Almond flour is excellent for baking with, almonds are a good source of healthy fats. Yes, almonds are perfect for diabetics.

Hi I mix almond butter into whipped cream as a dessert. Yummy

Where do you buy your Almond Butter? I've never heard of it before today. Is it similar to peanut butter? :)

Ooooh thanks, I'll put it on my shopping list. I've never noticed it on the shelves at all. But will now certainly find it. :D

I also buy almond butter at Tesco- along with my marzipan and Mr Kipling Almond Slices :lol:

I find almond butter a bit too thick and sticky to eat straight off, but it's lovely in a curry as an alternative to peanuts as you would get in a satay sauce. :thumbup:

When I'm in a peanut butter mood, I don't get as far as even spreading it on a cracker, I just behave like a bear, stick my paw into the jar and omnyomyom ... hope I can do that with almond butter too.

The more I eat LCHF foods, I'm amazed at how quickly I'm losing my sweet tooth. :shock:

You don't have to buy jars of any nut butter. Just put the nuts of your choice in a blender/processor and whizz until smooth. Most nut butters have added palm oil, sugar and salt. The skippy brand used to contain hydrogenated fat!
