20 Unique Nut Butters That Will Put Skippy to Shame

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Vandy chapter.

They say the quickest way to a person’s heart is through their stomach, so I’m bringing you a list of 20 of the most exotic nut butter spreads that I could find. From savory and spicy to sweet and scrumptious, spread the love with a knife and get eating. 

1. Big Spoon Chai Spice

Big Spoon’s handcrafted nut butters like Chai Spice and Almond Ginger have some zing. The strong cinnamon and cardamom spices in chai make this an awesome butter to pair with anything apple, like this delicious cinnamon apple quinoa breakfast bowl.

2. Krema Hot & Spicy

Look no further for a firey blast with your morning toast. It’ll be jalapeño face (lol). Thai food is all about the peanut sauce, so if you’re feeling up for it, whip up some thai noodles and sub the regular, boring peanut butter for this spicy version.

3. Eliot’s Adult Nut Butter Honey Chipotle

A little bit of smoke and spice with a hint of sweetness would be perfect for grilling. Use it as a dip with chicken wings, slather it on some barbecue ribs, or spread it on these dank sliders.

4. Better Off Spread Sweet Child of Lime

Coconut key lime pie in spreadable form. Drizzle it on top of some chocolate coconut macaroons for some bite-sized coconut bliss.

5. Monkey Butter Maple Bacon

Won’t go bacon your heart. Start your day off right and spread this on some toast with extra bacon on top.

6. Kalot Blueberry Vanilla Chia

Kalot adds a blend of fruit, nuts, and spices to their butters for more antioxidants, minerals, phytonutrients, and (of course) delicious taste. This would go great with blueberry muffins or in a blueberry breakfast smoothie.

7. The Peanut Principle 24 Carrot Gold

Trust me, after getting lost in the internet for hours on end, I can tell you that any nut butter flavor you can imagine exists. Weird, spicy, rich, sweet, spunky, you name it, it’s there. Don’t be a boring plain, creamy, or crunchy nut, be a bold and adventurous nut.
