Peanut butter Substitutes — Tested Swaps & Ratios

Peanut butter substitutes^A

Tested swaps for peanut butter, with ratios and sources.

1:1 almond butter^B or cashew butter^B (The Nessy Kitchen)
Use natural or no-stir-style for the closest consistency. The flavor is milder and slightly sweeter than peanut butter.

1:1 sunflower seed butter (nut-free) (Cotter Crunch)
Best peanut-free option for schools and allergen-sensitive baking. Baking soda can react with chlorogenic acid in sunflower butter and turn cookies/muffins green — harmless but cosmetic.
