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 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.

I can't answer that question Mr. Norton. I bought the peanuts for eating them as-is. My limited peanut butter experience is from dipping a knife into a jar of it from the grocery store.Good luck in your efforts. If you haven't already, I suspect you can find the "how to" on the Internet.

I haven't tried to make peanut or almond butter with it, because I use my food processor. But I don't think you should make nut butters with it, because you're not supposed to leave the nutribullet running for more than a minute, and it takes about 12 minutes to make smooth nut butters. Hope that helps!

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.

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

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.

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.

Yes you can... if you roast them in your oven for 15 minutes, then let them cool slightly, you can either 1) put them in a ziplock bag and shake them to remove the skins 2) use a clean dish towel and rub them. the skins fall right off when they are roasted. They also make a better tasting peanut butter. As a side note they become a very smooth peanut butter as the oils in the nuts have been activated already so it doesn't take as long for them to blend, about 1/2 the time.

I also grind nuts into flour and nut butter but I prefer my Blentec blender for this job because of the HP. This does can do this job as well but it will probably burn out it used for long periods of time.

We prefer the Vanilla so we can mix it with a bunch of different things to make our own flavor. It's generic enough for fruit smoothies and mixes fine. But when not making smoothies, I also add PB2 (by Bell Plantation) to make a peanut butter smoothie. (usually 3/4ths a scoop of vanilla and a tablespoon of PB2). Or add a teaspoon or two of cocoa powder to make chocolate. Or add both PB2 and Cocoa for a real treat. The point is, vanilla is so versatile! I don't often drink it straight as vanilla.

Yes it can, it's not meant to be able to make peanut butter but with enough pulls you'll get a medium coarse powder.

I make it with the peanut oil, the peanut oil isn't bad for you & it makes it easier to mix.

Possibly, however, I haven't personally tried peanuts. May work best with peanuts if you first run them through a blender. I don't believe whole peanuts would work so well.

I have used the grinder blade and definitely made peanut butter and almond butter with it. It's pretty amazing. I was actually just attempting to make almond flour out of it for baking purposes and before I knew it, it was butter!

I have only used my for nuts and spices. I have no idea about peanut butter. It's a great machine...

I have made peanut butter in it but have not tried almonds. Works great for peanut butter! Hope this helps!
