things people ask

• Why does my cup of almond butter weigh less than 272 g?
  Two things: separation and air pockets. If the oil has pooled at the top of the jar and you scooped from the dry, packed bottom, you'll measure heavy. If you scooped from a freshly stirred jar with air whipped in, you'll come up 15-20 g light. Stir the jar fully, let it settle a minute, then spoon and level for a stable 272 g cup.
• Can I swap almond butter cup-for-cup with peanut butter in baking?
  By volume, almost — both run roughly 250-272 g per cup. But almond butter is slightly drier and less sweet than commercial peanut butter, so cookies can come out crumblier and less tender. If a peanut butter cookie recipe calls for 1 cup, weigh out 272 g of almond butter and consider adding an extra tablespoon of fat or a touch more sugar.
• Does natural almond butter measure differently than the no-stir kind?
  Yes. No-stir almond butter has stabilizers that keep the texture uniform, so a cup lands close to 272 g every time. Natural almond butter separates — the dense paste at the bottom can push a cup to 285-290 g if you scoop unstirred. Stir the whole jar back together before measuring, especially for recipes where the fat-to-solid ratio drives texture.
