To use, simply open the jar and stir the almond butter if oil separation has occurred. This is a natural process. You can then spread it generously on bread, crackers, or fruit. It blends well into sauces, dressings, and marinades, adding a depth of flavor. For baking, it can be incorporated into cookies, muffins, and energy bars, providing moisture and a nutty taste. It also makes a delicious base for dips and spreads, often paired with honey or spices.
