Stirring and measuring almond butter
Natural almond butter separates, with a layer of oil rising to the top, so stir it thoroughly back together before you measure or you'll scoop a dry, dense plug. A cup of well-stirred almond butter weighs about 256 g (9 oz), and a tablespoon about 16 g. Press it firmly into the cup to push out air pockets, or weigh it for accuracy. In baking it often swaps 1:1 for peanut butter, giving a milder, slightly sweeter result; use the smooth, drippy natural style for batters and the firmer no-stir style for spreading.
