Are you going gluten-free? In a world full of wheat products, switching to a gluten-free diet can be a startling change. Even products you would expect not to contain gluten, such as almond butter, often turn out to have hidden wheat ingredients. Others don’t have any wheat on their labels, but they’re made in facilities that also process wheat, so they could get contaminated along the way. That could lead to a nasty reaction. Fortunately, there are some products on the market that keep your special needs in mind.
The best almond butter for gluten-free diets is one that contains just what the name implies: almonds. When there are no added sweeteners, thickeners, fats or other extra ingredients, it’s a lot harder for those hidden gluten sources to sneak up on you. You can enjoy the pure, rich taste and healthy protein punch of gluten-free almond butter in your sandwiches, cookies, smoothies and more!
Of course, a nut butter made only from almonds isn’t truly gluten-free unless it’s processed in a wheat-free facility. While some people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease won’t notice the traces of gluten from cross-contamination, more sensitive consumers certainly will. Almonds may be naturally gluten-free, but it’s important for them to stay that way during the entire manufacturing process.
At Maisie Jane’s all of our nut butter products are made in a peanut-free facility.
Both almonds and peanuts are naturally gluten-free, but almond butter is the better choice for many people who are trying to stay away from wheat. Celiac sufferers often discover that they have additional food allergies or intolerances. One of the most common food allergies is peanuts. Almond butters provide a safer alternative for people with celiac disease who also have trouble with peanuts. Plus, the lack of added ingredients in Maisie Jane’s almond butter means there are no worries about soy or other potential allergens, either.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Combine all ingredients except salt in a medium sized bowl, beating until smooth. The dough should form a sticky ball and pull away from the sides of the bowl. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
Scoop the dough onto the parchment-covered cookie sheet in balls approximately 1 inch across. Sprinkle lightly with coarse-grained sea salt if desired.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until just browned. Allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Let the cookies cool to room temperature before eating for best results.
No matter how you like your almond butter, it’s important to make sure it’s safe and gluten-free. Choose Maisie Jane’s almond butter in smooth or crunchy to provide the best and healthiest ingredients for all your favorite recipes. You’ll be amazed at the difference a little almond butter can make.
