Chef’s Secret

To prevent natural peanut butter from separating, store it upside down for a day or two, then right side up, or keep it refrigerated after opening.

Substitutions

Best Match

Regular Creamy Peanut Butter

1:1

Very similar; "fat creamy" implies less processed/natural, so regular might have stabilizers.

Almond Butter

1:1

Good for similar texture and nutty flavor, but note tree nut allergy difference.

Cashew Butter

1:1

Creamier and milder, suitable for sauces and baking where a less dominant flavor is desired.

Tahini

1:1 (adjust for flavor)

Nut-free alternative with a similar texture for dressings and sauces, but distinctly sesame flavor.

Buying Guide

Look for minimal ingredients (peanuts, salt); "natural" types may require stirring separated oil.
