nut butters with a food processor or the vitamix.

Yes you can, I regularly make nut butters. For me it takes about 20mins at the most to get the nuts I've used so far to a smooth consistency (peanuts, hazelnuts). The blades do get build-up from process, so if you plan on making several batches, just wash the blades between batches in order to get the best results each time.

You really want a blender for creamy nut butters - you can do the initial chopping in a food processor, but a blender will give you better results. :)

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.

I have made almond butter with a blendtec, I believe it has about 2000 Watts. The machine smoked and almost burned. Try to stir peanut butter with a spoon to get an idea what will happen to a high Speed blender. With care you can make almond butter with a blendtec. But I bet you will burn this nutribullet in 30 seconds. They are not made for differing Speeds and differing things, only for high Speed Juice.

Yes... in the booklet that come with it (or in my case I had to request the book sent in snail mail) says you can use Soy or Almond milks also,that will be my next project to try making the yogurt with Almond and soy milks.

I would think you would have no problems with Almond Butter and Peanut Butter. The measurements are the same as on the Amazon Website.

There are a few online videos about making nut butter with this product. I have not personally made any but for the most part the nut butter comes out more chunky. If you want a smooth nut butter you should use a food processor.

Yes. But it will take at least a half hour with the "s" blade. Almond butter is not a quick process.

I have had that happen before, in different brands of almond butter. It just requires some stirring to mix it up.

No. The unit really heats up. So you'd have nut butter, but not really as the machine would likely seize up. It was only designed for wheat, rice, bean flours and the like. Honestly, as I don't eat beans rice or wheat anymore, I got rid of the machine.
