So what is the difference between almond butter and almond paste? The main difference is that almond butter is made almost purely from the nuts alone, whereas almond paste includes other ingredients, primarily sugar.
This simple difference leads to quite a lot of variety between the two products and, in this article, we’ll take a deeper look into what this means and how to use them each properly.
Almond Butter
Almond butter is a simple paste made primarily from almonds, usually roasted. Depending on the maker, there may be sugar or oil added, and some manufacturers or home butter makers will also use raw almonds.
Almond butter is essentially the same as peanut butter, only made with a different nut. We love Justin’s Almond Butter.
