Want a blender that can make nut butters and break down gf oats into flour. Can this do it?

Honestly I don't see why it wouldn't be able to. It turns ice into dust in a matter of seconds, it really has made my life a lot easier. I haven't used this blender for dry goods and don't have any experience doing that so I can't guarantee it. There is a recipe guide that it comes with for a "Crunchy Thai Peanut Spread" and the first step for making that is to take two cups roasted peanuts and pulse on "option 1" until chunky. So I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue.

Why not? Its just a blender top that uses the motor of the mixer instead of having a separate motor. It is much sturdier than the Oster Kitchen Center I replaced it with. I chop nuts in a food processor. They work better than a blender I think for nuts chopping nuts.

I believe the instructions mention making butters with it but I've never tried. I imagine you could but wouldn't get it smooth like the commercial stuff. A VitaMix or food processor would work better. Hope this helps. By the way, it's GREAT for wheatgrass/greens.

I would be shocked to know this would work with nut butters. I wasn't even able to make them with my old Breville Blender, which was a pretty powerful blender. I make nut butters in my high speed blender withno problem. This immersion blender is awesome for use on the stove or whipping up quick salad dressings . . .but I really wouldn't recommend trying it on nut butters. It's great on juicy foods or foods with liquid them, though.

I used it to make pasteles, which is a traditional Puerto Rican holiday dish. It was capable of grinding bananas and other hard vegetables to a pasty consistency, so I guess it will work for the nut butters you mention.

I would not use the grain mill for that. You can use a blender or small coffee grinder though.

Yes, but to be honest a good blender or sm food precessor is better, or large depending on how many nuts you'll be grinding at a time!

I had an Oster blender that lasted a few years (only 2 because it was dropped and broken) but it made smoothies like a dream. Also, blended up flax seeds/dry rice/oats/etc. to make various flours within a minute. I got a Ninja Professional BL500 and was sorely disappointed as, like the other reviewer said, the smoothies were chunky and gross. Also, with the 6-blade thing its hard to fit anything in it to blend! My husband is currently returning it and I am looking for another lower-than-Blendtec or VitaMix-priced blender. Tempted to try Kitchenaid or Oster this time...hmm...

No. It's a blender. I use it to mixcake mixes, make smoothies, blend gravy, soups, etc.I also use it to make fruit and vegetable purees.

I don't think so...but I haven't tried. a blender or food processor might be a better option for that

It is not a blender or mixer in the same respect as the kitchen appliances. This mixer is only for liquids. You can scramble raw eggs in it, protein drinks, lemonaid etc. Lighter liquids; for instance you cant make an Ice cream shake in it; the ice cream is too thick, or you cant put in fresh fruit and expect it to blend or chop it up. Keep to the lighter liquids and its just great.The

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.

Hello Ashley B. As I am wheat free, I have never tried the blender for that purpose. A food processor would definitely be better, but this blender has a fairly wide base, so it would likely work fine. Sorry, I can't be of better help. Good luck.

YES! It's a great appliance, and the price can't be beat. The blade is strong (It works exactly like my cuisinart. The only real difference is that the overall machine is lot lighter/ weighs less). I've had no problem making applesauce or nut butters.

Absolutely! I make some very easy to make but very yummy Almond butter. Nothing else needed beside this jar and the blender.

It makes less noise than your typical non-professional blender but it does make quite a bit of noise, nothing too significant. Yes, it can make nut butter, peanut butter is easy but almond butter is a bit more complicated to do.

No, the nutribullet has a hard time blending things that are overly thick. You even have to be careful when making smoothies.
