Alternative PB substitutes

fancynewbeesly

My daughter was just diagnosed with a peanut allergy--which I did suspect, after kissing her when I had PB, and it left a mark on her cheek.

Now I am looking for substitutes.

I know Eddy had a post about this awhile back--but I am way to lazy to try to search for it

 So..what are your favorite subs? Which taste the most like peanut butter? 

Bonus for it being sold on amazon!

I've seen tons of different substitutes, and actually tried almond butter.  It was pretty similar to PB in flavor.  Then again, I tend to think most nut butters taste similar to PB because I'm not a big fan of nuts or their purees in general and my palate isn't very sensitive to the differences in flavor.

Thanks for the tip!

Right now, we aren't sure if she has an allergy to tree nuts--we are getting bloodwork done tomorrow. If she doesn't have an allergy to tree nuts I definitely will look at almond butter.

I love almond butter and cashew butter.  They both have a distinct taste quite unlike peanut butter, but they're good.  I think almond butter is closer.

Stay the heck away from "soynut butter."  YWIA.

Some people use Sunbutter but I tried it and personally think it tastes nothing like peanut butter (read: not good). DS didn't like it, either. But maybe your family would like it.

My kids love sunbutter- I think it's pretty good too.

Love Sunbutter.  Of course it doesn't taste like PB, but it does have a similar consistency.

DH is highly allergic to all nuts and I have found that Soynut Butter tastes the most like real peanut butter. I even made a PB pie out of it and his family couldnt tell the difference. They even make chuncky, smooth, and chocolate!

Ive been able to buy it at Target and ShopRite.
